The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills beauty Bozoma Saint John recently went under the knife to remove a fibroid the size of a grapefruit.
While chatting with her co-star Dorit Kemsley on Bravoโs After Show, the 47-year-old opened up about the procedure.
โFibroid surgery was so, it was a scary thing, because who wants to have surgery?โ Saint John said. During the process, the TV personality discovered she had more fibroids than she initially thought.
โWasnโt there like 12?โ Kemsley, who is a fashion designer asked.
โYes, and one of them was the size of a grapefruit.โ Saint John replied.
The former Netflix chief marketing officer also shared that her fibroids werenโt life-threatening and she had them removed to be cautious and in hopes of one day having a child with her current partner Keely Watson.
โHonestly, you know, when I had been discussing my fibroids with my doctor, anyway, it wasnโt a life-threatening situation where itโs like, โOkay, look, if you donโt have it, this is going to happen to you,โ โ Saint John explained.
She continued, โI know that there are a lot of women who have very severe symptoms of their fibroids. I wasnโt one of those people. However, they were large, they were growing. And I just felt like, why wait until some other point where I donโt have a choice in order to do it?โ she said.
Kids have been a topic of discussion for Saint John and Watson since he doesnโt have any of his own and desires up to three. The reality TV star, however, has one daughter named Lael Saint John, whom she shares with her late husband Peter Saint John. He died from Burkittโs lymphoma, a rare form of cancer in 2013.







โAnd then on top of it, itโs like, again, Iโm not getting any younger. If Iโm having these conversations with Keely,โ she said while chatting with Kemsley. โAnd I truly believe that we have the opportunity to create a bigger family, then why not do it right now?โ
The mother of one added, โWith the fibroids, I have zero chance [at conceiving]. Also, I want a shot. I want a shot at it. So then I gotta choose to do it.โ
In addition to maintaining her health and family planning, the reality television star is also navigating losing her dream home in the recent Los Angeles wildfires.
