Martha Stewart is now a grandmother, thanks to the fertility treatments her daughter, Alexis, underwent.
Since 2007, Alexis had been trying to have a child using fertility treatments. Now, she’s become the mom to a baby girl.
The 45-year-old Alexis chose the surrogate route after investing time and dollars in a variety of fertility treatments, including IVF. After 3+ years of trying, she decided to opt for surrogacy when other means simply weren’t working for her.
As is typically the case in matters of conception and birth via surrogate, neither the donor nor the surrogate have been publicly named. There’s no information available as to whether Alexis knew either before the conception.
By all accounts, Alexis and Martha are thrilled. Said Alexis in a People magazine interview: “Having my own kid is the most important thing in my life.”
And on another happy note, Martha has decided NOT to embrace the moniker “Grandma”. Instead, her new grandbaby will be taught to call her “Martha”… like the rest of the world does!
We wish Alexis and Martha all the happiness in the world!
