Yes. Get used to it.

Not because of the body issues but because the time to have a kid and most want to stay with the kid. Bringing them on set is fairly new and only the A-listers can demand they be on set.

Secondly, it’s very difficult to get pregnant after the age of 30. An article in the late 80’s/early 90’s came out stating you were more likely to get hit by lightning than to get pregnant.

Given the two factors above, I don’t blame celebs from using surrogates.

But it probably is more prevalent among the rice who are NOT famous.

Personally, I find it very disturbing if an otherwise healthy & fertile woman who can physically have a baby without issue pays someone else to carry her fertilized egg. Renting other people’s bodies in the absence of a compelling health issue or physical inability to carry to term seems….highly problematic. Almost akin to buying someone’s organ for a transplant.

It feels like we are seeing a wave of surrogacy right now in Hollywood that is disproportionate to their actual numbers. Like, people are doing it because they can and there’s no real pushback.

The only people I know IRL using surrogates are gay male couples. And that’s a compelling reason, imho, because they can’t otherwise have a child.

So is the wave of surrogacy among the rich and famous due to need or convenience?

It’s all so sick. These people need help.

Why is this anyone else’s business? And “barren”! Such an antique term.

Because they’re lying and perpetuating disinformation to the masses. And they’re exploiting underclass women to carry their babies. It’s all disgusting.

Stop perpetuating the falsehood that a career is over if you have kids. Reese Witherspoon, Beyoncé, Rihanna, and countless others did just fine after kids. Even Britney Spears had kids during the height of her fame. You bounce back much quicker when you’re on your 20s.

Both of Naomi Campbell’s children came after 50. She managed to “bounce back “and she’s managing her career. She’s been on the cover of vogue since she certainly not slowing down. You don’t need to be in your 20s to bounce back.

Exactly The point is that you don’t need to be in your 20s to raise children. The ridiculous notion that you just lose so much energy …Everyone’s situation is different.

When you have a surrogate and nannies, what exactly are you bouncing back from? It doesn't change the fact that she is unlikely to meet her grandchildren. Sad.

Not the PP to whom you're responding, but:

Bouncing back when you're in your 50s is vastly more doable when you can afford personal trainers, nutritionists, private spa treatments, and nannies, nannies, nannies. Sleepless nights, night after night? Not likely. Skin glows, energy is good and figures are fab when you get plenty of sleep, specially concocted foods and an individually crafted workout routine done in a home gym out of public sight.

Yep, sure is easy to bounce back after 50!

I have no problem with her using a surrogate, but chrissy tiegen’s instagram is cracking me up right now. She has a newborn and a five-month-old, and usually new moms would be pretty busy. Chrissy though- she’s learning how to do cross stitch and investigating who of her hired help may have stitched a few squares on the project. In one video she pans over to her mother who is feeding her newborn. I cannot imagine living her lifestyle but she owns it!

That isn't a reason to refrain from being a parent. FYI: you are extremely judgmental.

Cheryl Tiegs a former supermodel used a surrogate in 2000 to deliver her (genetically hers) twins at 53. Back then, people were thrilled for her. The articles, reactions, etc were happy and favorable. I wonder if that would be the case today for even her.

Current day: She is still going strong, still modeling, she is producing, and an overall entrepreneur. Back then, people were thrilled for her. The articles, reactions, etc were happy and favorable. I wonder if that would be the case today for even her. Her sons are thriving and mid 20s.

My point is this practice has been around for decades. Only recently ha sit come under fire from ultra conservatives.
