“And a huge thank you to our incredible surrogate warrior, for giving me the greatest gift you could ever give.”
The couple revealed they were expecting their second child again and told PEOPLE that they found out their surrogate mother was pregnant around Christmas.
Tan said at the time, “We were over the moon. It was the best feeling ever. I mean, it felt almost as shocking as the first time.
“I was overjoyed, in tears, couldn’t believe it had finally happened again. It was just the most incredible feeling.”

Tan and Rob, who have been married since 2007, are already parents of son Ismail, who is one and a half.
The author of Naturally Tan shared his desire to expand his family on the Milk drunk podcast on Thursday, saying that he and his husband were very eager to give their son a sibling who was almost old.
“We wanted him to have someone who will be his person to whom he is bound. I am close to my siblings and my husband is very close to his so we wanted to start a family where [our child] would have more support than just Rob and me.’
“We are so excited that Ismail has a sibling, but the most exciting thing is that hopefully he will have someone to call his person for the rest of his life,” Tan added.
And the host of Next In Fashion then said that while he and Rob are very excited about expecting their second child, their young son has no idea what’s going on.
“All he knows is there’s a car outside with his name on it. As soon as he wakes up, the first word is “car” and the second word is “car”. So no matter what we try to explain to him, what we try to show him, his only word is ‘car,'” he shared with the outlet.
And the couple already know the gender and name of their next child – but they’re not sharing that just yet.
“I have always known these two names that I loved the most. And so luckily Rob loves them too,’ he said. “We’re on track to name our baby that.”

They confirmed they were using a different surrogate this time and he described their relationship.
“The only thing that’s different is she’s out of state, so we don’t see her in real life that often, but we see her on FaceTime or Zoom,” he added. “We text regularly, so it was great.”
And the British-born fashion personality, who lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, plans to stay where he is.
“As an Asian, gay Muslim, I was desperate to get out,” Tan said in his documentary Tan France: Beauty & the Bleach. “From the day I was born, I’ve been concerned about my skin color.
‘Growing up in Doncaster I always felt unsafe. I thought if I had whiter skin I wouldn’t be called a P*** every day.
Tan said in a previous interview: “We are so excited that Ismail has a sibling, but the most exciting thing is that hopefully for the rest of his life he will have someone to call his person,” added France.
Tan explained how a gang of men attacked him on his way to school because he was Pakistani.
“I used to wake up thinking, “What kind of trouble will my skin cause me today?” It was about survival. Being able to get home without being attacked.’
“I just thought, I need to find a way to date, find a job, possibly marriage,” he revealed.
