There’s about to be another bébé in the Queer Eye fam bc style guru Tan France has announced that he and his husband are about to become papas.
“So happy to finally share that WE’RE HAVING A BABY!!” he wrote on Instagram. “No, I’m not pregnant, despite this VERY realistic pic. With the greatest gift/help of the most wonderful surrogate, Rob and I are lucky enough to be on our way to being parents, this Summer. Something we’ve wanted for SOooo many years.”
France continues, “Our hearts are so full right now. I cannot wait to hold this baby, and to show him so much love.”
On his own Instagram page, Rob, an artist, shared an illustration of a baby, writing alongside it, “We have a beautiful little angel on the way and I didn’t think it was humanly possible to feel like this.”
Back in a September 2019, while being interviewed by NPR’s Terry Gross, Tan France said he “always wanted to be a father,” so we’re stoked to see his lifelong dream come true.
“I’ve wanted children since I was 19, 20. If I’d had a stable relationship at that time, I would have desperately tried to have children,” he explained at the time, adding that “surrogacy for gay men costs a heck of a lot.”
“I was going to be a stay-at-home dad, which is something I’ve wanted for many, many, many years. And so that was the plan,” he added. “And I actually — crazily, I still want six. I don’t know if that’s going to happen, but yeah, I still want six children.”
Then in a February 2020 interview with People NOW, Tan France gushed about his partner, saying that he’s “really handsome” and “he just tells me I’m beautiful every day.”
“Every day, he just tells me how much he loves me and everything he loves about me, and I do the same for him,” he said at the time. “And it’s not something we said ‘Oh we should do this for each other.’ We just started doing it.”
Big congrats to the pair.
