We love you more than words can say.” under a picture of her husband Chris Ivery is holding their infant daughter.

8. Jimmy Fallon

The Tonight Show’s Jimmy Fallon and wife Nancy Juvonen had an incredibly hard time dealing with issues in fertility. At the end of a harrowing process, they chose to become parents through surrogacy and welcomed girls Winnie and Frances in 2012 and 2013.
Fallon spoke about the entire experience to Today after Winnie was born. “We tried before, we told people and then it didn’t happen. And it’s just really depressing. It’s really hard on everybody,” he explained. “We said, ‘We’re not going to tell anybody.’ It’d be just more fun if it’s just private between me and my wife. And then we get to introduce her to everybody.”

9. Elton John

Iconic singer and composer Sir Elton John welcomed son Zachary in December 2010 with husband David Furnish. 3 years later, they used the same surrogate to have their second child Elijah, who arrived in 2013. “Elton and David love this lady like a sister and they feel indebted to her for life,” a source said.
