If you’re an avid watcher of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, then you’ll know just how much Kim Kardashian wanted to have a third child. For all of you who don’t plan out your Sunday nights around the roller coaster lives of the Kardashian women, here’s a bit of a recap: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West spent the majority of this most recent season looking for ways to have a third child. The mother of North, 4, and Saint, 2, had previously gone through two very difficult pregnancies in which she experienced different medical problems including placenta accreta, in which the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterine wall. Having recently announced that she and her husband would be using a surrogate to carry their third child, Kim and Yeezy join a long list of fellow celebrities who have chosen the same path.
16. Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks (America’s Next Top Model) is the first on our list as a new mother thanks to the help of a surrogate. In 2016, Banks welcomed her son York Banks Asla with her partner Erik Asla. In her announcement on Instagram, the former reality TV host said, “As we thank the angel of a woman that carried our miracle baby boy for us, we pray for everyone who struggles to reach this joyous milestone.”
15. Sarah Jessica Parker
Despite already having a son named James Wilkie, Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex and the City), and her husband Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), chose to have their next child with the help of a surrogate.

14. Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman and her country singer beau, Keith Urban have also decided that they too would like to use a surrogate to carry their next child. The Big Little Lies actress, who has previously adopted two children with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, is currently looking for a surrogate with Keith. The duo already has two children of their own, Faith and Sunday Rose, but due to age and other health problems, Nicole has chosen not to personally carry their third child.

11. Michael Jackson
Even after his death in 2009, Michael Jackson’s use of a secret surrogate in 2002 to have his youngest son, Blanket, is still a hot topic for people. While the surrogate was never officially revealed, many believe it to be a Mexican nurse named Helena, whom the “King of Pop” apparently paid up to $20,000 for her services. Now that’s a pay day.

1. Beyoncé
Last, but never least, is Queen B herself, Beyoncé. While this one is far from confirmed, rumors have circulated for years that Beyoncé used a surrogate to have her first baby. Many believe Beyoncé and Jay-Z used a surrogate for the birth of Blue Ivy, due to some strange stomach movement during an interview while she was pregnant. Beyoncé has spoken about suffering a miscarriage and many think her recent twins are the result of In-Vitro Fertilization, meaning her pregnancy problems COULD have resulted in her choosing to have another woman carry Blue. But tbh, this one is mostly just a conspiracy theory.
