Former Olympian Tara Lipinski, who won a gold medal in figure skating, has announced that she and her husband are expecting their first child via a surrogate. Lipinski has been open about her struggles with infertility, including four miscarriages and two surgeries. The couple experienced a lot of anxiety waiting to find out if their surrogate was pregnant, but were overjoyed when they received a FaceTime call with the news of a heartbeat. Lipinski shared her journey on her vodcast, "Tara Lipinski: Unexpecting," in an effort to break the taboo surrounding infertility. Other public figures, such as Chrissy Teigen and Rebel Wilson, have also spoken openly about their experiences with surrogacy.
