Meghan Trainor opens up about her decision to use surrogate for her third child
Meghan Trainor shared why she and her husband decided to welcome her third child through surrogacy.
Speaking with PEOPLE Magazine, the 32-year-old singer opened up that using a surrogate to welcome Mikey Moon wasn't their first choice.
"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," she said. "We are forever grateful for that option."
She went on to stress that surrogacy is another "beautiful way to build a family."
"I want people to know that surrogacy is just another beautiful way to build a family. It’s not something to whisper about or judge. It’s rooted in trust, science, love, and teamwork," the Me Too singer noted. "Every family’s journey looks different, and all of them are extremely valid."
Trainor expressed her gratitude to their "selfless" surrogate, whom she did not identify.
"Our surrogate is one of the most selfless, strong, and loving people I’ve ever met. We felt so connected throughout the entire journey, and I’ll always be grateful for the care and love she showed our daughter," she said.
"She gave us the greatest gift of our lives. She graciously answered our many check-in texts to make sure she was doing okay," she continued.
Trainor and her husband, Daryl Sabara, welcomed their baby girl on Jan. 18. They are also parents to Riley, whom they welcomed in 2021, and Barry, whom they welcomed in 2023.
