Bold statement: Chris finally unveils a life-changing secret—he’s expecting two kids, with his new husband Sam by his side—as their journey on MAFS 2026 reaches a pivotal, televised moment. But here’s where it gets controversial: Sam admits he isn’t ready for children in the near term, turning their future into a dramatic test of compatibility and timing.
After more than a week of waiting for the “right time” to share the news, Chris feels compelled to reveal his pregnancy to Sam before an audition tape would expose the truth anyway. Watch the moment unfold above. If you crave the unfiltered inside scoop on MAFS, tune in to After The Dinner Party for unedited insights.
Chris had been carrying a heavy secret: he’s expecting one child via surrogacy and another from a donor. He confesses he’s been terrified that this revelation could make or break the relationship, especially given his past dealbreakers: commitment issues or a reluctance to have children.
The couple’s timeline clashes with Chris’s hopes for a future that includes children, a desire that had already shaped his seven-year relationship history. When the band-aid finally comes off, Sam reacts with surprise but wholehearted congratulations.
Sam’s response, framed as an encouraging reassurance, adds a hopeful twist: he’s open to having kids and would love to raise a family someday, a sentiment he had previously shared publicly.
A look back at Chris’s path to fatherhood shows a long road: in February 2025, he welcomed his first child—born to a close-knit circle of friends who are a lesbian couple—while he continues waiting for his Colombian surrogate to bring their next child into the world. Chris describes choosing a single-dad surrogacy journey three years ago as a way to fulfill his dream of becoming a father, driven by a joy for children and a desire to complete his family.
The surrogacy process overseas has been described as challenging, with multiple hoops to jump through and a journey that required patience and perseverance.
