Maria Menounos is ready to start a family with her soon-to-be-husband Keven Undergaro.

According to a new interview, the television host is moving forward with her plans to conceive a child through in-vitro fertilization, despite the recent removal of her brain tumor and her mother's ongoing struggles with stage 4 brain cancer.

Speaking to People magazine for their latest issue, Menounos, who appears on the cover, confirmed that she and Undergaro still “want to have a family” and noted that she is “lucky” she wasn’t pregnant at the time the tumor was discovered.
“When you are pregnant, [tumors] grow fast,” she explained.

“The greatest thing that has happened out of all of this is you see God’s hands all around,” she added.

According to Menounos, her 51-year-old fiancé has stuck by her throughout her health crisis.

“He’d nap with me so I didn’t feel like I was alone, never left my side, never left the hospital, never got tired, never nothing,” she revealed. “When something like this happens, it’s so important to have people in your life that are going to lift you up. I was lucky enough to have that army around me.”

After revealing her shocking diagnosis, Menounos took to Instagram and shared a heartfelt post with her fans and followers.

"First I wanna say thank you all for the well wishes, prayers, and support. It's been a crazy time here in our home. I want you all to know that I'm ok! Seriously I'm recovering well and should be as good as new very very soon!" she wrote.

Maria Menounos and Keven Undergaro became engaged in March of last year after dating for nearly two decades.
