AceShowbiz - Kyle Dean Massey is a first-time father, after he and husband Taylor Frey welcomed a baby girl via surrogate.
The Broadway stars are fathers after daughter Rafa Massey-Frey was born on 31 October (21) at University of Tennessee Medical, Labor and Delivery. Born one week past her due date, baby Rafa weighed 9lbs 9oz.
"Seeing our daughter's face for the first time is something I will never forget. It's instant love," Kyle told People magazine. "On top of that, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for all the people who contributed to our journey to parenthood, our wonderful egg donor, our physician Dr. Guy Ringler, all of our attorneys, especially Thomas Gleeson. And of course our surrogate and her family who gave so much of herself to give us the most magnificent gift."
"I have been fortunate in my life to experience many things and many feelings, but nothing can compare to the immediate and unconditional love I feel for my daughter," Taylor added. "It is as if with one single look into her eyes the rest of world has melted away. She has stolen my heart forever and changed my perspective on life as a whole. Everyone told me it would be wonderful, but I had no idea it would be to this degree. I stand in awe of my surrogate, and what she was capable and willing to do for us. I watched her labour in tears of gratitude."
Kyle and Taylor's surrogate, Kayde Mason, documented the pregnancy on social media becoming something of a celebrity on TikTok.
