Amy Smart & Carter Oosterhouse

Amy Smart revealed via a sweet Instagram post on January 23, that she and her husband, Carter Oosterhouse, used a surrogate to welcome their first child, daughter Flora, in December.

“One month ago today, Dec. 26th our amazing beautiful daughter came into this world. Feeling so grateful to have her in my arms… after years of fertility struggles I give thanks today to our kind, loving surrogate for carrying her. @carterooster,” Smart captioned a selfie with her baby girl in her arms.

Oosterhouse, 40, also shared the news via Instagram, “We are so excited to announce the birth of our little lady…Flora! We love you more than you know and can’t wait to experience the journey. What a blessing..”, captioning a sweet family photo.

When celebrities like as Amy and her husband, Carter, share their stories, the infertility issue and surrogates lose their stigma.
