We invite you to read about Russian and foreign celebrities for whom other women carried children.
Elton John
Elton John is openly gay. In 1993, he met his future partner David Furnish, and more than ten years later, when same-sex marriage was legalized in Great Britain by the decision of Queen Elizabeth II, they got married. In 2010, they finally became parents - then a surrogate mother from California gave birth to a son for them, who received the magnificent name Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. Three years later, their second son, Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, was born in the same way.Robert DeNiro
Robert De Niro is the father of six children. In all likelihood, the cheerful Italian simply could not settle for less. De Niro first turned to the services of a surrogate mother in 1995 - he and his then-wife, model Tuki Smith, became the parents of twins. In 1998, his next wife, flight attendant Grace Hightower, independently gave birth to the actor’s son Elliot, but the next baby for the couple was carried by a surrogate mother. A girl named Helen was born in 2011. 
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker married fellow actor Matthew Broderick in 1997, and in 2002 gave birth to his son, James Wilkie. A few years later, the couple wanted to relive the experience of parenthood again, but Sarah Jessica was no longer able to get pregnant. Sarah Jessica Parker decided not to risk her health, and since the family’s finances allowed, she turned to the services of a surrogate mother. So two twins were born - Marion and Tabitha. 
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman, married to Tom Cruise, raised two adopted children - son Connor and daughter Isabella (the editors of the site note that Isabella was not very lucky with her appearance, but she managed to turn a flaw into an advantage and became a stylist). After her divorce from Cruise, Nicole Kidman remarried and gave birth to a daughter, Sunday Rose. But her next attempts to get pregnant were unsuccessful, and the fourth baby for Kidman and her husband, musician Keith Urban, was carried by a surrogate mother. The girl born was named Faith Margaret. 
Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson became a father three times - and his first two children were born to his wife, former nurse Debbie Rowe. After divorcing her, the king of the pop scene decided not to stop there and in 2001 turned to the services of a surrogate mother. Her name was not disclosed. In 2002, Jackson's eldest children, Prince and Paris, had a younger brother. The boy was named Prince Michael II. The editors of the site note that the most important criterion when choosing a surrogate mother was her level of intelligence - each of the applicants had to pass a tricky IQ test. 
Cristiano Ronaldo
One of the best football players in history, Cristiano Ronaldo has already become a father three times by 2017, and says that he does not intend to stop there. In 2010, an anonymous surrogate mother gave birth to a boy who was named Cristiano Jr. And at the beginning of the summer of 2017, Ronaldo became a father for the second and third time - a certain woman carried twins for him. It is noteworthy that for many years, while Ronaldo was dating supermodel Irina Shayk, there was no talk of a serious relationship between them, and as soon as they broke up, Shayk became pregnant a short time later from a new partner, Bradley Cooper. 
Alena Apina
The star of the 90s pop scene Alena Apina became one of the first famous women in Russia who used the services of a surrogate mother to give birth to a child. After years of trying to get pregnant on her own, Alena Apina decided to take a different path. In December 2001, her daughter Ksenia was born. At that time, Apina was still married to media manager Alexander Iratov, but in 2016 the singer officially announced that she was getting a divorce. 
Philip Kirkorov
Philip Kirkorov became the father of two children in 2011 and 2012 - daughter Alla-Victoria and son Martin were born with an interval of eight months. The proud father himself said that he gave his daughter such an unusual name in honor of his first wife Alla Pugacheva and his mother Victoria. Nothing is reported about who became the mother of Kirkorov’s children. Judging by the interval in which the children were born, these were different women, but nothing more is known for certain. In addition, due to the extraordinary similarity of Kirkorov’s children with the son of his ward singer Anastasia Stotskaya, it was said that she could become the mother of one of his children. However, these rumors were not confirmed. 
Alla Pugacheva
The children of Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin were born in 2013 in a Russian clinic. Twelve years earlier, Pugacheva decided to freeze several eggs in case she wanted to return to motherhood after forty years (the diva gave birth to Kristina Orbakaite in 1971). Pugacheva’s family does not name the surrogate mother, so there is a lot of speculation on this topic on the Internet. Boris Korchevnikov’s TV show reported that this mother could be Elena Shirinina, however, both she and Alla Borisovna indignantly rejected this version, preferring to keep the woman incognito. 
Olga Slutsker
The athlete and owner of a chain of fitness clubs, Olga Slutsker, could not get pregnant on her own for a long time and eventually decided to farm out this important matter to surrogate mothers. Slutsker found women who agreed to carry her pregnancy to term in the United States. This is how Olga’s two children were born - a son and a daughter. Slutsker gave birth to children in her marriage to businessman and politician Vladimir Slutsker. In 2009, the couple divorced, and a year later the court sided with the father and placed the children under his guardianship. 
Russian celebrities are generally very child-loving. Among the families of domestic stars there are many with many children. The editors of the site suggest reading about star families that raise three or more offspring.

