From People Magazine
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Sally says that he and Shepherd agreed to have a child via surrogate – using Sally's sperm and a donor egg after doctors found that Shepherd's eggs were not viable – within a year of their 2011 wedding.
"[Sherri] said, 'I will love the baby like it's mine,'" says Sally.
Then six months into the pregnancy, he says the star – who recently weathered a tough custody battle over her 9-year-old son, Jeffrey, with ex-husband Jeff Tarpley – blindsided him with the news that she wanted a divorce.
Still, "she never said she didn't want the baby," says Sally.Sherri is moving forward with the divorce and has not had contact with the baby at all.
