In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the reality TV star said, "I was really adamant about creating a space not just for the baby but also for me and for us at this time in our lives. I wanted the space around us and around our child to feel peaceful, to feel free, and to feel positive, without any added pressure, good, bad, or indifferent from the show." I wasn't sure I could have that in the space where the show is now located. It was pretty obvious."
