Malin first announced on Instagram in September that he and Richardson, who married in 2012, wereexpecting twins.
The new dad also explained in apost on his websitethat he and Richardson first met with a fertility doctor in 2016.
“If you want to get pregnant and cannot biologically do so (such as two men) you must first find an egg donor,” Malin wrote at the time. “This is a lengthy process. Hopefully the donor will produce many healthy eggs to be fertilized with your specimen. Once the eggs are fertilized, they are graded from healthiest to unhealthiest and the best ones are frozen. For us, this process alone took one year.”

Shedding light on the couple’s experience with their surrogate, Malin wrote, “We were incredibly lucky to find ours only a few hours away from our home in Los Angeles. In fact, we were in the room the day they implanted the two embryos and it just happened to be the same day we met, April 17th — but 12 years later.”
Continuing, he added, “Watching the development of them at each ultrasound is absolutely mesmerizing and hearing their heartbeats makes me quiver with a feeling I cannot describe.”
