Perhaps the biggest shock on Sunday night’s episode was Sophie and Rob’s disagreement on children. While out to dinner with his sister Victoria, Rob said the couple was planning on having kids. However, Sophie chimed in that she doesn’t picture herself ever being pregnant. This set Rob off, and he left the table in anger shortly after.
“Sophie just rocked my entire belief in her and what we can have,” he told cameras. “What’s the next thing that you’re going to tell me that you really don’t want or you really don’t care about? I don’t want it to just be me and Sophie forever. Like, I really saw there being more to that. I really put my heart into that.”
For Sophie, the reason was much deeper. She recounted a life-saving surgery she had when she was a teenager. In the process, she was told she may have damaged eggs. “So since then, it’s like, would I rather, you know, be like, oh, yeah, like I’m going to be a mom one day and then be told actually you can’t have kids because that’s devastating,” she told Rob’s sister. “For me, it was easier to just be like, you know, actually I might not even want to be pregnant.”
It seemed Rob didn’t know the intention behind Sophie’s answer — and his response was overshadowed by emotion. “I don’t know what Sophie saw us doing with our later years. Like, all right, we want a grind, we want a gold chase right now. And then what? Even Jay-Z and Beyoncé got kids,” he told cameras.
Eventually, Rob confronted Sophie. “I feel like you done hit me over the head with this s— like, and then you’re trying to act like you have no idea that I would want kids,” he said.
To cameras, Sophie was confused about where they go from here. “It seems like he hates me, and it’s crazy how something like that can just go so sideways. I said one thing and he’s looking at me like he’s ready to walk away and leave,” she said. “I’ve never seen him look at me like that before. It’s a very upsetting situation and I don’t really know how we’re supposed to, I guess, make up from this.”
