Summary

For the very first time, we reveal all of the fascinating details behind Scott’s twin baby journey in a dedicated 3-part series. Half a million dollars and 6 years later, Scott and his husband Marcus rode the emotional highs and the gruelling lows of securing a willing egg donor and surrogate overseas to fulfil their lifelong dream of having children of their own. What’s most unique about this story is that one twin is biologically Scott’s, and the other twin is biologically his husband’s (same egg donor, different dads)! Since the bubs are due in February, we are bringing you a bonus episode today, tomorrow and Saturday to answer all of your burning questions.

The 3-part series will cover:

The gender of the twins which he and his husband were able to choose

Whether the couple will find out whose baby is biologically whose

Exactly how much the process has cost

How they selected an egg donor, who she is and whether she’ll be in the children’s lives

A call with the surrogate who reveals how many times she’s done this before, whether she’ll struggle to hand over the babies she has birthed, and if she knew who Luke & Scott were from TikTok

… and so much more!