Today, surrogacy has ceased to be something out of science fiction. More and more people who cannot have a child naturally are finding the joy of motherhood and fatherhood with the help of the latest medical technologies. As for the stars, for them surrogacy today is the same trend as adoption.
Michael Jackson
One of the first stars to resort to the services of a surrogate mother was the singer - this is how his third child, Prince Michael II, was born. This happened in 2002, after Jackson's divorce from his second wife Debbie Rowe. The name of the woman who carried the child to the King of Pop was not disclosed; it is only known that the main criterion for Jackson was not the health of the applicant (although this, of course, was taken into account) and not nationality, but the presence of extraordinary intelligence. Apparently, the main analysis for the surrogate mother was not medical indicators, but an IQ test.
There is a scandalous story connected with this child of Jackson - shortly after the birth, Michael Prince II almost died due to the fault of... his own father. While showing the child to the fans, Jackson staggered and almost dropped him, only at the last moment the singer managed to hold on to his offspring. Now his mother, Katherine Jackson, has received custody of him, as well as other children of the King of Pop.
Nicole Kidman
Those whose motherhood was suffered not only in the physical, but also in the moral sense of the word, are the stars of “Moulin Rouge” and “The Stepford Wives”, actresses.
At first, while married to Tom Cruise, she was never able to get pregnant, so the couple were forced to adopt two children - Isabella Jane and Connor Anthony. Having married musician Keith Urban, Kidman unexpectedly gave birth to a daughter, Sunday Rose, to everyone - and especially to herself. Inspired by their success, Keith and Nicole began working on the birth of their second child, but all their efforts, including the help of medical specialists, were in vain. And the couple had to resort to the help of a surrogate mother, who on December 28, 2010 gave birth to their daughter, named Faith (translated as “Faith”) Margaret Kidman Urban. After her birth, the actress made a statement to the press in which she said that she was grateful to everyone who helped her during this period for the joy and happiness that she had the opportunity to experience, but especially to the surrogate mother.
Elton John
For obvious reasons, his marriage partner David Furnish also used the services of a surrogate mother. According to the spouses, who have been living together for a long time, all they needed to be completely happy was a child. During a visit to Ukraine in 2009, the singer even wanted to adopt an HIV-infected boy, Leva from Makeyevka, but the guardianship authorities opposed this. Returning home, John and Furnish turned to the services of a surrogate mother, who in one of the clinics in California gave birth to their boy, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. The couple were present at the birth and claim that the boy looks like both of them. “He inherited Elton’s nose,” Furnish says in an interview, “and took his hands from me.”
Ricky Martin
With the help of a surrogate mother, he also received children - twin boys Matteo and Valentin - and another gay man, the famous. In his book “I,” the pop singer says that he always wanted to have offspring, but the thought of having to start a family and even just living together under the same roof with a woman, to put it mildly, did not delight him. Surrogacy in such cases is an ideal option, which is why Martin decided to resort to it.
The name of the woman who carried them is kept secret - according to rumors, it was the singer’s cousin. Like many single mothers, this single father justifies raising a child in a single-parent family like this: “Many people believe that without a mother, children grow up incomplete. But, in my opinion, the main thing is that children grow up in love, and where do they get it from - dads, moms or grandmothers – it doesn’t matter.” As for love and care, Martin’s father seemed to be exemplary: while the children were very small, he himself fed, bathed and swaddled them. Now that they are a little older, he spends all his free time with them.
The singer intends to be honest with children regarding his sexual orientation. “I don’t want to live a lie with them,” says Martin, “and I want to raise them so that they don’t have any prejudices and are proud of their gay father.” By the way, the singer is not going to stop with twins - soon he is going to adopt one or even several children.
Sharon Stone
