When Kenny and I started talking about living together, we decided to live here in Mexico,” Armando explained. “She has my parents. She has her mother’s parents that she needs to visit and see often because of her young age,”

It was Armando who had breached the idea of having a child together via surrogacy to Kenneth. However, the latter did not want to do so as he was not sure that he would be able to take on all the responsibilities and joys of being a new parent at his, having recently turned 60.

During the Tell All episode of the TLC show’s fifth season, Armando and Kenneth shared that they were looking forward to welcoming a new child in their lives and had already started the process of surrogacy. While they were happy about the seven viable embryos that they now have, the couple seemed to disagree over how many embryos should they try with during the first round. Given the high rate of success, Kenneth stated that he wanted to use only one, while Armonado wanted at least two embryos for safety. The latter point is something that Kenneth seemed to be quite opposed to as he claimed that his past experience with the process has made him believe that doing so might lead them to have more than one child, which is not what they seem to be planning for.
