Colton Underwood welcomes first child with husband Jordan C. Brown via a surrogate - as they reveal baby name

Colton Underwood and his husband Jordan C. Brown-Underwood have announced the arrival of their first child together. 

The couple revealed they welcomed a son via surrogate on September 26. The child is named Bishop Colton Brown-Underwood. 

The proud parents announced the joyous news on their Instagram accounts, along with photos of their new family of three. 

'Our world is a million times better with you in it. Bishop Colton Brown-Underwood,' Colton captioned the post, along with a blue heart emoji. 'September 26th, 2024.'

The post featured a snap of Colton and his husband with their son, who lay in a car seat. His parents couldn't have looked any happier.

The post also featured a sweet snap of their child's tiny hand holding one of his father's fingers. 

In subsequent snaps, the child slumbered on one of his fathers and also enjoyed a bottle of milk. 

It comes more than four months after Colton and Jordan announced they were expecting their first child via surrogate. 

The couple shared the news on their Daddyhood podcast.  

The NFL tight end hired a $350K fertility team of nine people (including cost of surrogate, egg donor, and eggs) to produce three embryos fertilized by him and the 41-year-old One Blue Hill founder.

'We have all male embryos,' Colton disclosed.

Jordan added: 'But we have two girl dogs, so I think it's time for a boy.'

Underwood replied: 'Yeah we're outnumbered. Well, we're even in this house. But, still, at times feel outnumbered. Yeah, we need we need some more boy energy in here.'

The dads-to-be fondly recalled the moment they learned the embryo transfer was successful, as the influencer-podcaster said: 'When you burst into tears I started tearing up and it was just such a loving fun moment in a memory of the best birthday (January 26) of my life and then we slowly got to tell people.'

As for baby names, Brown teased: 'We have a leading contender and then we have several others that we both like and we'll see what his vibe is.'

The Masked Singer 'Lovebird' also revealed he struggled with fertility issues when he discovered his sperm count was four - not million - four and 'three of them were dead.'

'There's such shame,' Colton told Men's Health.

'Women have too many responsibilities when it comes to giving birth, so for men to have literally one responsibility - have sperm that works to get to the egg - and you can't even do that? That's why it's a blow to your ego.'

Underwood's low sperm count was due to his daily use of hot tubs, saunas, baths, and testosterone-replacement therapy - all of which he quit for six months in order to get his sperm successfully back in the millions.

And while the Name That Tune contestant has 'a million regrets' in life he said of first-time fatherhood: 'But it's worth it, and once the baby's here, it's gonna be so rewarding - and I just appreciate the journey that much more.'

Colton and the former Democratic political strategist began dating in 2021 - the same year he publicly came out as gay under threat of blackmail.

Underwood celebrated one year of wedded bliss with Jordan on May 13: 'Happy Anniversary to the man that challenges me to be a better version of myself everyday. Loving you is easy and I can't believe I get to do it for the rest of our lives. Love you Sharks.'

Brown commented one of the PDA-packed snaps in the Instagram slideshow: 'Wait did our shirts come off at our wedding?'

The Bachelorette #14 alum - who boasts 2.2M social media followers - shot back: 'Not the only thing that [came] off!'

The married couple co-produced Ryan Nordin's Montana-set gay skateboarding short film Scraps.

Colton also has lucrative paid partnerships with brands and companies like Remedy Place, Sollis Health, and JustFoodForDogs.
