Probably a 20-something who just made $500k.

Kids need mothers. Hopefully, she will be involved in some way.

In the CNN clip he talked about a surrogate by name. Not sure if it was a donor egg or her egg.

Congrats to AC!

But you cared enough to open the thread and comment 3 pages in, lol.

I saw the clip of his announcement and you could tell he was so overjoyed and emotional. He mentioned that he never dreamed when he was gay kid that we would be a father.

He mentioned that the surrogate has a family and several children and her husband was very supportive.

Yes, and it's his age.

This is lovely. Considering how effed up his own mother's childhood was, she raised a good human being. I see him on a regular basis interacting with people in service industries, and he's unfailingly gracious even when I'm sure he'd just as soon be left alone.

I’ve always liked him. Truly.

But I wonder why he waited so long. He’s 52. Does he have a younger partner? Who will raise this kid if he dies? Who will be this kid’s family after he’s gone?

I know he has money and can buy help. But why didn’t he do this 10 years ago? Or even 5 years ago?

I know plenty of older men have kids. But they typically have younger partners. Does he? I hope so.

I was wondering the same thing - I never understand why celebrities wait so long - I wouldn’t have made much of a difference to his career if he did it 10 years ago. Did he just wake up at 50 and realize his mortality?

He thanked the surrogate and her family on air. It was very sweet.

Yes, the world was very different a million years ago when he was a kid.

But this technology has been available to and quite popular among gay men for a long time now. So, why did he wait so long? Weird.

It’s so biologically unfair that men can have kids at any age they want, and women have to base their entire youths around trying to have them all by age 30 something.

Beautiful baby! Looks like an old soul.
