Meghan Trainor Defends Surrogacy, Citing Health Risks and Addressing Backlash

Her podcast account focuses on medical advice that made surrogacy the safest choice.

Overview

  • Trainor, in Thursday's Not Gonna Lie podcast interview with Kylie Kelce, publicly explained why she and Daryl Sabara chose a surrogate for their daughter, Mikey Moon.
  • She said doctors warned about autoimmune concerns and likely repeat C-sections because her babies present sideways, so surrogacy was the safest path while she was still healing.
  • She described the process as emotionally hard, admitting jealousy that she could not carry the baby and constant worry about the child's wellbeing while another person was pregnant.
  • She praised a strong, ongoing bond with the surrogate who sent frequent updates, and she said avoiding C-section recovery let her be more present with the newborn and her two sons.
  • Addressing online criticism, she said the backlash led to tears most nights, and she responded to trolls with a blunt message quoted in reports: "They can suck my ass."
