Queer Eye Star Expecting Baby Via Surrogate

Tan France, star of Netflix’s Queer Eye, is expecting his first child with husband Rob.

Makeover king Tan France has announced that he is expecting his first child with husband Rob. The 37-year-old star of Netflix’s hit series Queer Eye took to Instagram to share the news.

“So happy to finally share that WE’RE HAVING A BABY!” was the caption on a picture of France cradling his own stomach with an ultrasound shot pasted over the top.

“No I’m not pregnant despite this VERY realistic pic. With the greatest gift/help of the most wonderful surrogate, Rob and I are lucky enough to be on our way to being parents, this Summer. Something we’ve wanted for SOOOOO many years.”

The couple first tied the knot in 2007 in London, and again in NYC when marriage equality was passed, with France making no secret of his desire to have children. In an interview with the Associated Press in 2018, he spoke of the importance of surrogacy in providing an option for gay couples wanting children.

“I feel privileged to be in a position where I get to talk about what I want to do. And if I want to have children, I want to talk about it and nobody can say it’s wrong and get away with it,” he said.

“[Surrogacy is] a legal option that is available to us, and I will use that.”

France’s husband, artist Rob France, also shared a brief announcement to his own Instagram page accompanied by a beautiful illustration of a baby.

“We have a beautiful little angel on the way and I didn’t think it was humanly possible to feel like this,” he wrote.

Congratulations to the couple on this exciting news!

I think surrogacy is such a great option for those who can’t conceive.
Congrats to them both. I’m glad that same sex parents are now able to have children.

For some couples, surrogacy is the only answer … no couple should be denied the chance to be parents if they can truly love and provide for a child ….

I’m not sure if I would or not. It’s something you would have to really sit down and think about quite carefully.
Congrats to them though

Congratulations to them both. My only issue with surrogacy is that it is not well regulated, and some very tricky issues can arise.

  Yes, depending on the type of surrogacy being used, problems similar to adoption can occur.

    sorry should have said problems similar as in the case of adoption (like attachment issues)
