Colton Underwood and his husband Jordan C. Brown-Underwood have announced the arrival of their first child together.
The couple revealed that they welcomed a son via surrogate on September 26. The child’s name is Bishop Colton Brown-Underwood.
The proud parents announced the happy 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 26, 2024.’
The post included a photo of Colton and his husband with their son, who was in a car seat. His parents couldn’t have looked happier.

The post also included a sweet wink of their child’s little hand holding one of his father’s fingers.
In subsequent snaps, the child snuggled on one of his dads 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 a surrogate.
The couple shared the news on their Daddyhood podcast.
The NFL tight end hired a $350,000 fertility team of nine people (including the costs of a surrogate mother, egg donor and eggs) to produce three embryos fertilized by him and the 41-year-old founder of One Blue Hill.
“We all have male embryos,” Colton revealed.
Jordan added, “But we have two girl dogs, so I think it’s time for a boy.”
Underwood responded, “Yes, we are outnumbered. Well, we’re even in this house. But still, sometimes you feel like you’re in the minority. Yeah, we need a little more boy energy here.”

The 32-year-old retired NFL tight end (L) paid a high price for their family when they hired a $350,000 fertility team of nine people (including the cost of a surrogate mother, egg donor and eggs) to produce and fertilize three embryos that he fertilized the 41-year-old founder of One Blue Hill (R)
The expectant fathers fondly remembered the moment they heard the embryo transfer was successful, as the influencer podcaster said: “When you burst into tears I started crying and it was such a loving fun moment remembering the best birthday (January 26) of my life and then we were slowly allowed to tell people.’
As for baby names, Brown teased, “We have a leading candidate and then we have some others that we both like and we’ll see what his vibe is.”
The masked ‘Lovebird’ singer also revealed he was struggling with fertility issues when he discovered his sperm count was four – not a million – four and “three of them were dead.”
“It’s such a shame,” Colton said Men’s health.
‘Women have too many responsibilities when it comes to childbirth, so men literally have one responsibility: to 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 – which he stopped for six months to successfully get his sperm count back into the millions.
And while the Name That Tune contestant has “a million regrets” in his life, he said of first-time fatherhood, “But it’s worth it, and once the baby comes, it’ll be so worth it — and I just appreciate the journey all the more.’
Colton and the former Democratic political strategist started dating in 2021 — the same year he publicly came out as gay under threat of blackmail.
