Baby on the Way for Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent

Congratulations to them! Much happiness!

God they are both so cute!!! Many blessings for their new family!

Congrats!

Too many haters! Just be happy a baby will get a home and make someone happy.

That’s so great! They’ll be wonderful Dad’s!!! Much love to them.

Suze- sharing the news of a blessing sooner than later is a personal preference and anything in life can happen at any time. Sharing great news early is not only fun, but can ensure that you have the love and support of those around you in the event things don’t go as planned. Support on either side helps to keep people connected and feeling stronger.

So exciting!! Congratulations!! Note to People: maybe the sub headline should read “Celebrities and Babies” or “Parents and Babies” instead of “Moms and Babies”? Just a thought. Such great news!

Another rich gay man who has “bought” a baby. Bought the eggs from a woman and then paid money to a woman to carry the baby….the rich gay man’s way of getting around the surrogate not actually being the mother…since its not her eggs. Guess the mother portion of the birth certificate will be left empty. So sad.

Such cutie patooties!

Hey Suzan. STFU. Seriously. We’re all just tickled to hear that you waited until you were 28 weeks to announce your own pregnancy. But how dare you criticize them or anyone else for that matter for how they choose to announce they are going to become parents. Your way was right for you. That doesn’t mean its right for everyone else out there.

Newsflash, Suzan. The world does NOT revolve around YOU.

I think they’re both so adorable..congrats to the happy couple!

I find it VERY hard to believe that someone could wait until 28 weeks to announce a pregnancy. Your friends, family, etc. must be really stupid.

I agree with others that this is such a personal choice. For me, I’ve announced all 3 of my pregnancies right away. I would rather my loved ones share in my joy, even if that joy is short lived. Congrats to Nate and Jeremiah!

@suzan. How sad you waited that long to share what is supposed to be exciting news. Obviously anything can happen during a pregnancy and everyone knows that. And should something happen to the baby, you’ll have your good friends and family there to support you through your loss. — because you shared the news with them.

I have loved Nate ever since I first saw him on Oprah a long long time ago. I bought many of his candles on HSN. Then watched his show also. I am just so happy right now to hear this news. I have chill bumps because I know that soon, there will be a baby coming into this world that will be so loved. What a beautiful couple. Wishing them all the best.

TO ALL THE PEOPLE on here against Nate’s choices. In the news just this week alone I hear about two girls coming up missing, one murdered by an alleged straight man who raped and killed her. Another story of a man who killed his five kids. Another of a man who killed his child by leaving him in a hot car. So, there are more things wrong with our world that two men that are happy to spend their lives together and want to raise a baby. It would be ideal to adopt a baby for any couple. But most want their own DNA, they deserve the family they want just like straight couples that use their DNA to procreate when they cannot have their own.

Yes but the baby will be still be missing a Mom, by design, and that is just plain wrong, not to mention grossly unfair on the child. No amount of loving Daddies can make up for not having your biological mother in your life, for no reason other than that your Daddies chose for it to be that way. I’m sorry but it is very selfish and this poor child will inevitably suffer. I feel as sorry for it as I do for any child who has one or more absent parents, gay or straight.

Debbe, your point about all the horrible news stories of parents murdering their children is completely irrelevant to this discussion. These situations are not even remotely comparable. My point is that electing for a child to grow up without ever knowing one of its biological parents is very wrong and selfish on the part of those who it and should be, in my opinion, against the law. Children are not science experiments and do not deserve to be denied one of their biological parents just because two men or women want to create their own DNA child. Sorry, but they are asking to defy nature and reality and it will have terrible consequences, as these things always do.

you mean buying a baby. Two men cant concieve, so of course they have to buy one….they act like they did something incredible when all they did was spend a little cash.

Congrats!!!

Storm you said the child won’t know the biological parent so they should adopt instead. Won’t that adopted child have the same issue of not knowing their biological parent? What’s the difference?

The only concerning part about all of the surrogates, IVF etc… are the long term complications. Hopefully there are none, but keep in mind the oldest IVF baby is only 35/36. Millions and Millions of babies are brought into this world via medical procedures (I was told this is the correct term to use), but we have no idea if they continue to live long healthy lives. I hope they do. No matter what, this baby will be surrounded by love and well taken care of.

