Kim Zolciak-Biermann is mother to six children. She has two daughters from prior relationships and four children with her current husband, Kroy Biermann. Kim has been talking about wanting another baby. Another boy, specifically. Kim told Us Weekly in October, “I would love to have another little boy (because) I am just obsessed with my boys.” On Steve Harvey’s talk show last week, Kim came down even stronger on having another child. So strong, in fact, she is trying to talk Kroy into reversing his vasectomy.
Kim Zolciak-Biermann has her hands full with six kids — but her baby fever is running high.
The Don’t Be Tardy star — who is mom to Brielle, 20, Ariana, 16, KJ, 6, Kash, 5, and twins Kaia and Kane, 4 — stopped by Steve Harvey‘s eponymous talk show on Thursday with her husband Kroy Biermann and revealed that she’s got babies on the brain.
Though Kroy, 32, got a vasectomy after the twins were born — “Twins will do that to you!” quipped Kim — he admitted that his wife wants him to get the procedure reversed. But when it comes to expanding their family, the professional linebacker wants to take it slow.
“We kind of just went for it — we had good careers and the space and everything, and we wanted kids, so we just went for it,” he said. “Right now, we’ve got a lot of irons in the fire, so … you know, maybe we should plan a little better.”
“I’m about to be 40!” Kim, 39, fired back. “How much planning does he want to do?”
“I went back to work seven days after I had KJ, a couple of weeks after I had Kash, and shortly after I had the twins. I didn’t really have a break,” she said. “So I dream of having a baby, and just six weeks off, and living in that fantasy world”
For the most part, I don’t care if Kim and Kroy have another baby. But I question Kim’s reasoning in the clip, it’s evident that Kroy is not on board with it. Kroy got a vasectomy. Twins or not, that is a pretty clear message about his decision not to have more kids or, as he said, delaying the process.
Kim wants to have another boy because she’s obsessed with her boys, despite also having three girls – I hate that message, even if it’s true. When she was asked about it, her response was that her daughter Kaia was, “enough for a lifetime,” which could be read a couple of ways. I understand the possibility of a fertility window closing but rushing this decision because she’s “about to be 40,” is impetuous, she has some time left. But the last bit is the most head-slapping – a baby so she can take six-weeks off? Even Harvey asked, “Can’t you just have the time off? You gotta have a baby?” Not to mention that, as Kroy pointed out, Kim thinks she’s going to relax on the couch for six weeks but that’s not in her nature. She’ll be up and hustling the minute she gets bored. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.
Social media was cruel to Kim on this subject. Many accused her of wanting more kids but not taking care of the ones she had. I don’t think that’s fair, even if Kim believes, “our marriage first, kids second.” Kim hasn’t responded yet but we all know Kim – she will.

What’s wrong with believing marriage first kids second?
You marry an adult. Adults don’t need as much looking after as, you know, actual children.
Unless you’re a codependent, love addicted narcissist. Then you absolutely do need to put your marriage (ie yourself) first.
Wow, Prim. That’s ridiculous.
Marriage first, kids second does NOT mean the kids get neglected!
You’re supposed to be with your spouse in a healthy, loving, happy marriage LOOOONG after the last child leaves the nest. In fact, until death do you part. So what’s wrong with taking care of your marriage?
My husband and I did marriage first, kid second (we had one daughter). She was never neglected, never wanted for anything she needed, she was loved and grew up very happy and healthy. AND she always saw a good example of a loving marriage. She’s 23 now and hasn’t lived at home since she was 18 and is doing very well. Meanwhile, we didn’t have to turn to each other and say, “Who are you?”
If you neglect your kids, people notice and you could be in trouble with CPS. If you neglect your home, it gets bad pretty quickly. But if you neglect your marriage, no one will be able to see the results of that for years. And by the time you do, it’s usually too late.
Marriage first, kids second is HEALTHY.
Judgy wudgy was a bear
I totally disagree @anastasia. It should be kids first marriage second. THAT IS HEALTHY.
