Minnesota’s first lady said the couple used a procedure called intrauterine insemination, not IVF, prompting JD Vance to accuse Walz of “lying.”
Tim Walz ’s wife has walked back a claim that the couple conceived their children thorough in vitro fertilization , saying it was a different fertility treatment which made them parents.
“Like so many who have experienced these challenges, we kept it largely to ourselves at the time—not even sharing the details with our wonderful and close family,” Gwen said. “The only person who knew in detail what we were going through was our next-door neighbor.” Walz and his wife Gwen had claimed their children Hope and Gus were conceived by IVF but now say it was a different procedure.Gwen’s husband Tim previously claimed, “Thank God for IVF, my wife and I have two beautiful children.”
“After seeing the extreme attacks on reproductive health care across the country—particularly, the efforts in Alabama that jeopardized access to fertility treatments—Tim and I agreed that it was time to formally speak out about our experience,” Gwen added.
