The Big Brother winner and his husband Arthur Gourounlian welcomed a baby girl last year.
The winner of both the second series of the game-changing reality show and Ultimate Big Brother in 2010, Brian has gone on to have a successful career in TV . He also recently started a family with his husband Arthur Gourounlian, with whom he shares a daughter, Blake Maria Rose, born last September.
He also paid tribute to his sister, Aoife, who was the couple’s surrogate, saying: “You are a saint to us and we will forever be grateful to you for the rest of our lives. Baby Blake can’t wait for her Aunty Aoife to spoil her.”“What people didn’t know at first was the surrogate was actually my sister,” he said.
Referencing surrogacy laws in both the UK and Ireland – which state that a surrogate is “automatically regarded as the child’s legal parent” – Brian revealed that, as a result, only one member of the couple is listed as Blake’s legal father.It’s bittersweet that, while his sister Aoife is recognised as his daughter’s mother, both he and his husband can’t legally be named as her parents – it has to be one or the other.
Here’s hoping things change so that couples like Brian and Arthur can be more recognised legally in their role as parents.Brian Dowling Claims 'Some People Like To Change History' About His Big Brother Hosting RoleRealness delivered to your inbox By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
