FROM KHLOE KARDASHIAN TO AMBER HEARD, STARS WHO USED SURROGATE TO HAVE CHILDREN
Surrogacy seems to have become a popular practice for celebrities including Cristiano Ronaldo, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Amber Heard.
A natural birth and carrying your own child are often not an option for many people. And many celebrities who wanted to have children chose surrogacy as a surrogate.
We’ve compiled a list of well-known celebrities who have expanded their families through surrogacy…
TRISTAN THOMPSON AND KHLOE KARDASHIAN
Although Khloe and Tristan are separated, they are expecting their second child. Khloe has repeatedly expressed the desire to have a large family. Baby #2 was conceived by surrogate and born last November, unlike True, the former first couple’s child, so he or she (rumored to be a boy) will be here soon.
KAYE WEST AND KANYE KARDASHIAN
Given that Kim employed surrogates for two of her four children, it’s very possible that Khloe followed in her older sister’s footsteps.
North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm were born to Kim and Kanye in 2013, 2015 and 2019 respectively. Chicago and Psalm, the two youngest, were also born to surrogate mothers.
Kim struggled with placenta accreta during the birth of her first two children. She had received medical advice warning her against having children of her own.

TOUKIE SMITH AND ROBERT DE NIRO
From 1985 to 1996, Robert De Niro and Toukie Smith were in a committed relationship. In 1995, they gave birth to twin sons, Julian Henry and Aaron Kendrick, via surrogacy.
But even before the children were born, the parents had decided to separate. So they raised their children through co-parenting. The siblings led quiet lives as children and teenagers, avoiding media attention.
KYLIE LIU
Lucy Liu has dedicated her career to working with children on behalf of UNICEF. In 2013, she publicly expressed her desire to become a mother, and two years later her dream came true!
Rockwell Lloyd Liu, Lucy’s son, was delivered through surrogacy in 2015. Lucy explained that she made her decision because she was working at the time. The happy mum, who was once quite secretive, frequently posts pictures of herself and her son on social media, calling it a “wonderful experience” being a mom.
BETH HEARD
Amber Heard announced on Instagram that she would give birth in July 2021. On April 8, the 36-year-old actress announced that she had discreetly welcomed her daughter, whom she had christened Oonagh Paige. She described it as “the beginning of the rest of my life.”
Amber occasionally posts pictures of her child on social media, referring to her as “the boss.” Amber is another proud and content mom, just like Lucy.
THEODORE RONALD
Three of Cristiano Ronaldo’s five children were born to a surrogate mother, making him the father of five children.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., Cristiano’s eldest son, was born via surrogate and is currently 12 years old. Ronaldo Jr., who started playing football at a young age, currently represents Manchester United U12 side.
In addition, the soccer star has twins from another surrogate who were born in June 2017. In November 2017 and December 2022, respectively, Cristiano and Georgina Rodriguez welcomed their second children.
Nick Jones and Priya Chopra
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ daughter was due to be born in April, but she actually arrived on January 16, 2022 via surrogate.
When asked why they chose surrogacy, the couple apologized by saying they had “busy schedules” and were unable to conceive. Pregnancy at 39 doesn’t get “easier”, especially for Priyanka.
