Colton Underwood & Jordan C. Brown Expecting Their First Child
Colton Underwood, the former star of “The Bachelor,” and his husband Jordan C. Brown are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their first child, a baby boy, expected this fall. The couple announced their joyous news on May 21, 2024, sharing an ultrasound image on Instagram with the caption, “Our little boy is coming this fall 💙.
Their path to fatherhood involved overcoming fertility issues, specifically dealing with low sperm count, before proceeding with in vitro fertilization (IVF) through a surrogate. Despite these obstacles, the couple remained optimistic and focused on the future, celebrating their first wedding anniversary on May 13, 2024, just weeks before announcing their pregnancy.
Underwood, 32, and Brown, 38, have expressed immense excitement about the upcoming arrival of their son. They have chosen not to disclose which of their sperm was used during the IVF process, emphasizing their belief in nurturing over nature. Their decision to use a surrogate was facilitated through a concierge service, where they selected an egg donor based on qualities they admired, rather than physical traits.
The couple’s journey to parenthood has been documented in various interviews and on Underwood’s podcast, “Daddyhood,” where he shares insights into their experiences. They have also spoken candidly about the broader implications of their journey, highlighting the need for greater understanding and support for all individuals facing fertility challenges, regardless of sexual orientation.
As they prepare for the birth of their child, Underwood and Brown are looking forward to embracing the joys and responsibilities of fatherhood. They are particularly excited about the simple pleasures of parenting, such as holding, feeding, and caring for their newborn.