LOL

Yay!!! Talk about a handsome couple. They will bring a lot of love into this child’s life.

Wow Jamsie, thank you for sharing that sad and disturbing story. I hope you will share it on more message boards on these tabloid sites because no one even thinks of something like this, but I can totally see this happening, two gay men are going to think that is natural and want their own son to be gay. This is a dangerous thing that is happening, allowing gay men to adopt or even use a surrogate. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I hope your friend gets through the abuse he suffered.

I love how everyone is assuming the baby won’t know one or both of its biological parents. One of them is probably the father, and they may have used eggs from a woman who is already a part of their lives. Many children of gay and lesbian couples have a relationship with the other biological parent.

This is a slippery slope, and wrong on so many levels and my concern is for the children involved.!!! I really wish I lived in the 1950’s, when times were much more wholesome.

Good God I almost died from how hot they both look in that picture. I know, they’re gay, my chances are limited but day-um!!! They’ll have a gorgeous family!

BOTH SUCH NICE GUYS. THEY TOTALLY DESERVE ALL THE HAPPINESS.

Katie, it is not the same as in adoption (but as an adopted person, I know for sure how awful it is to grow up without your bio parents) as in the case of adopted children, it is not planned that way and there is a reason they have to be adopted, such as deaths of the parents or abuse or some other unforeseen reason. With this type of arrangement, it is deliberately decided that the child will be raised motherless – plain unnatural and very wrong indeed. There is a difference between trying your very best to make the best of a terrible situation (such as in adoption) and deliberately choosing for a child to grow up and live life without one or both of its natural parents. I would be beyond angry and resentful if I knew that the reason I did not have my natural mother or father was entirely deliberate and I have no doubt that these kids born to gay couples will feel the same way, once the delusion of “there is no right way to make a family” wears off. Guess what? There is, actually a right way to make a family. And purchasing a baby and treating its mother or father as simply a machine to spit out sperm or eggs is just a hideous practice.

From newlyweds to new dads: Nate Berkus and husband Jeremiah Brent are having a baby! They aren’t “having” a baby…men are not made to carry a baby.

Poor baby, this is so unfair.

So I guess in their eyes, children don’t need mothers. Well they needed one so that they could buy this child, which is exactly what they are doing. Selfish and sad. Poor kid. Biology doesn’t lie.

Debbe, you are wrong to distort the point Storm was making. As she clearly articulated, she’s not against gay people raising babies. She’s against the deliberate manufacturing (by gay or straight) of babies who won’t have the chance to bond with a biological parent. We all know the horrible things that happen in the world and the abuse of children, blah, blah, blah. That does not justify selfishly and knowingly creating a fatherless or motherless baby and depriving a child of a natural, biological bond. You are mistaken when you state that “they deserve the family they want just like straight couples.” First of all, no one “deserves” a child. It’s not an entitlement. But when it comes to gay relationships, you can’t have it both ways. If marriage is not about procreation, as many argue, gay coupling is definitely not about procreation either. I’m all for people loving whomever they want to love, but unless Mother Nature made a huge mistake, procreation is a heterosexual thing. The fact that surrogacy is made available by an unethical baby-making industry does not change that fact. Surrogacy is unethical on many levels. But to clarify, I don’t mean that parents who use surrogacy are unethical. They’re just consumers on the market to buy whatever is sold. It is the very industry that legitimizes and implements the technology without concern for anyone involved that is at fault.

Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.
This world is going to hell.
Disgusting!

AWESOME news! huge CONGRATULATIONS to the happy couple! 🙂

Yea! Let’s deprive a kid of her mother and deliberately put her in a situation that has all the drawbacks and then some of a broken home! Hey, kid! It’s not that you were the victim of misfortune. We designed your life specifically to be bad! Don’t you love us loving “parents???” Yea us! Because it’s all about US and who cares if your life sets you up for drug abuse, depression and promiscuity!? It’s not like you’re really a separate person or anything.
