On Tuesday, January 20, Meghan Trainor turned to Instagram to announce an exciting and very unexpected update about her family. She revealed that she and her husband, Daryl Sabara, had welcomed their third child via surrogate. She included a tearful photo of herself holding her new daughter alongside a smiling Sabara.
The child, a little girl named Mikey Moon Trainor, was born on January 28.
“Our baby girl Mikey Moon Trainor, has finally made it to the world thanks to our incredible, superwoman surrogate. We are forever grateful to all the doctors, nurses, teams who made this dream possible,” Trainor began in the caption of the post.
“We had endless conversations with our doctors in this journey and this was the safest way for us to be able to continue growing our family. We are over the moon in love with this precious girl,” she continued.
Now, in a new interview, Trainor is going into more detail about her and Sabara’s decision regarding surrogacy.
"It wasn’t our first choice, but we had endless conversations with our doctors on this journey, and this was the safest way for us to be able to continue growing our family," Trainor said. "We are forever grateful for that option."
Trainor shares two other children with Sabara, both of whom she gave birth to. They include 4-year-old Riley and 2-year-old Barry. Trainor noted that it was Riley and Barry who chose their new little sister’s middle name.
While surrogacy may not be for everyone, Trainor wants people to know that it’s “just another beautiful way to build a family.” She also emphasized that it’s “Not something to whisper about or judge. It’s rooted in trust, science, love, and teamwork.”
