Jimmy Fallon
Funny man, Jimmy Fallon, got serious talking about his
new baby girl, Winnie Rose. He and his wife used a surrogate to conceive their
daughter. "My wife and I had been trying a while to have a
baby," Fallon told. "We tried a bunch of things - so we had a
surrogate." Most of Fallon's fans didn't know he was expecting a baby
until his announcement.
Elizabeth
Banks hilariously played a pregnant mama in What to Expect When You're Expecting, but in real life
Banks never had the opportunity to carry a baby to term, explaining to magazine that "embryos wouldn't implant" in her
womb. Although she admitted that turning to a surrogate was "a big
leap," it was ultimately the right choice, which happily led to the birth
of son Felix. She also told that
"It helps that other moms had said that once they had their babies, they
forgot they were ever pregnant," she says. "So once my focus became
the baby and not the pregnancy, it was a very easy decision." On
November 14, 2012, Banks announced that she and husband Max Handelman welcomed another son, Magnus
Mitchell Handelman, into their family, also via gestational surrogate.
Giuliana and Bill
Rancic certainly made no secret
about their intentions to have a baby - their reality show, Giuliana & Bill, documented every excruciating step, including infertility, miscarriage and
the E! host's bout with breast cancer - yet their long-awaited dream finally came true when son Edward Duke Rancic was born
via gestational surrogate in Denver. "We are so in love with the little
guy already," Giuliana told adding that they were in the delivery room for
the birth.
Intensely
private couple Robert De Niro andGrace Hightower surprised the world when they announced they had welcomed a daughter, Helen Grace, via surrogate. De
Niro was 68 at the time of the birth, while Hightower was 56. The baby girl
joins big brother Eliot, now 14. This isn't the first time De Niro has
experienced childbirth via surrogate: In 1995 he welcomed twin sons, Julian and
Aaron, via surrogate with then-girlfriend Toukie Smith.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban welcomed a daughter born via
surrogate, Faith Margaret Kidman Urban,
though she is the couple's biological daughter. "No words can adequately
convey the incredible gratitude that we feel for everyone who was so supportive
throughout this process, in particular our gestational carrier," the
couple told. This is the second child for Urban and Kidman, who have a
daughter, Sunday Rose, 2. Kidman also
has two adopted children, Bella, 18, and Connor, 15, with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
Elton John and husband David Furnish welcomed
a baby boy, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John,
via surrogate. "We are overwhelmed with happiness and joy at this very
special moment," the couple said in a statement about the birth of the 7lb,
15 oz. little one.
Neil Patrick Harris and his partner, David Burtka, welcomed their first children - a
boy and a girl via surrogate! The How I Met Your Mother star told fans of twins Gideon Scott and Harper Grace's arrival on
Twitter. "All of us are happy, healthy, tired and a little pukey. They cry
a lot. I thought it was just a long bit that they were doing. I keep
saying, 'Annnnd, scene!'... but nothing happens."
In
June 2009, Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker and her actor-husband Matthew Broderick added twin girls to their family via
surrogate. The celeb couple, along with biological son James Wilkie, are pictured here with Marion Loretta Elwell andTabitha Hodge Broderick.
Latino bon-bon shaker Ricky Martin traded in
"livin' la vida loca" for an out-of-the-spotlight single-parenting
role when his two sons, Matteo and Valentino, were born in early August 2008 via
surrogate.
Camille Grammer used a surrogate to conceive daughter Mason, born in 2001, and son Jude, born in 2004, with then-husband Kelsey Grammer. Doctors advised the Real Housewives of
Beverly Hills star to avoid getting pregnant due to the form of
irritable bowel syndrome she suffers from, and the serious health risks it
could pose.