The second son, Laird Vonn, who had long been considered adopted, was also born with the help of a surrogate mother. His birth is surrounded by the strictest secrecy: neither the name of the woman from Texas who gave birth to him in May 2005 is known, nor who Stone chose as a sperm donor. But the fact remains: the actress subsequently adopted not someone else’s child, but her own son.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Twin girls - Marion and Tabitha - for the star of the series "Sex and the City" and her husband Matthew Broderick were carried and given birth to by 27-year-old American Michelle Ross from Ohio. It soon became clear that publishing the name and place of residence of the surrogate mother was a big mistake - journalists literally did not give Michelle access for several months, hoping to find out some details about both herself and the babies. And only the happiness that the actress experienced from communicating with children overshadowed all the troubles associated with press harassment. When asked why the actress and her husband resorted to this particular method of finding heirs, she replies that it seemed to them “the most successful.”
The family of Sarah Jessica and Matthew also has an eldest son, James Wilkie, whom the actress gave birth to herself. However, in all interviews, Sarah Jessica states that she is not going to stop at three children, intending to either adopt or give birth to several more with the help of a surrogate mother.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Despite his love relationship with a Russian model, the Real Madrid star, one of the highest paid football players, used a surrogacy program to give birth to a child - in June 2010, his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. was born.
True, evil tongues claim that the boy was born after one-time sex with an American waitress, who subsequently informed the midfielder about her interesting position through his agent. Growing up in a religious family, Ronaldo, after taking a paternity test and receiving a positive result, decided to take the baby for himself. On the other hand, according to the English weekly Sun, a surrogate mother for the football player’s child was found in a specialized Florida clinic, and the process itself cost him 12 million euros. True, why Ronaldo needed such an exotic method, on whom the first beauties from all over the world hang themselves, is not clear; apparently, the rich really do have their own quirks.
Ronaldo turned out to be an exemplary father who - of course, in his free time from football - takes care of the child himself, even changing his diapers, although he admits that this is not his favorite activity. When Ronaldo is busy, the child is looked after by his mother and sisters.
The footballer admits that the appearance of his son changed him - made him more serious and responsible. Ronaldo also assures that he will do everything to ensure that his son does not need anything, and dreams that the boy will follow in his footsteps.
Philip Kirkorov
The birth of Philip Kirkorov's daughter in November last year caused a lot of noise. The girl was born in Miami, and the first three months of her life were accompanied by unprecedented measures of secrecy. No matter how hard the journalists tried, they were unable to take photographs of the singer’s daughter or find out who the surrogate mother was. After the joke of the former Ukrainian TV presenter and now producer Alexey Diveev-Tserkovny, who told the press that the winner of the Miss Ukraine-Universe contest gave birth to a child to Philip Bedrosovich, an international scandal almost broke out. The fact is that journalists rushed to figure out who it could be, and the candidate who was chosen, Lyudmila Bikmulina (allegedly she was the only one seen pregnant at that time), stated that she had nothing to do with Kirkorov’s daughter, and threatened to file a lawsuit. Diveev-Tserkovny and all journalists en masse to court.
Now that Philip Bedrosovich has moved Alla-Victoria to his house near Moscow, the passions have somehow subsided. Although the singer and his daughter still appear in the news, as was the case, for example, recently, when the media reported that priests refused to baptize a girl - either because of the double name uncharacteristic for Orthodoxy, or because she was born unnatural - in the opinion of the church! – by way. True, the priests themselves soon refuted this message, saying that they did not have the right to refuse a child the sacrament of baptism.
Rumor has it that his ex-wife, Alla Pugacheva, is also going to resort to Kirkorov’s method, who only needs a child to be completely happy with her current husband, Maxim Galkin.
Valery Leontyev
Valery Leontyev always dreamed of an heir; at one time he even intended to adopt a boy from an orphanage, but then abandoned this idea, deciding that the child should still be his own. The press often wrote that the famous singer had long been looking for a woman who could become a surrogate mother for his unborn child. But Valery Yakovlevich was in no hurry to make a final decision, fearing that the candidate, turning out to be morally unscrupulous, could subsequently sue him and lay claim to his property.
Obviously, the desire to have a child still prevailed, because in November 2010 a message appeared in the media that a surrogate mother, Spanish by nationality, gave birth to a daughter for the singer. Leontyev named her Ekaterina - in honor of his mother - and officially registered her in Moscow.
Alena Apina
