On the 90 Day Fiancé tell-all episode, Anna and Mursel opened up about the idea of using a surrogate to have a child together and the possible effects it would have on his family back in Turkey. The couple has not had an easy season as Mursel actually went back home to please his strict Muslim family, only to realize that he did indeed want to marry Anna after receiving his family’s blessing. Now he’s trying to convince audiences that he no longer cares what his family thinks and he will have a baby with Anna through surrogacy regardless of what they think.
Anna has been featured on season 7 of the hit TLC show as she figured out her love life with her fiancé, Mursel. She originally connected over their mutual love of beekeeping but have since realized upon meeting that they have a number of cultural differences between them, including a rather large language barrier that requires the assistance of a translator app. Both reality TV stars are 38-years-old, with Mursel hailing from Turkey and being a devout Muslim and Anna being a single mother of three who lives in Nebraska and practices Christianity. Their road to wedded bliss was tainted by Mursel lying to his family about Anna having three children from a prvious relationship. During that time befor the wedding, Anna cried almost every day while trying to explain to Mursel that he needed to tell his family about her children. The damage had been done when Anna, even for a brief moment, accepted that her husband to be was ashamed to tell him family about her three children. All three of her sons were old enough to understand that they were being hidden and, in the end, it hurt them deeply.
On the 90 Day Fiancé tell-all special, Anna and Mursel sat next to each other as if they did not just get married at the very last minute before their visa expired. Anna tried to get Mursel to show that he could speak English while being interviewed but he was happy using the translator TLC provided. Anna then revealed that her oldest son, Joey, was still upset that his mother had married and did not like that his little brother had started calling the reality star, “dad.” Many thought Mursel came across as childish as he thought he could honestly hide the fact that he would have step kid from his strict family back in Turkey.
Mursel then made a huge announcement that he would like to have more children with Anna as he would like his blood line to continue. Anna admitted that she could not have any more babies and they would need to look into using a surrogate as she’s unable to have any more kids at her age. However, the catch is that surrogacy happesns to be illegal in his home county of Turkey. Due to this complication, the couple have already decided that they would not be telling Mursel’s family back home in order to avoid further complications with getting their blessings. Though it seems it could cause Mursel’s family to not trust Anna again and push them even further from them.
Fans find it hard that the news of a possible surrogacy baby would not travel back to his family in Turkey as the show is a worldwide phenomenon. Obviously, Anna and Mursel have not learned their lesson the first time they lied, trying to hide something important from his family. Even though Mursel claimes he doesn’t care about what his family thinks regarding his decision to have a baby via surrogacy with Anna, this is also the man that left his fiancée and flew back to Turkey, just to get a blessing from his family.
