- A "90 Day Fiancé" contestant is also one of the sperm donors in Netflix's "The Man with 1000 Kids."
- Kyle Gordy appeared on "90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise" earlier this year.
- Gordy, who claims to have fathered over 70 kids, also runs a sperm donation website.
Viewers who have watched the latest conversation-starting Netflix docuseries, "The Man with 1000 Kids," may be wondering what happened to the other prolific sperm donors featured.
For Kyle Gordy, the show wasn't his first brush with fame. He appeared on "90 Day Fiancé" earlier this year, and was the focus of a 2021 Vice documentary about sperm donation.
"The Man with 1000 Kids" docuseries spotlights Jonathan Jacob Meijer, a man from The Netherlands who has admitted to having 550 children around the world. In 2023, he was banned from donating sperm to new families.
The third episode suggests that Meijer was involved with a Facebook group, "Kenya Sperm Donors," made up of men who traveled the world to donate to fertility clinics. Gordy is an admin of this group.
It's unclear what motivated the men to donate repeatedly around the world, although the families who used Meijer as a donor suggest in the docuseries that they're driven by ego rather than profit or fame.
In the 2021 Vice documentary "36 Kids & Counting: The DIY Sperm Donor," he said: "Women want to have kids and I'm obviously not using my sperm so I mean… I figure I can help them out."
Fast forward three years, and Gordy was paired up with a German woman named Ani on "90 Day Fiancé." He was open with her about being a sperm donor and claimed that he had fathered over 70 children.
Gordy was criticized online after the third episode of the reality series aired, because he kept rearranging his genitals while on a date with Ani, claiming this would prevent his sperm from overheating.
"Sitting down too much kills your sperm. So I try to adjust them so they're not like getting overheated," he said. The couple broke up at the end of the series.
Kyle Gordy's social media accounts show him traveling the world
According to his Facebook and Instagram accounts, Gordy continued to travel the world after his appearance on "90 Day Fiancé."
This year, he has posted photos from Singapore, Japan, the UK, Ireland, Australia, Switzerland, France, and Norway.
It's not clear whether the photos are from consecutive trips or if some are older photos from previous vacations.
Gordy also runs a website, Be Pregnant Now, where he offers fertility advice to couples who are trying to have a baby.
"I live in Los Angeles and I have been donating for a few years and have had multiple pregnancies. I have helped create many happy families," the website reads.
It adds: "My fertility has increased since I started donating. This large increase in fertility has allowed me to help get many women pregnant; my years of being a sperm donor attribute to this success. I live a very strict lifestyle and avoid any factors that may harm my fertility."
