The 44-year-old said he kept it a secret because she “felt an obligation to keep the surrogate’s privacy.”
“That was of utmost importance to me,” Ellen added.

“Chris Ivery has to do what he has to do and provide, and then I had to provide something as well, you know?” she explained. “You have to retrieve the egg. And then they put it together in a dish, the lab technicians, and then they make the embryo. Then they insert the embryo into the woman who will carry the child."

Though she was so open about the process, she’s keeping the surrogate’s name a secret. “This is an incredible thing to do with your life, to give the gift of carrying someone's child, so I am forever grateful and feel very blessed and grateful to her—she who will remain anonymous.”
