Celebrities, they’re just like us. They pretend that their yoga pants aren’t actually their PJs, they binge watch the Gilmore Girls and they occasionally accidentally eat the whole cake. Oh wait, no they don’t. But they do struggle with some of the same issues that we “normal” people do, such as infertility. Sometimes baby dreams happen by alternative means. Sometimes, when baby-making gets tough, the tough get — a surrogate! These celeb parents show just how amazingly awesome surrogacy can be for adding a new baby to the family.

1. Tyra Banks: Before you go assuming that the supermodel chose a surrogate to keep her runway figure, think again. After undergoing IVF treatments for fertility problems, Tyra chose to use a surrogate. Tyra (and boyfriend Erik Asla) welcomed a beautiful baby boy named York via their surrogate in January of 2016.

3. Sarah Jessica Parker: SJP and hubby Matthew Broderick had twins by a surrogate. After having their first son James Wilkie the old fashioned way, the couple struggled to expand their family. Luckily, they were able to find a surrogate who could make their baby dreams come true. When the press caught wind of the surrogate’s identity, SJP noted that the woman’s phone and computer were hacked and she was followed. Yikes! (Photo via Gilbert Carrasquillo/Getty)

5. Neil Patrick Harris: Sometimes fertility issues aren’t the focus of surrogacy. When the actor and his husband David Burtka decided to become daddies, they obviously needed a womb to grow their baby. In 2010, the couple officially became fathers to fraternal twins Harper and Gideon.

Following a double mastectomy, Giuliana had been taking cancer-suppressing meds, making getting pregnant herself a non-option. (Photo via Amanda Edwards/Getty)

8. Lucy Liu: In 2015, Lucy had her son Rockwell Lloyd in 2015 via a surrogate. The actress decided it was time to have a child — and didn’t need a ring on her finger to do it!

9. Jimmy Fallon: After struggling with fertility issues for five years, the late night host and his wife Nancy finally got their baby. In 2013, the couple used a surrogate to give birth to baby girl Winnie. One year later, the couple welcomed their second surrogate baby, Frances Cole.
