posted in CelebritiesTig Notaro's dream of becoming a mom has come true, times two! The comedian, who famously shared about her cancer battle on stage, has welcomed twin sons with wife Stephanie Allynne.
Making the big announcement via Facebook, the 45-year-old wrote:
"Max and Finn Notaro arrived happy, healthy and really, really cute on June 26. [Our cat] Fluff has a ton of questions about how long they plan on staying. Thank you everybody for your endless love and support."
Max and Finn were conceived with Stephanie's eggs, and carried via a surrogate.
Tig Notaro announced their sons were on the way in January, in a heart-warming message about the future she and Stephanie were creating for their entire family.
"I have really come to believe SO MUCH in the saying that 'it takes a village' and we have taken that to heart by creating our own little village tucked away in the hills of Los Angeles," she explained to fans.
"Stephanie and I have built a beautiful little compound that her entire wonderful family actually occupies with us. Tea with her sister, dinners with her mother, music with her brother-- its all beyond any fantasy I had ever imagined for myself. Borrowing a stick of butter from one another's fridge, carpooling to the store and pet sitting for whomever may be traveling that particular week. With the loved ones and wildlife that tread across our yard daily, we truly can not wait to share this world with Itsy and Bitsy upon their eagerly anticipated arrival into our lives."
Doesn't that sound wonderful? I wish we all could be surrounded by such love and support!
As a longtime listener of This American Life I've always enjoyed hearing from Tig, but it wasn't until I watched Tig on Netflix that I learned more about all this couple has gone through.
I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it yet, and I couldn't be more thrilled to hear of Max and Finn's arrival. Congratulations to Tig and Stephanie!
