Jordana Brewster has been using her experience with surrogacy to help others because she believes in "paying it forward".
The 'Fast and Furious' actress is mum to two sons - Julian, 10, and Rowan, eight - with her ex-husband Andrew Form and both boys were born via surrogate and Jordana says being open about her journey has been a huge help to other people who are considering going down the same path.
She told PEOPLE: "I had moms reach out to me and say, 'Hey, can you walk me through this?' Or, 'Can you help me with this?'
"And I think life is all about paying it forward. And so if I can help someone because of the struggles I went through, I'm more than happy to do that".
Jordana previously went public with her journey to being a mum back in 2015 and revealed she often felt "awkward" when having to explain her situation.
She told Yahoo Parenting: "I didn’t really have a choice about being open, since it was obvious I wasn’t pregnant. And for me it wasn’t a choice, I needed to use a surrogate. But I didn’t feel judged, it’s more like I felt awkward."
She went on to add: "Sometimes I feel a little left out when other moms talk about what their birth experience was like, and I feel the loss of not having carried or having been able to carry [a baby]. But luckily I keep my circle tight and close, so I never feel judged ...
"There are so many women who are young and have to go through IVF and feel like they can’t talk about it, and that’s really unfortunate."
Jordana divorced her sons' dad in 2021 and went on to marry businessman Mason Morfit in 2022. She's now also stepmother to Mason's four children from a previous relationship.