The star of the 90s, singer Alena Apina, turned to a surrogate mother for help after several unsuccessful attempts to first get pregnant and then carry a child to term. “I understood,” the singer admits in an interview, “that a real marriage cannot be just the two of us, and I really wanted a child.”
The ordeal - in the form of medical consultations and painful medical procedures - continued for ten years. Desperate, Apina and her husband, producer Alexander Iratov, decided on surrogacy - so, in 2001, their daughter Ksyusha was born (the singer named the girl in honor of the song about the girl Ksyusha in a “plush skirt” that brought her fame), which the couple they just love it. The surrogate mother for the girl was a mother of two children from the province, who was in a difficult financial situation, thus both parties solved their pressing problems. After the birth of Ksyusha, Alena began to dream of a son, whom she planned to carry and give birth to herself, but so far, apparently, nothing has worked out for her. Who knows, perhaps the couple will again turn to a surrogate mother for help.
Taisiya Kondratieva
Each of these celebrities came to the decision to turn to a surrogate mother for different reasons. Some could not or did not want to give birth to children due to their age, some were prevented from becoming a mother by health problems, and others simply wanted to experience the happiness of fatherhood at all costs. Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin
They met in 2001 at the Slavic Bazaar in Vitebsk, got married in 2011, and two years later Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin became parents. At that time, the singer was 64 years old (Alla Borisovna is 27 years older than her husband), so no one even asked questions about the “origin” of Lisa and Harry. And the couple didn’t hide it: yes, they turned to a surrogate mother, and yes, they don’t see anything wrong with that! It's time for classes in the morning ✍🏻 #alla #elizavetagalkina #garrigalkin Publication from Maxim Galkin | Official (@maxgalkinru) Jan 9, 2018 at 12:09 PST This happy birth did not happen right away. Alla froze her eggs 11 years ago. Moreover, she told me about this only after the wedding, 2 years ago. Until then, she kept it a secret from me. That is, once upon a time she approached this responsibly,
Told by Maxim Galkin in the program “Live with Boris Korchevnikov” on the TV channel “Russia 1”. Now twins Lisa and Harry are 4.5 years old. Let us remind you that the famous showman became a father for the first time, and the Prima Donna has a daughter, 46-year-old Kristina Orbakaite.
The famous singer is famous for his shows all over the world. The public loves Philip Bedrosovich for his perfectionism and creative approach to everything. For example, in 2011, Kirkorov announced the birth of his daughter to the whole country during the Golden Gramophone music ceremony! Can you imagine how much noise the King of Pop made with his statement? Journalists immediately began looking for the girl’s mother. Someone assured that Alla Victoria was born to the singer by his bosom friend from school days, someone was of the opinion that Kirkorov had an affair with a famous model, and she decided to shift the responsibilities of caring for the baby onto Philip’s powerful shoulders. The second part of the series “Looking for Mom” began in mid-2012, when Kirkorov’s son Martin was born.
Philip Kirkorov gave an official comment about who the mother of his children was only in December 2017. In an interview with the “New Russian Sensations” program on the NTV channel, the newly-made father admitted that his heirs were given to him by a surrogate mother:
I’m not the first, I’m not the last in this life to make such a decision... Families who do not have the opportunity to become 100 percent happy (and 100 percent family happiness is when children’s laughter is nearby), they have been deciding this issue for a long time in our civilized world. And I am not, let’s say, a pioneer. It’s just, perhaps, in our country someone who openly spoke about it, wasn’t shy, didn’t hide behind various legends about supermodels who gave birth to your child and then disappeared somewhere, leaving the child in your care. I am not a supporter of lies. It’s easier to always tell the truth, because you will never lie. Then someday you will need to tell your children something. And you will have to lie somehow. For what?
Two years ago, the Internet was bursting with reports that Sergei Lazarev had a child. Even videos of Sergei and his supposedly grown-up heir appeared on the Internet. Apparently, tired of speculation and constant ranting on this topic, at the end of December 2016, the famous singer made a statement on his Instagram:
I want to officially confirm that I have been truly happy for 2.5 years now, being a dad and raising my son. BUT I STRONGLY ASK everyone to respect the personal space of my family, me and my son and maintain our right to privacy.
Of course, such requests have little effect on journalists. Now they were interested in another question: who is the boy’s mother? There has been no official comment on this matter from the pope himself. But Lazarev’s colleague in the workshop spoke on this topic. During the show “Secret for a Million” on the NTV channel, Philip Kirkorov told presenter Lera Kudryavtseva that Lazarev used the services of surrogacy:
