Overview
- The singer and her husband Daryl Sabara announced on Jan. 20 that their daughter, Mikey Moon, was born on Jan. 18 through gestational surrogacy.
- In comments reported from a People interview, Trainor said the choice followed extensive consultations with doctors and was considered the safest path for their family.
- A hospital photo of Trainor holding the newborn led some viewers to believe she had given birth herself, intensifying criticism on social media.
- Trainor publicly thanked the surrogate and medical team and described surrogacy as “another beautiful way to build a family,” calling for an end to stigma.
- The couple said their older children, Riley and Barry, helped choose the baby’s middle name, Moon, as broader online debate continued over ethical and legal questions around surrogacy.
