Kenny Ethan Jones has spoken about donating eggs to help his sister, Kizzy Jones, have a baby after years of infertility, and later shared the moment he first held his newborn nephew.
In a PEOPLE interview, Jones said he offered to donate after Kizzy mentioned she was looking into egg donors. “When [Kizzy] mentioned she was looking into egg donors, I knew what I had to do,” he said. “It felt more like a calling than a choice.”
Kizzy, who is in her forties, had been trying to have a successful pregnancy for four years and underwent surgery to remove fibroids. She also endured two miscarriages before pursuing donor eggs and IVF.
Doctors tested Jones and found he was a viable egg donor despite having been on testosterone for a long time. For the two-week egg retrieval process, he cut his HRT dose down to 25% and stopped his blocker, taking four medications daily with multiple injections into his stomach. Jones documented parts of the process in a TikTok video about donating eggs to his sister.
Jones said the medications caused him to start menstruating again, describing the emotional impact: “It hit me in waves,” and later adding: “Knowing how happy Kizzy could be if it all worked out was enough to make me put on my big boy pants and get on with it.”
How the IVF journey unfolded
Clinicians retrieved 19 eggs, 13 were viable, and six became embryos. Kizzy became pregnant on her first round of IVF and welcomed her child in December 2025, with Jones describing the period from his offer to the birth as “eighteen challenging months”.
Jones later posted the emotional moment he first held his nephew in a TikTok video about meeting his nephew. Reflecting on meeting the baby, he said: “He felt like Kizzy’s. I think that says everything about how I see the world. Who you are isn’t defined by biology alone, and neither is being a parent.”
Kenny Ethan Jones on care and respect
Jones is a British trans activist, speaker and content creator known for public education about trans lives and healthcare. He has worked in modelling and brand campaigns, and often discusses masculinity, dysphoria, and navigating healthcare systems as a trans man.
He said supportive care made a difference during the process: “The doctor overseeing my procedure handled everything with real care,” and “My identity has been completely respected no matter what room I’ve walked into or who I’ve spoken to.”