I found out that he had a son only when this happened. And also from a surrogate mother.
Friends! Today is New Year's Eve - a night of miracles and fulfillment of desires, a night of kindness and fun. From the Lazarev family we congratulate you all on the upcoming New Year 2018. May the Year of the Dog be successful for everyone. Let's take all the best memories from the outgoing 2017 and keep them in our memory. Thanks to everyone who was with me this year! Thank you to all the viewers who came to my show “The Best”, thank you for the sold-out crowd, for the applause and love. Thanks to all the listeners for the enthusiastic reviews and comments about the new songs and the New Album “At the Epicenter”. see you in 2018 at my concerts with the new show “N-Tour”. Thanks to my team, my staff, director Mikhail, the organizers, Sony Music, all radio and TV partners. And, of course, thanks to my family, and my beloved son Nikita. The time has come for me to show him to you) because he is already quite big and I am so proud of him and love him! I wish you all goodness, peace, health, may everything be safe in your families! I love you! Happy New Year! #Lazarevs #LazarevSergey #LazarevNikita #Papaisyn Publication from Sergey Lazarev (@lazarevsergey) Dec 31, 2017 at 6:14 PST On the eve of the new year, 2018, Sergey Lazarev gave a gift to all his fans - he showed the face of his son Nikita for the first time.
Alena Apina always believed that a real marriage cannot be for two people, and therefore she made every effort to make her husband Alexander Iratov happy with a child. Unfortunately, 10 years of wandering around doctors and IVF procedures did not help the famous singer fulfill her dream. But one fine day, Apinoy’s attending physician started talking about surrogacy. Alena supported the idea. So, in December 2001, a girl, Ksyusha, was born. In 2003, in an interview with Arguments and Facts, the singer spoke about plans for the next addition to the family:
In principle, we can repeat the experience of surrogacy, since there are two more of our frozen embryos in the clinic. But the doctor who looks after our family told me that nature is sometimes capable of miracles.
At the moment, Ksenia is the only daughter of Alena Apina. But the singer is only 53 years old. Who knows, maybe she will decide to please Ksyusha with a brother or sister. Dmitry Malikov
The beginning of 2018 pleased with the amount of news about star babies. At first, everyone was discussing Valeria and her photo on Instagram with two babies, then they lamented that, after all, the babies turned out to be not the natural children of the famous singer and her husband, producer Joseph Prigozhin. And then, on his birthday (January 29), Dmitry Malikov stunned fans. No, not the news of a new album or a world tour. It turned out that a few days ago the famous musician and his wife Elena became parents!
When I recorded this video, the main event of the past year of my life had not yet occurred, namely, the birth of my son! And now it has happened, and I am absolutely happy! I wish the same for you!
This is how the singer signed the video he posted on his Instagram. Posted by Dmitry Malikov (@dmitriy_malikov) Jan 28, 2018 at 1:04 PST Media reports that the boy was born in one of the most famous reproductive technology clinics in St. Petersburg. Journalists also make the assumption that a surrogate mother gave birth to a child for the star family. However, at the moment the singer has not officially confirmed this information.
But a photo with a new family member appeared on Instagram of Dmitry Malikov’s wife:
Family is a team! Where one is for all and all is for one! And the more young players there are in it, the stronger it is! ❤
Considering the fact that the baby is no longer hidden from the eyes of fans, we can assume that very soon the head of the family will reveal all the details of the birth of the heir. Olga Slutsker
The famous businesswoman resorted to the services of a surrogate mother four times in her life. The first time this happened 20 years ago, when their son Mikhail was born. The second time was 15 years ago, when my daughter Anna was born. The third time was almost 5 years ago, when Olga Slutsker became the mother of twins Katya and Masha. And for the fourth time in 2015, a boy was born. After a scandalous divorce from former senator Vladimir Slutsker (remember, Vladimir sued his ex-wife for custody of Mikhail and Anna) in 2009, Olga, as best she can, protects her personal life from intrusions from media representatives. For example, the world learned about the birth of her twin girls only a year after it happened. Slutsker spoke about this and how she chose a surrogate mother in an interview with Ksenia Sobchak for SNC:
She is a very positive woman, young, large, full of health, modern, not some kind of auntie. I liked the warmth with which she spoke about her daughter, how adequately she answered questions.