Marriage first, kids second is an archaic religious-born phenomena that says you should stick it out with a man that is a bad father, or abusive, because “marriage first”. The DUGGARS are a great example of “marriage first, kids second” and if you think they’re a good choice to model your life after then I guess this arguments lost on you anyway.
When on earth would your marriage come before your kids??!?!?! Yeah marriage is obviously important. I love my husband to death! But if my husband I have a date planned and one of my kids gets super sick? Yeah date night cancelled. Us with our sick baby. KIDS FIRST.
I feel very strongly on this subject. I cannot think of a situation where putting your marriage before your kids is a good thing. Not much money for xmas? Yeah presents for kids over presents for spouses. Not much food in the pantry? Again Kids first.
I agree with the other poster…marriage first sounds totally narcissistic. Don’t have kids if you aren’t prepared to put their needs ahead of your own. My husband and I are a team who totally agree that our kids needs come before our own and we do what is best for them and their futures when making important decisions.
Prioritizing marriage doesn’t mean “neglect your kids.” We put kids first, and are now in process of divorce. Saddest thing ever. It was shockingly easy to both pour so much into the kids that we didn’t even notice that we had lost each other along the way.
Gawd-famewhoring at it’s best. Just go on vacay and leave us alone.
HK9, you are 100% correct!
Yeah, what she really sees closing is the window on her long-extended 15 minutes. If all she’s got to keep viewers interested is another baby, maybe it’s time to find a real job. Ditto her husband and two oldest daughters.
Sorry, all, but I find her totally boring, obnoxious and superficial. I could care less what she does with having kids or not. She will raise them all to be vapid like her anyway. Yes, her 15 minutes were up long ago, but she still apparently feels she’s a very big deal and that we all think she’s very hot.
4 and 5 year olds don’t bring the same attention that pregnancy and a baby has. Duh.
Ratings must be low. And I seriously question her stated age.
Kim is just trying to extend her 15 minutes of fame. Her claim to fame was first being the mistress to the married Big Poppa on the Real Housewives. Her next gimmick was to marry a football player and start popping out kids. Well now her kids are getting older and she wants to extend her fame by having a Dugger sized family. Also Kim working is laughable. She is the most laziest person I have ever seen.
Big Poppa! Those were the good old days. Close yo legs to married men!
Does Kroy still have a job?
What the hell is she on about having to return to work right after giving birth? Her “job” is fame ho’ing and being filmed at home.
Hahaha I was thinking the same thing. What job does she have to rush off to?!? Good grief.
Well when you’re not hands on with the ones you have, I guess it’s easy to have constant baby fever. She has nannies, a chef, a personal assistant all stationed in her home. I’ve never seen her change a diaper, cook a meal or play with any of her kids. And if she’s 39, I’m 22🙄
Went back to work? Say what? Someone needs a dictionary.
I guess she heard about Hugh Grant’s next baby and wanted to give him a run for his money… how can she still be 39? I’m calling her 42 at best.
This woman makes me want to push push-pins into my eyes.
Ha! I snorted. Great comment.
Yah! Great comment……
She seems to get what she wants so I’m seeing a pregnancy announcement later this year!
Why y’all so harsh on Kim? Reality stars gonna reality star. I watched a couple of episodes of DBT. I think she is kinda tacky, yes, but otherwise no different than the rest of the bravolebrities. Can y’all enlighten me as to why she is so horrible?
39? Lol bish please.
She’s vile.
Because why not have more than six children to exploit for your reality lives? Makes perfect sense. She should go for multiples, like Octomom. Even better.
Of course the wine swilling famewhore wants another child, but to say she wants a BOY is absolutely asinine. The male partner decides the sex so are they going to do in vitro? If the shows ratings are any indication of her future employment then maybe she should rethink having another mouth to feed when the end is near.
The things parents say (or share ) about their kids on social media never fails to astound me. I’m obsessed with my boys ? Meaning what – she’s just mildly fond of her girls ? And saying one daughter was enough for a lifetime ? I’ve never seen this woman on TV but I ache for her daughters seeing this come from their own mother . Shame on her . And God help the next baby if it’s female – will she feel like she’s a consolation prize if her mom doesn’t get the hoped for boy ?
