Queer Eye’s Tan France has revealed he and his husband, Rob, are expecting their first child.
France, 37, posted a photo to his Instagram. Shirtless, he pasted an image of their child’s first sonogram over his belly.
“So happy to finally share that WE’RE HAVING A BABY!!” he wrote. “No, I’m not pregnant, despite this VERY realistic pic. With the greatest gift/help of the most wonderful surrogate, Rob and I are lucky enough to be on our way to being parents, this Summer. Something we’ve wanted for SOooo many years. Our hearts are so full right now. I cannot wait to hold this baby, and to show him so much love.”
Husband Rob France is a professional illustrator and pediatric nurse. He also shared the news on Instagram, along with one of his own illustrations of a baby.

“We have a beautiful little angel on the way and I didn’t think it was humanly possible to feel like this.”
Tan and Rob married in 2007 and currently live in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Tan’s Queer Eye colleagues were among those to welcome the news. Antoni Porowski commented under Tan’s topless photo, “now I know what it’s like to cry tears of joy and be turned on simultaneously thank you and congrats boys!”
Jonathan Van Ness said, “So happy for you!!! I’m so proud of you and Rob you are two of the sweetest most genuine people in the world & this is the most exciting news ever.”
Karamo Brown, who has two children of his own, said, “Yay!!!!!!! Uncle Momo is going to spoil this baby!”
Bobby Berk said, “Hahahaha. The joy of this post outshines the creepiness of this pic 😂❤️”

Tan has previously spoken of his desire to become a dad. In 2019, he told host Terry Gross in an interview with the Fresh Air radio show, “’I’ve wanted children since I was 19, 20. If I’d had a stable relationship at that time, I would have desperately tried to have children.”
He also said he was a fan of big families: “And I actually — crazily, I still want six. I don’t know if that’s going to happen, but yeah, I still want six children.”

In a 2018 interview with Associated Press, Tan praised Tom Daley for openly talking about surrogacy and also expressed the desire to use a surrogate.
“I feel privileged to be in a position where I get to talk about what I want to do. And if I want to have children I want to talk about it and nobody can say it’s wrong and get away with it. [Surrogacy is] a legal option that is available to us, and I will use that.”

What a shame. Imagine if every self absorbed, narcissistic homosexual would foster or foster to adopt one of the countless children already living who don’t have families to look out for them instead of buying a baby.
DarkZephyr
Its amazing when anybody adopts a child who needs a good home, but nobody shames and attacks straight couples as “self absorbed and narcissistic” when they conceive a child so why should same sex couples be attacked and shamed? Were your parents “self absorbed and narcissistic” when they had you? C’mon now.

Considering that baby probably cost them no less then $100,000 this is a rich mans game.
I always had deep respect for gay couples that adopted though.
DarkZephyr
It doesn’t have to cost that much at all with the right people involved and a lot of love and trust.
TinoTurner
It costs a minimum of $25k to adopt and that’s if all goes smoothly. It’s a shame they’re egos needed a human life to make themselves feel better about themselves. Wouldn’t it be great if gays all adopted or fostered kids? We could set an example to the world and save kids lives. Kids in foster who never get a family usually end up in jail or homeless. But good on these fools for not considering helping society, I’m sure Instagram followers and endorsement deals were what they had in mind. And yes, I’m in the process of being a foster dad.

Only one of them could possibly be expecting a baby. They, as a couple, are not expecting a baby. “Expecting” is just a polite euphemism for being pregnant. Neither are. Fathers only recently started to claim to be expecting, so possibly one can claim to be expecting. One of them is definitely adopting.

Oh gee – thanks for explaining that to all of us – we had absolutely NO idea.
Thank goodness wikid intelligent people like you exist in the world.

I know this is so judgmental. But it’s beyond me why gay men or anybody in their right mind would want children. But thankfully there are those that do. Good luck with that.
missvamp
did any of you read the article? they live in utah- a deeply religious, bigoted state. they would have hell adopting in that state. we’re not protected there. it’s still very tough for lgbt people to privately adopt anywhere, but especially in a state like utah. mormons control that state & pretty much every adoption agency. that’s why they went with surrogacy. it was easier than having to fight with adoption agencies & being turned down again & again. or who knows- they may have been turned down multiple times. we don’t know their struggle.

Why would any gay men with a grain of intelligence choose to live in utah? One of the most notorious hate states.