14 November 2014, 01:04Quite a few foreign and Russian celebrities have resorted to the services of surrogate mothers. Some talk about it openly, some deny it. This post is dedicated to both of these categories of celebrities.
Sharon Stone
Sharon has three sons, two of whom are not her biological children. But the actress’s middle son was carried by a surrogate mother. The boy's name is Laird Vonn Stone, he was born on May 7, 2005 in Texas. After the birth of her son, Sharon officially adopted him, so many mistakenly believe that all her children are not her own. The reason for using a surrogate mother was the actress's several miscarriages and her poor health (she has asthma and diabetes).

Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah has three children with her husband, actor Matthew Broderick. The actress gave birth to her son James in 2002. But the couple’s surrogate mother already gave birth to twin daughters Tabitha and Marion in 2009. The official reason for this step: at that time, the 44-year-old actress was afraid that she would no longer be able to bear a healthy child herself.

Nicole Kidman
Nicole has four children. The actress adopted the boy Connor and the girl Isabella while in her first marriage to Tom Cruise. In her second marriage to Keith Urban, Nicole had two daughters. The actress gave birth to her eldest Sunday in 2008. But the youngest Faith was born from a surrogate mother in 2010. The reason for using a surrogate mother was Nicole’s inability to get pregnant again.

Elizabeth Banks
Elizabeth married her college sweetheart Max Handelman in 2003. To get married, the actress converted to Judaism. The couple has two sons and both were born by a surrogate mother. Elizabeth was treated for infertility for a long time and unsuccessfully, and then the couple decided to resort to the services of a surrogate mother. In 2011, the couple’s first child, Felix, was born, and in 2012, their second son, Magnus.

Ellen Pompeo
Ellen is married to music producer Chris Ivery. The couple has two daughters growing up. The actress gave birth to her eldest girl, Stella, in 2009. But the youngest Sienna was born from a surrogate mother in August 2014. The reason for using surrogate mother is unknown, but most likely the reason is the poor health of the actress.

George Lucas
The famous director George Lucas has four children. He adopted his first three children while married to film editor Marcia Louis Griffin. George Lucas's only biological child, daughter Everest, was born in 2013 in the director's second marriage to Mellody Hobson, chairman of the board of directors of DreamWorks Animation and president of the investment company Ariel. A surrogate mother gave birth to a girl for the couple. At the time of her daughter’s birth, her dad was 69 years old and her mother was 44 years old. Perhaps it was precisely because of the middle age of the parents that the surrogate mother carried the child.
Robert DeNiro
Robert De Niro has six children. Daughter Drena is the child of the actor’s first wife Dianne Abbott from her first marriage. Robert adopted the girl. Dianne gave birth to the actor's first biological child, his son Rafael. In 1995, Robert De Niro and his girlfriend (common-law wife), former model Tuki Smith, became the parents of twin boys Julian and Aaron. The couple's children were carried out by a surrogate mother. Robert's current wife, former flight attendant Grace Hightower, gave birth to the actor's son Elliot in 1998. In 2011, a daughter, Helen, was born for the couple by a surrogate mother.
Robert De Niro himself often emphasizes in various interviews his biological paternity of those children born to surrogate mothers. At the same time, he says that the reason for using a surrogate mother in both cases was the far from young age of the actor and his women.

