Colton Underwood, the former lead of “The Bachelor” who later came out as gay, laughed with his husband on their podcast about how their newborn son “doesn’t have a mother.”
Underwood is married to Democratic strategist Jordan Brown. The pair adopted a baby boy a month ago using an egg donor and a surrogate, and they talk about that process and parenthood on their “Daddyhood” podcast, which says it is “humanizing the fertility journey.”
“He’s our son and he doesn’t have a mother,” Brown said as Underwood finished the sentence with him and the two laughed.

Brown held the one-month-old and fed him a bottle as they went on to discuss comments people make about the baby.
“Sometimes it’s rude and disrespectful and again, other times it isn’t. Some people don’t know,” Brown said. “There are comments sometimes of, this child was ripped away its mom.”
“Not the truth,” Underwood said.
“Not at all,” Brown continued. “We made Bishop because there was an egg donor who is a separate person from the incredible woman who carried him who was our surrogate, and by the way, neither of them feels in their heart like he’s their child.”
“The term we use is he has an egg donor,” Underwoods said. “He doesn’t have a biological mom. He had an egg donor, and he had a surrogate that brought him into this world.”
Most of the podcast’s episodes get a few hundred, sometimes a few thousand views.
Underwood was previously accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend from The Bachelor, who claimed he planted a tracking device on her car. She filed a restraining order against him.
Surrogacy has become a highly controversial practice in recent years.
Critics argue that surrogacy is unethical since it creates a pregnancy with the intention of separating the child from its mother immediately upon birth. Many celebrities including Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Paris Hilton have used surrogates to carry their children.
Critics also argue that surrogacy exploits low-income women who may agree to carry a child for the money, which can be $100,000 or more. Surrogacy is also loosely regulated in some areas, which critics say leaves women and children vulnerable.
