'Bachelor' Star Colton Underwood Announces Birth of Son
And then there were three! In an instagram post shared Monday, "Bachelor" star Colton Underwood announced that he has welcomed his first child with husband Jordan C. Brown.
Their son, Bishop Colton Brown-Underwood, was born on Thursday, Sept. 26, according to Underwood. The couple previously shared that they had started the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy around two years ago, which was around the same time that they started planning their wedding. Now they are dads!
"Our world is a million times better with you in it," Underwood caption his Instagram post along with several photos of the newborn.
Back in May, Underwood shared that Brown and he were expecting their first child via surrogacy, and it was one of the things that they bonded over as a couple.
"That was one of the things we bonded over early in our relationship. We both wanted to be dads," said Underwood. "But it's been such an incredible experience for us to go through this together, and I cannot wait to watch Jordan become a dad."
Upon learning learning that they had a baby on the way, everybody has "been so excited" said Underwood.
"My family especially knows how long I've wanted to be a dad, and they just know my journey of coming out. [Wanting] to be a father was something that kept me in the closet for a long time," said Underwood. "So for me to be able to say we're pregnant is really big and really emotional."
The pair celebrated their first wedding anniversary on May 13.
"Our doctor actually let our surrogate tell us, which I thought was so special. She got to text us and share the exciting news, and it was such a moment of, I think, relief for us," said Underwood. "We're so fortunate and lucky to have her, but her to make us feel a part of it too, it was really special."
"He's perfect can't wait to come snuggle him 💙💙💙," wrote celebrity personal assistant Sammy Rosenman.
"Just precious," added actor Dave Osokow.
Indeed!
