90 Day Fiance’s Dempsey Questions ‘Waste of Time’ Relationship with Statler Over Baby Dilemma!
Dempsey Wilkinson and Statler Riley’s relationship appears to be on shaky ground as they talk about the potential of starting a family.
On the September 10, episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, the girlfriends open up about what lies ahead for their relationship.
“I really want to have clarity from Statler about whether she wants kids or not,” Dempsey Wilkinson, 28, said in a confessional. “Because if we want different things, our whole relationship could just be a waste of time.”
The clip then transitions to a scene with Dempsey and 33-year-old Statler having dinner, where Dempsey broaches the subjects of marriage and starting a family with her partner.
“Why do you want kids? Why?” Statler retorts before her girlfriend tears up and explains that “children make the world a better place.”
Statler, meanwhile remains uncertain about the idea of having children.
“They seem like a lot of work and a lot of money,” she said, noting that being adopted herself makes her wary about putting those struggles onto a baby in a similar position. “I don’t know if I have the emotional and mental willpower. I don’t feel like I have that maternal bone inside me.”
While Dempsey expressed a positive outlook on adoption, Statler conveyed that she is currently navigating personal challenges.
“I think a lot of people go into adoption just thinking it’s all hunky dory and the kid’s going to be grateful to you and things are going to be easy,” Statler said in a confessional. “It’s just not the case. I was taken away pretty much the second I was born, so I’ve always felt that missing part of me, and I still have a lot of adoptee trauma that I have not worked through.”
She continued: “It’s honestly kind of triggering to have this kind of conversation.”
The snippet concludes with a palpable tension as Dempsey firmly declares her intention to “have a child” in the future, whether individually or with a partner.
UK native Dempsey and Statler initially forged their connection online. After a considerable seven-month period of getting to know each other through social media, the pair finally had their much-anticipated first face-to-face encounter on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days.
As viewers have seen unfold over the course of season 6, Statler took her first trip to Dempsey’s quaint hometown in rural England. Despite their strong connection, the couple has faced their share of disagreements, clashing over a range of issues from setting a timeline to cohabit to navigating the reactions of their family and friends to their relationship.
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days airs on Sundays, at 8 p.m. ET, on TLC.
