In reaction to the debate, Victoria clarified that the woman is not her direct surrogate, and that she only uses the term because she sees the woman’s children as her own.
“I see her children like my own, like she carried them and gave birth to them for me. That’s why she is my surrogate 😁🤗❤️,” she wrote in a follow-up tweet.
