Rita Ora says freezing her eggs in her twenties was one of the best decisions she made, this after learning about her family’s medical history. In an interview with Women's Health UK, the 35-year-old explained that a doctor advised her to preserve her eggs at ages 24 and 27, when fertility levels are typically higher.
Ora said the decision was influenced by her mother’s experience with breast cancer, which led to early menopause at age 39. Now married to filmmaker Taika Waititi, Ora is a stepmother to his two daughters from a previous marriage and has said she hopes to have a child with him in the future.
