Nascar's star's wife, Kyle Busch, was “crying” after Donald Trump signed an executive order that sought to make in vitro fertilization (IVF) more accessible.
The president, who referred strangely as the “father of fertilization” in the campaign, signed the order on Tuesday.
The EO assigns the assistant to the president of the domestic policy to seek recommendations on how to make the IVF “drastically more affordable.”
For Samantha Busch, who has been married to Nascar champion for 14 years, the order hit near home.
Samantha and her husband run the Bundle of Joy's background, which tries to help families eliminate financial burdens to obtain fertility treatments.
The beneficial organization gives monetary awards to couples who require fertility treatments to welcome their own son to the world. To date, they have granted 144 subsidies for a total of almost $ 2 million and helped 100 babies born.

“I am in tears writing this: Today is monumental for the families who fight with infertility,” Samantha wrote along with a crying video of her discussing the order on Instagram.
Thanks to President Trump for signing an executive order to expand access to IVF, so it is more affordable for American families!
'After years of fighting, advocating and sharing my IVF trip, seeing this executive order signed to protect and make fertility treatments more affordable is overwhelming.
'Over the years at the Bundle of Joy Fund, we have read innumerable essays of people who have had to mortgage their homes, work multiple jobs and debt, just have the opportunity to have a baby. With the average cost of IVF to $ 20,000 per cycle and without guarantee of success, the financial burden has been devastating. And with 1 in 6 couples who face infertility, access to attention should not be a privilege, it is a necessity.
'Today is a step forward. Finally, families will have the coverage they deserve rightly. Thanks again, Mr. President.
Samantha and Kyle have been open about their own emotional roller coaster of an IVF trip. They welcomed their son Brexton through the IVF in 2015, but suffered more struggles while trying for their second son. The couple finally shared that their daughter Lennix Key was born through substitute in May 2022.
Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the order will “aggressively” pocket costs for the procedure that the costs generally cost between $ 12,000 and $ 25,000 per cycle, according to the text of the order.
'Promises made. Promises maintained: President Trump has just signed an executive order to expand access to IVF! Leavitt wrote in X.

“The order directs policy recommendations to protect access to IVF and aggressively reduce the pocket costs and health plan for such treatments,” he said.
The order gives a three -month deadline for recommendations to be made.
He arrived a few days after Trump arrived at the track at Nascar's Daytona 500, where Kyle Busch did not end. He marked a second consecutive weekend of high profile appearances in sporting events after the Super Bowl Lix.
The president's caravan led directly to the track in Florida and traveled at a short distance in front of Nascar fans in the stands before he entered a safe area. He later returned to the track, with his caravan doing two laps before the race began, where he spoke with the pilots on the radio.
While Trump's limousine marked the track, he told the drivers: 'This is their favorite president. I am a great admirer, a great admirer of you. How you do this, I don't know.
'But I just want you to be safe. You are talented people and they are great people and great Americans. Have a good day, have fun and I will see you later.
