Whitney Port is opening up about her desire to expand her family.

During a solo episode of her podcast, With Whit, the reality TV star, 41, candidly spoke about her desire to welcome another child. Port, who has been open in the past about trying to welcome a second baby with husband Tim Rosenman, shared that she tries not to complain about being a mom of one and feels like a "brat mom."

"I never want to complain about being a mom of one," she said. "Feel really insecure about it because I feel like it is overall probably a lighter load. And I want to say, probably just because I don't know the difference, but the fact that he doesn't have someone to consistently play with and keep him busy and relies on us for that can be a lot at times."

"And even as I say that out loud, I feel guilty because I want more," Port added. "And the fact that I'm even complaining about this makes me feel like such a brat mom."

She went on to say that she feels for her son Sonny, 8, whom she says is "yearning" for a deeper connection with someone who is around his age."I feel for him in wanting a connection [with] a child," she said. "[Someone] that has silly interests and can play with him and use their imagination and the way that he can."

"There's a yearning for that that I feel from him, and then I want for him," she adds.

Port then gave an update on her surrogacy journey, revealing that her surrogate is preparing for another transfer.

"Our surrogate is starting her medications to begin another transfer. So, this will be our fourth transfer with the surrogate, and we will be using an embryo from our first round that I did," she explained. "And I'm hoping because it was earlier that it's better quality, but who even knows? All of these embryos have been great quality, and you just never know. So, four times a charm, let's go."

Back in January, the fashion designer and author spoke with Spread the Jelly and candidly opened up about her struggles with infertility. Port explained that she's hoping to get to a place of acceptance with what her family looks like.

"I don't think motherhood looks like what I imagined," Port shared. "I never thought I'd be a mom to an only child. I always knew I wanted more than one. I didn't picture this, and that's been a little weird for me. My identity as a mom doesn't feel fully solidified yet because I feel incomplete. I really do."

"I'm trying to come to a place of acceptance with having one child, because I haven't been able to get pregnant with a second," she continued. "We're still on the journey and still trying. But it feels like there's a piece of my motherhood pie that isn't complete."

Port went on to admit that she feels "insecure" sometimes as a mother because of it. She said when she speaks with other working moms, she doesn't feel like they're on equal footing.

"This sounds awful, but there's this feeling like one isn't enough — or that it's not as hard, or not as much to balance, or not the full picture," she explained. "And I carry that insecurity. I've done a lot of work around it."

"Most of the time, I'm able to tell myself, 'Okay, if it's just the three of us, that is wonderful.' It really is. I'm so grateful that we were even able to have one," said Port. "But there's still a part of me that doesn't feel complete."
