Meghan Trainor and husband Daryl Sabara announced the arrival of their third child — a baby girl named Mikey Moon — born via surrogate on Jan. 18, 2026. The couple shared photos on Instagram Jan. 20 and explained the decision was made after medical conversations and to keep their family safe as they grow.
What happened: the announcement and the name
The pop star and actor revealed the news in a joint Instagram carousel that included tender family photos and a skin-to-skin shot of Trainor holding the newborn. The couple said their sons, Riley (4) and Barry (2), helped choose Mikey’s middle name, Moon, and thanked their “incredible, superwoman surrogate,” plus doctors and nurses who supported the delivery.
When and where
Mikey Moon Trainor was born Jan. 18, 2026; Trainor, 32, and Sabara, 33, publicly shared the news two days later. Sabara also posted select images to his Instagram Stories as the family celebrated privately before returning to social media.
Why they used a surrogate
In their announcement the couple said they had “endless conversations with our doctors” and that using a surrogate was “the safest way for us to be able to continue growing our family.” Trainor has spoken before about balancing motherhood with work and about wanting more children; she told fans she wants four kids and would lean on a supportive team to get there.
Trainor also stressed how important her support network is: an on‑site nanny during weekdays, her mother who lives nearby, a supportive husband, managers who prioritize a kids‑first schedule and trusted doctors. Those resources, she said, helped her heal and manage parenting while maintaining a career.
Context and what this means now
Trainor’s announcement arrives amid broader conversations about fertility, family planning and the role of surrogacy for people who need or choose it. By citing medical advice and safety, Trainor framed the choice as a carefully considered step rather than a spontaneous announcement, which may encourage more open discussion about routes to parenthood.
Fan and industry response
The Instagram reveal drew warm responses from fans and fellow celebrities, with many congratulating the couple and praising the respectful, grateful tone of their message. Media outlets highlighted the family photo carousel and the involvement of Riley and Barry in naming their sister.
What’s next
For now, Trainor and Sabara said they’ll be focused on family time. Trainor has previously said she hopes to expand her family further and will rely on her “team of soldiers and angels” — a nod to the support system she credits with helping her balance career and parenthood. No public appearances or tour dates tied to this announcement have been announced.
