‘Bachelorette’ Alum Cam Ayala Details What’s Next After 8-Hour Leg Amputation Surgery, Hopes to Start a Family

usmagazine.com:

Six days after having his right leg amputated amid a decades-long battle with lymphedema, Cam Ayala opened up about what’s next for his health and personal journey.“My short-term and long-term goals haven’t changed from what they were from when I first went on the show,” the Bachelorette season 15 alum said exclusively on Us Weekly’s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast. “I’d love to get married, be a husband and then eventually be a father.

Whether that’s having kids naturally or adopting or surrogates, it’s in my DNA. It’s in my heart that I do wanna be a father.

I do wanna be a husband. So I would love [if] that happens sooner rather than later, but I’ve also leaned really heavily into my faith and know that that’s all in God’s time of when that’s supposed to happen and who that’s supposed to happen with.”He continued: “I’m not putting as much pressure on that.

And obviously, I haven’t been, like, openly dating since I’ve been so hyper focused on getting myself mentally and physically and emotionally prepared for the surgery, which I just underwent.”Ayala was diagnosed with lymphedema at age 11.
