   Tyra Banks talks fertility issues, cries on camera as she advises people to stop meddling in couple's lives

As promised last week, on the recently launched The FabLife, Tyra Banks and Chrissy Teigen discussed the painful topic of fertility problems, opening up on their own. Tyra in particular got extremely emotional as she recalled the rounds of IVF she and her boyfriend underwent in order to start their dream family.

The episode in question aired last night, and as you can see in the video below, it also included a segment in which Tyra directly addressed all those who thought questions about a possible future pregnancy in others were fair game.

Tyra is having none of your questions

The preview released last week (see the second video available below) focused mostly on Chrissy and her admission that she and husband John Legend had been trying for years to conceive.

It was followed by Tyra’s painful admission, with both women trying to stress a very important point: it was never ok to judge a woman and her baby plans by your own standards, because you could never know what was going on with her.

The episode saw Tyra deliver the message loud and clear, by asking the camera to focus on her while she spoke to this kind of people.

“You just have no idea what people are going through, so when you ask Chrissy that or me that or anybody that, it is none of your frigging business, okay?” she said, tearing up again. “And for any women, it is none of your business what somebody is going through. Whether they want to have a child or don't ever want to have a child or may have a child on the way, it's none of your business, okay? Until somebody wants to make it your business.”

Tyra Banks wants a family

Also last week, Tyra opened up for the first time on her fertility issues, speaking with People Magazine and admitting that she and boyfriend Erik Asla had tried everything to get pregnant, including IVF.

She admitted that she always put off starting a family thinking a time would come when she would be less busy, and that she ended up at 40 realizing that she might have postponed the pregnancy for too long.

The only reason she spoke out on this painful and deeply personal matter, she said, was her desire to have people stop asking her when she would have a child, or why she didn’t want one.
