“We were never in a relationship”: Woman defends her decision to have a child with her best friend

Today, families are different and that is to be celebrated, because children can have a broad criterion about life and accept people without judging them, as it should be. However, among all that diversity we had never heard of a couple of friends who decided to share the raising of a child.

For some, the idea may sound quite far-fetched, but for Agustina Kämpfer and her friend Chef Agustín Badaracco it was the best decision they could have made, as they both chose to have a baby so as not to lose the opportunity to become parents.

Agustina and Chef wanted to be parents even if they weren’t a couple

In 2017, the Argentine journalist Agustina Kämpfer announced that she was expecting her first child and all her acquaintances and family were too surprised, because she did not have a partner. When everyone started questioning her about who the baby’s father was, she revealed that he was her best friend, Chef Agustín Badaracco.

They both longed to become parents, but neither had a partner, until after talking several times they came to the conclusion that it was best for both of them to form their own family.

We were half boyfriends with Agustín in adolescence, but I consider him more my friend than my boyfriend because he was fleeting and innocent. Through all these years, we were always in contact, he lives in Mexico and we both had several partners. Even so, we counted and said everything. We have much in common. The reunion was at the end of January when I returned from India and he came to visit his family. It was magical and unexpected because we talked about having a very mature child, but without believing that it was going to happen so quickly.

Your child was born by the natural method

Despite the fact that Agustina kept the way in which her baby was conceived a secret, after a while they revealed that it was not by artificial insemination as everyone believed, on the contrary, they did everything in the natural way.

It was by natural conception, driven by the desire that we both had to have a child. We were never a couple, we are never going to be a couple. With Agustín we were only together to have a child, it was one.

They have a beautiful co-parenting

Currently, the two share the upbringing of the beautiful baby they named Juan and consider themselves a family like any other.

We are a family of two friends who decided to have a child together, with all this love. I don’t need Agus to be the man I hope for in life, nor do I need the woman he wants, so we only demand that we be the best parents in the world.

This is a family formed with love and a lot of decision.
