"Performative": Meghan Trainor's Pic With Secret Surrogate Baby Has Everyone Saying The Same Thing

Meghan Trainor wanted a big family, and a big family she has!

The 32-year-old singer and her husband, Daryl Sabara, welcomed a newborn girl and became a happy family of five.

However, she faced cruel backlash for her baby announcement, with one saying, “She didn’t want to ruin her new skinny body.”

On January 18, 2026, Meghan Trainor welcomed a baby girl via surrogacy and shared pictures of herself cradling her bundle of joy.

The pop star revealed the little one’s name, saying her sons, Riley, 4, and Barry, 2, helped pick the middle name.

“Our baby girl Mikey Moon Trainor has finally made it to the world thanks to our incredible, superwoman surrogate,” she wrote in the caption alongside pictures of the family bonding with the newborn.

The All About That Bass singer said they were “forever grateful” to the doctors, nurses, and the medical team that made this “dream possible.”

Meghan said this was the “safest way” for them to “continue growing” their family, after having “endless conversations” with doctors throughout the journey.

“We are over the moon in love with this precious girl. Riley and Barry have been so excited, they even got to choose her middle name,” she added. “We are going to enjoy our family time now, love you all.”

The singer, who is dropping her seventh album Toy With Me in April, previously spoke about the number of children she hopes to have in total.

“Each kid’s going to bring a new version of me that I think is going to be badass — so I need four, at least!” she told People in 2023.

The Made You Look singer admitted parenting “isn’t easy,” but being a mom was still her “favorite thing in the world.”

“Parents just need more support,” she told Today last year. “I want four kids and I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I know that's what my heart really wants, so I'm going to figure it out with my team of soldiers and angels around me. We will find a way.”

While talking about how she manages her career and her family life, she said “therapy, [her] antidepressants, and [her] entire team” help her “do it all.”

“I have an incredible nanny who's here Monday through Friday. My mother lives down the street from me and is always there for me,” she added.

“My husband is also so supportive,” she went on to say. “My managers and my team are my family — they’re at my house all the time and making sure my schedule is kids-first, then work. And I have incredible doctors.”

Although Meghan seemed ecstatic to announce the welcome of baby #3 this month, haters online viciously trolled her for choosing surrogacy.

“She didn’t want to ruin her new skinny body…. Don’t blame her though if do it if I was rich,” one said, while another wrote, “She couldn’t let herself get fat again, oz*mpic wouldn’t allow it.”

“Why does she look like she’s gonna be breast-feeding the baby when it was surrogate?” one asked online.

“Via surrogate but posing like she gave birth herself?” asked another.

Another wrote, “Why she acting like she did it?”

Others shared in the happiness and pointed out that parents could opt for surrogacy for a variety of reasons, hence making it unfair to pass judgment.

“So many celebrities are doing surrogates. They want to keep their figures and not have any of the discomforts of pregnancy. If you can’t conceive then I understand,” one said.

Another wrote, “It’s crazy how ppl just jump to their own conclusions before knowing the real reason why she chose that route…smh.”

“I love that she's taking time for skin to skin! Such an important bonding moment, and when you aren't able to carry, I'm sure that moment is so much more magical!” read another comment.

“People should stop judging you don’t know what her particular medical conditions are or private reasons are anyone can use the surrogate some may need it some may want it, but it’s purpose,” wrote another. “Why do people have to be cruel instead of understanding and knowing that there is another way that should be celebrated and brought forth so people can realizethat there are surrogates out there to be used when needed?”
