35+ Celebrities We Didn’t Know Have Had Children Through Surrogacy
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
We’ll kick things off with Australian actress Nicole Kidman. The star has welcomed children into her life using various different methods. First, she adopted daughter Isabella and son Connor with husband Tom Cruise. Then, she gave birth to a daughter with her husband, Keith Urban.
Nicole and country star Keith then decided to use a surrogate for their second daughter, Faith. When she arrived, the couple said, “No words can adequately convey the incredible gratitude that we feel for […] in particular our gestational carrier.”
Grimes and Elon Musk
There aren’t many photos of this elusive family. And, their relationship status seems to change quite regularly. Canadian singer Grimes started dating billionaire Elon Musk in 2018. They welcomed their unusually-named son, X Æ A-12, in 2020. For this pregnancy, Grimes carried her son, but she experienced some health issues.
Then, in 2021, the couple welcomed a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk through surrogacy. Since then, the couple has split. However, Grimes still refers to Elon as her “best friend” and the love of her life.
Lucy Liu
There are several celebrities on our list that decided to have children by themselves. These stars used a surrogate rather than waiting to be in a relationship before starting a family. In actress Lucy Liu’s case, her demanding schedule also meant she couldn’t spend time being pregnant.
She said, “I was working and I didn’t know when I was going to be able to stop.” Lucy Liu welcomed son Rockwell in 2015. Since becoming a mom, she’s been involved in celebrating non-traditional families.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
Actress and model Priyanka Chopra married American singer and actor Nick Jonas back in 2018. The media went wild for the star’s nuptials, especially their stunning Indian wedding. In 2022, the celebs started their family by using a surrogate.
Priyanka and Nick’s daughter, Malti Marie, was born in 2022. The couple said, “We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family.”
There are lots of reasons that a person or a couple might not be able to get pregnant the traditional way. Thankfully, surrogacy is now an alternative option for having a child. The celebrities on this list have used a surrogate to create or expand their families. While surrogacy used to be a fairly secretive practice, now many well-known names are openly speaking about their experiences. Take a look at these celebrities that we didn’t know have had kids through surrogacy.
