Actress Elizabeth Banks Is A Mom Via Surrogacy


The 37-year-old blonde bombshell hast taken to her personal blog and posted that she and longtime husband Max Handelman are now the parents of baby boy named Felix Handelman.

Elizabeth Banks went on to explain how and why she and her husband opted for gestational surrogacy:
"The one true hurdle I've faced in life is that I have a broken belly," she continued. "After years of trying to get pregnant, exploring the range of fertility treatments, all unsuccessful, our journey led us to gestational surrogacy: we make a 'baby cake' and bake it in another woman's 'oven.'"
The 'Slither' star and her producer/writer husband were college sweethearts and married on July 5, 2003.

Elizabeth Banks also made a really kind statement about meeting the surrogate and her husband:
"From that came two miracles. The first was meeting our carrier and her husband who were truly humbling in their decency and generosity. And the second miracle was the birth of our baby boy, Felix Handelman. Felix means 'happy' and 'lucky' in Latin. And true to his name, Felix is a very happy baby and a blessing on our life."
I think she's a fantastic actress and loved her in both Slither and Zack & Miri Make A Porno. Congratulations to the happy couple!
