Sofia Franklyn Opens Up About Family Plans and Past Decisions

Sofia Franklyn, the former Call Her Daddy podcast co-host and author of the upcoming memoir Daddy Issues, recently shared her hopes to start a family with her husband John Messamore. Franklyn, 34, discussed these plans during an appearance on The Skinny Confidential podcast, revealing that her past decision to have an abortion occasionally brings feelings of guilt as she and Messamore plan for children.

In an excerpt from her memoir, published by Vanity Fair, Franklyn recalled the emotional process and how it often resurfaces. She described the experience of writing about it as both therapeutic and challenging, stating, “It was both of those things.”

Reflecting on the past, Franklyn noted her abortion occurred about three years after her departure from Call Her Daddy. At the time, she was focused on sustaining her new podcast, Sofia with an F. She recounted an episode in Los Angeles when she visited Planned Parenthood for the procedure before heading to Italy for a birthday trip with family.

In August, Franklyn and Messamore celebrated their marriage with a three-day event at Lake Como, Italy. The celebration included various activities: an outdoor welcome dinner, pasta making, and wine tasting. The festivities concluded with a wedding at Villa Pizzo.

Franklyn announced her marriage on Instagram, marking the occasion with a simple caption of her wedding date, “8.2.26 🦢.”