Ryan Murphy
Director Ryan Murphy and his husband David Miller have a son, Logan Phineas Miller Murphy, born in 2012 via a surrogate. As in the case of Elton John, it is unknown which of the spouses is the biological father of the boy. It is quite possible that the spouses themselves do not know who the father is. There is a version that in Ryan’s series “The New Normal” he partially illustrated his own life. In particular, according to the plot of this series, a gay couple decided to have a child and, in order not to argue about who would be the biological father, the surrogate mother was implanted with the biological material of both men, and only chance decided whose material would take root (it’s clear: whose vitality will be faster).

Michael Jackson had three children during his lifetime. From his second marriage to former nurse Debbie Rowe, the singer had two children: son Prince Michael Jackson I in 1997 and daughter Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson in 1998. However, there are unconfirmed rumors that Michael is not the biological father of these children. On October 8, 1999, Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe divorced. Michael Jackson received full custody of the children. According to unconfirmed information, in return Debbie received $8 million and a house in Beverly Hills.
The third child of the King of Pop was carried by a surrogate mother. The boy was named Prince Michael II, and he was born in 2002. The most interesting thing in this story is that the main criterion when choosing a surrogate mother was the level of her intellectual abilities, and not medical indicators of her health. Thus, the applicants selected by Michael were required to pass a test that determined their IQ level.

Olga Slutsker
Athlete and businesswoman Olga Slutsker has four children. All of them were born by surrogate mothers and Olga does not hide this. In her marriage to her ex-husband Vladimir Slutsker, Olga had a son, Mikhail, and a daughter, Anna. After the divorce, Vladimir Slutsker deprived his wife of the right to communicate and meet with their children. Therefore, in 2013, Olga again used the services of a surrogate mother, who gave birth to twin girls Masha and Katya. Olga does not name the father of her daughters, although she admits that she has appeared in public with this man more than once. In an interview with Ksenia Sobchak in February 2014, Olga said: “My children have a great dad, amazing, large-scale, smart. One can only be proud of such a dad; the girls are very lucky. On this topic, I propose to close the topic of the father of twins.”

Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin
In 2013, Maxim Galkin and Alla Pugacheva became parents of opposite-sex twins. The children were named Elizabeth and Harry. They were born by a surrogate mother, because Alla Borisovna was 64 years old at that time. According to the couple, the singer froze her eggs 11 years ago, so these children are biological for both parents. For the parodist, these are the first children, but the Diva of the Russian stage gave birth to her eldest daughter Kristina Orbakaite back in 1971, who by 2013 had already given birth to Alla Borisovna three grandchildren.

Beyonce and Jay Z
In 2012, Beyoncé and Jay Z had a daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

Victoria and David Beckham
In 2011, the famous couple had a fourth child, daughter Harper Seven Beckham. There were many rumors that the girl was not given birth to by Victoria, but by a surrogate mother. The reason for the suspicion was that she looked too thin for a pregnant woman - Victoria did not have swelling characteristic of pregnancy. In addition, Victoria got into shape extremely quickly and was not noticed with excess weight after giving birth, and she spent her entire pregnancy in high heels.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel
In 2013, the star couple had their first child, Axel Jack Duhamel. The public suspected Fergie of wearing a false pregnancy belly and using a surrogate mother due to the strange transformations of her stomach, similar to the case of Beyoncé. In addition, Fergie has serious health problems, because she is a former drug addict, and her age is already so young.

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling
In September 2014, Ryan and Eve had the first child for both actors - daughter Esmeralda Amanda Gosling. According to the official version, Eva gave birth to the child herself. But rumors about the couple using a surrogate mother circulate with enviable regularity, and the reason is that no one saw Eva pregnant. There is not a single photograph of the actress with a belly characteristic of a pregnant woman in the public domain.
