Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent Welcome Daughter Poppy

Mazel Tov, Nate and Jeremiah!!

They are beautiful inside and out, and their daughter will be very lucky to have such loving and adoring parents. Good for them!!!!

I don’t know these guys besides from here, but they look happy together and excited about their little girl. So congrats and I’m looking forward to see pictures of their family of three.

Congrats! After knowing that he lost a husband/boyfriend in the 2004 tsunami I’m so very happy to hear that he has found happiness.

Hope they will stay together & be good daddies. Show business is hard on children.

Holy smokes those are two good looking men! Congratulations on the baby girl! For those complaining about her having no mother, I’m sure there are women relatives/friends who will be more than willing to step in for this little girl when she needs a woman to talk to. MANY children grow up just fine with only a mother, or only a father and I doubt you worry about them!

These two sweet people are going to raise the most magnificent, strong, compassionate child. I am so happy they found each other and are going to start this beautiful chapter together. Love is love.

How sad for this baby to grow up without a mother and never knowing what a real family is all about. What some grown people do to their children in the name of love makes me sick. I’m sure this want be posted because it may offend someone.

@FelicityJune, I agree! I am sure they will be great dads, but I hope she will have a relationship with her biological mother. Just like a child of a lesbian couple would ideally have a relationship with his or her biological dad. Biology DOES matter, and a child should have the opportunity to have a relationship with a mom and a dad, regardless of who the legal parents of the child are. If a bio parent is missing from a child’s life for cause, that’s one thing, but to deny a child a relationship with a biological parent just because they have a same-sex partner is wrong IMO.

So excited for them, congratulations. What a lucky little girl!

TO THE PEOPLE WHO WORRY ABOUT THIS COUPLE NOT PROVIDING A MOTHER FOR THE CHILD (If this is even the case): I guess you have not looked around at all the deadbeat parents in America by hetero couples?? Which is statistically more. So many kids out there where the dad wasn’t there, or the mom wasn’t there. Those children didn’t have one parent, why should you bring this up?

Sherri?? you are ignorant. A real family?? Isnt a real family one where both parents- no matter what gender- love their kid?! And provide for them and care for them?! This is definitely what this baby will have!!
Just because they don’t have a mom doesn’t mean the baby won’t have a “real family”.. I don’t think u know what a “real family” is.

SHE WILL ADORABLE AND VERY WELL DRESSED!
CONGRATS…SUCH NICE GUYS!!

So very happy for Nate & Jeremiah!

So happy that Nate found happiness after losing his first partner in the Tsunami. This little girl will be raised in a very loving, stable home. Shame on those who think/say otherwise. Not all “traditional” families provide the love that their children need.

To Felicity June, Nina, Guest, Meh and Sherrie (Norma’s comment was deleted) you homophobic tripes.

That birth must have been a b*tch! I LOVE the name though 🙂

So happy for them !

Awwwwwwww…. I love the name Poppy! Congratulations to the proud parents. Love, happiness and health to this beautiful American family!

Aww …. congratulations to them! This made my heart happy. Absolutely love the name Poppy as well. 🙂

Congratulations to Nate and Jeremiah on their precious little girl. I think Poppy is a beautiful name by the way.

that’s nice for them; they still look like father and son, though!

as for people who see the “missing piece” as a mother, why not wail “Oh no, no parent who is a tennis player? No parent who plays chess? No parent with a pilot’s license? No parent who speaks Chinese?” It’s just people. Two people and a baby. wouldn’t matter if someone with a uterus were in the picture, she too would be just a person, with whatever traits and skills and flaws.

oh please, people want a default mother? What if the mother were psychotic, seriously handicapped, or a Scientologist, then you would find fault with her. What if the mother were a lesbian? You’d find fault with that too!

Mazel Tov. I wish you all happiness and health.

for some of you who don’t like what they are doing why take time and read and comment on it. keep your negative comments to yourself and go raise your “perfect” families and leave this one alone. #bitterhags

So let me get this straight, in some people’s opinion, a mother is needed to have a healthy, balanced upbringing? Clearly, you have never met my “mother” and I use that term very, very loosely.

This woman terrorized me my entire upbringing and was physically and emotionally abusive. I was adopted by her and my dad (the only reason I had any bright spots in my childhood) at the age of 8 weeks. If I acted out for any reason, she would say that she made a mistake going through with the adoption.

It wasn’t until I met my BIOLOGICAL mother as an adult that I finally had a real mother/daughter relationship. My biological mother wasn’t a part of my childhood. Being adopted by someone doesn’t make automatically mean you are missing something.

I would rather see 2 MEN raise a happy, well-adjusted child then one be raised by a father and a mother like the one that raised me.

I think that you need to open your narrow minds and remind yourself that families come in all shapes and sizes, some with 2 moms or 2 dads or 1 dad or 1 mom or a mom and dad. As long as that child is loved and cared for? That’s all that matters.

That’s one lucky little girl to have such incredibly good looking daddies;)

The LGBT community likes to site every case of child abuse when it comes to hetero couples raising children and yet it still does not justify purposley denying a child daily access to one of their parents. Quite honestly, it’s also a childish argument. Nate, himself, had the benefit of having a mother and father something he is denying his own child.

@mel, I think we can agree that an unhealthy relationship is bad for a child, no matter the sexual orientation of his or her parents. You proved that with your own experience, but that’s not what’s being discussed here. I believe a child shouldn’t be denied a HEALTHY relationship with both a mom and a dad. If that isn’t possible due to a parent being unfit, that’s a different issue entirely. If a child has more than one mom or dad due to a same-sex relationship or a blended family, then that is wonderful and should be celebrated.

Two loving dads are great, but they simply can’t replace mom, and vice versa. I had unhealthy relationships with both of my parents, and even as an adult I mourn the loss of both types of relationships. So you’ll never be able to convince me it’s OK to deny a child a healthy relationship their mom or dad, regardless of sexual orientation.

Wow. Are those two good looking or what? Congrats on the new addition!

Mazel Tov, Nate and Jeremiah! Such a lucky, fortunate baby girl, to be blessed with 2 loving parents—regardless of gender or sexual orientation!!!

So happy for you both! I know some people are saying the baby needs a mother, well it will be just fine with the family it has been blessed with. There are all types of families and none are perfect, so not having a mother or father doesn’t mean it will be a better situation.

Congratulations to you both, you will be wonderful parents…..To all the haters i had a mother and a father, my father abused me, my mother did nothing about it, so it wasn’t good for me to grow up with a mother and a father, love is love, weither it be a mother and a father or 2 mothers or 2 fathers, love is love, please if you can’t be happy for a beautiful don’t post your hate

This little girl is very lucky to have two such wonderful loving Dads. A Mom is not nessesary to grow up feeling loved. Anyone with a negative comment should just keep it to themselves. By the way have you ever thought that the biological surrogate has no interest in children & that’s why she did this? More importantly how do you know the surrogate is the mother? Men donate sperm & women donate eggs. So unless you know Nate & Jeramiah personally they could have used a donate egg for the in vitro? Congratulations to both Dads & good luck on your second child your planning for.
