Did Lady Gaga use a surrogate? Maybe. Maybe not.
But here’s my question: why do we think we’re entitled to know?
How someone builds their family can involve fertility treatments, pregnancy loss and serious medical conditions (including but not limited to cancer, being born without a uterus, and genetic disorders). And unless they choose to share that information, it’s private.
As a fertility lawyer, I’m obviously interested in conversations about surrogacy. But I don't think we have a right to know whether a celebrity used a surrogate because that likely means disclosing sensitive medical information they may not want the world to know.
