Dylan Alcott’s girlfriend shares exciting update
Tennis star Dylan Alcott’s girlfriend, Chantelle Otten has shared an exciting update on the couple’s plans to expand their family.
Otten took to her Instagram Stories to announce that she is currently undergoing hormone fertility therapy to freeze her eggs, in hopes of one day starting a family with the Paralympic star.
“I’m actually going through my second round of egg freezing at the moment,” she said.
“I think a lot of people watched Dyl (Dylan) and I, on Big Miracles, a few months ago.
“And yeah I’m just doing another round because I want to have them there for when we are ready but also I can donate afterwards as well.
“I know plenty of people who might not have as good of a journey as I am having with egg freezing because I have a lot of eggs unlike the Easter bunny so if anyone has questions about it please let me know,” she added.
Otten, who is a sexologist, met the seven-time Australian Open winner who represented Australia in the Paralympics, at one of his book readings in 2018 and the pair began dating that same year.
The couple made their relationship public at a tennis event in April 2019.
The couple have been open about their plans to start a family and have appeared on Nine’s IVF documentary Big Miracles to share their fertility journey.
"We're both young but also super pumped to be parents one day so it's something we're excited to think further about in the future,” Alcott had said in an interview for the documentary.
Otten has shared that the couple started discussing their options for the future during COVID.
"Honestly, we just came together and I said, 'I think I might freeze my eggs'. Dylan thought it was a great idea," she told Nine.
"We weren't sure what our fertility journey would be like as a couple so this felt like a natural next step in our process. It didn't take us long to think about it but in terms of taking steps and looking at options,” she added.
