"I'm ready to become a mom because I feel like it's just time. I've been through a lot and family has always been first for me," she told The Daily Dish. "It's always been something that I've dreamt about and I've always wanted. I just feel like I have a lot to give and why not do it while I can and while I've prepared for it. It's a conscious decision for me to not have had a child up until this point and so I'm actually planning for a child."
Porsha has been dating Todd Stewart, as we've seen this season on the Bravo hit reality series, but regardless of where that relationship goes in the future, Porsha is comfortable with raising a child on her own.
"Deciding to be a single mom is not for everybody. I feel like the way it would look like for me to be a single mom is not the way it would look for some other people," she said. "I've made sure I have a great support system. I've worked very hard financially to secure a future for a child. It's just something that I want now. The decision of having a child and not really putting the man first is just where I am. I'm 35 years old and I know that God has the right guy for me — but if it's not until 40, 45 that's OK, but I don't want to wait that long to have a child while I can and while everything's jumping and bumping and ready to go. I'm ready to take advantage of it."
However, Todd, whom she had previously dated before rekindling a romance with him, has been sure to let Porsha know his true feelings on the matter.
"When Todd first came back into my life it was great. [It was like], 'Oh my God, you were the love of my life then. I trust; I know you. You can be my baby daddy.' And then he turned that and he was like, 'You deserve to have a husband. You deserve to have a family. Let's start a relationship.' And we fell back in love from him wanting it so bad and then me also accepting it. I had to open myself back up to it," she said. "Throughout the season you'll see me kind of wrestle with if I'm going to concentrate on the man or am I just gonna go for what I want — 'cause we do have some bumps in our relationship."
