“It’s been a big relief to share the heartache and challenges of our journey to parenthood, and we really hope to inspire others to keep going when things get tough.”
“It’s time to open up the conversation about fertility, pregnancy loss and the struggles that so many people face on what can be a very difficult and lonely road to creating a family.”
“We’re deeply appreciative of the support! Thank you.”
The couple told followers they were expecting a baby girl earlier this week, and thanked the wonders of science for making it possible.
“Following medical advice, gestational surrogacy abroad became our only viable option for a biological child & we’re so thankful for the wonders of modern medicine & reproductive science,” she wrote.
“We’re incredibly grateful to the team of doctors, embryologists, nurses, pregnancy coordinators, my GP & everyone involved in giving us the greatest gift of all by making our family dream come true, and of course our amazing surrogate for keeping our little daughter healthy and safe.”
