Rob, who happens to be a professional illustrator, also used his Instagram to introduce the couple’s pregnancy to the world.
“We have a beautiful little angel on the way and I did not think it was humanly possible to feel that way,” wrote the artist, who also serves as a pediatric nurse.
Using artistry, Rob conjured up a surrealistic drawing of how he sees their unborn child in the surrogate’s womb.
The couple, who currently live in Salt Lake City, Utah, were married in 2007.
In 2019, Tan openly expressed his desire ‘to be a father’ and admitted that it had been a dream of his for some time.
“I have wanted children since I was 19, 20,” he told host Terry Gross in an interview with Fresh Air. “If I had a steady relationship at the time, I would have desperately tried to have children.”
In anticipation of his 2021 announcement, Tan stressed to the interviewer that “surrogacy for gay men costs a lot.”

And despite the success of Queer Eye’s Netflix recharge, France was buzzing at the time that it wanted to ‘be a stay-at-home dad, something I’ve wanted for many, many, many years’.
‘And so that was the plan. And I actually want quite six. I do not know if this is going to happen, but yes, I want to have six more children. ‘
He also spoke lovingly about his ‘blissful’ relationship with husband Rob, with whom he had been married for 11 years during his Fresh Air appearance in 2019.
“I could write ten books about how much I love my husband. He’s the most impressive man I know, ‘he stormed.

France joined forces with Jonathan Van Ness, Antoni Porowski, Karamo Brown and Bobby Berk in 2018 on the extremely successful reload of Queer Eye.
The original version of the series, which was also aimed at revamping the lives of guests using the expertise of the Fab 5, premiered in 2003 and aired for four years on Bravo.
Unlike the recharge, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy paired the hosts with guests who were ‘straight men’, while Queer Eye wanted some hosts with people of all genders and belief systems to positively promote their current life / lifestyle.
