Host Sarah Valentina Winkhaus - Creating a Family via Sperm Contribution
Around mid-March last year, TV host Sarah Valentina Winkhaus (42) captivated her Instagram followers with the glorious news of her baby girl Clara's birth. At that time, she tagged the journey that led to this miracle as "tumultuous and protracted." In a chat with "Bild," Winkhaus opened up about this more candidly.
Winkhaus' beautiful daughter, Clara, is a product of exhaustive hormone treatment and sperm donation. She strongly emphasized the need for increased awareness about this matter: "I assumed, like many other women, that I was so fertile. I didn't grasp then that we women start to decline on the fertility curve after 35. If you're younger and still chill, it would be great if you could freeze your eggs without the cost of expensive hormone therapy. This should be a priority issue for doctors!"
Since 2013, Winkhaus has reported for the pay-TV network Sky from the Formula 1 racecourse. Balancing her career and family plans was a challenge, as she elucidates further: "I'd gotten stuck in the limbo status, where many women wanting children end up." Eventually, she reached a life-altering insight: "We've been told since childhood that we cannot have it all. Why not? Who decided that? I want a career and a child. And when it's ideal for everyone - for all parties involved."
The sweet outcome? Just in time for Valentine's Day on February 14, 2023, her precious daughter Clara was welcomed into the world. The article stated that the sum of aprox. 30,000 euros was spent on motherhood but Winkhaus would gladly spend it again: "Clara has introduced a new time paradigm for me. There is only one life before this miracle and one life after this immense joy. I am inexpressibly grateful to have gone through with it."
