Throughout her journey, Taank has shown strength and resilience, refusing to let setbacks define her
“It’s so tough,” Jessel told the group. “It becomes, like, gossip, and I didn’t want to be the subject of any negativity.”
“We are a very reserved culture, and everything circulates around family,” said Jessel. “I didn’t want to be seen as weak, I didn’t want to be seen as unable, and so I chose to continue this narrative that everything’s fine.”
Taank’s determination to become a mother became a driving force in her life, and underwent IVF treatments before giving birth to her twins, as she revealed in Episode 2 of the series
She has described feeling stressed by others regularly asking when she and Pavit would have children. Specialists told her she had unexplained infertility, prompting her to undergo five cycles of IVF treatment.
Jessel said she kept her IVF a secret from her mother — who appeared in the RHONY Season 14 premiere — out of concern of worrying her loved ones.
