He’s sad he couldn’t give his ex a baby

Please can someone tell me if I’m being unfair or wrong to think this way.
me and my partner have been together 3 years and we are expecting our first child together.
I have two children from previous relationships.
He tried to have baby with his ex but had many failed IVF attempts.
we have gone through ivf for this pregnancy. I’ve never had fertility problems.
we had a conversation about how his ex would feel that we are pregnant, he replied that he would be hurt if she was pregnant because he couldn’t give her that.
is that hun saying he wished he had a baby with her? Or just because of what they went through. I am feeling really upset about it

I think that sounds very normal and he sounds very empathetic. He isn’t saying that he wants to go have a child with her now but acknowledging that there was a time when things were good with them and they went through a lot with repeated ivf. Just because people break up doesn’t mean the other person is horrible or the relationship was always bad. They probably had many good times together.
