Stewart froze her eggs while she was recovering from an injury in 2018. Coming off a WNBA championship, Stewart quietly decided to expand her family via a gestational surrogate in 2021.
Xargay Casademont discussed the surprise engagement in May of that year, according toArizona Republic, including how Stewart invited her to go hiking so she could get down on one knee in nature.
“I was complaining because she wanted to go hiking. You know Phoenix is super hot so I was just like, ‘I don’t want to be outside.’ She planned the whole day, telling me let’s go for a walk, do something, take pictures. I was like, ‘Okay, let’s do it,’ " she recalled.
“I wasn’t expecting that to happen. In the end, it turned out to be a really good day,” she added.
