Meghan Trainor Welcomes Baby Girl Mikey Moon Via Surrogate

Meghan Trainor and her husband, actor Daryl Sabara, are celebrating a joyful new chapter in their family life: the arrival of their third child, a baby girl named Mikey Moon Trainor, born via surrogate on January 18, 2026. The couple, who have been candid about their hopes for a large family and the challenges they've faced along the way, shared the news with fans and followers through heartfelt social media posts—complete with touching photos and emotional messages.

"Our baby girl Mikey Moon Trainor has finally made it to the world thanks to our incredible, superwoman surrogate," Trainor wrote in a joint Instagram post with Sabara on January 20, 2026, as reported by People and E! News. The announcement, which included images of the newborn in a hospital beanie and sweet moments between Mikey and her older brothers Riley, 4, and Barry, 2, quickly drew congratulations from celebrities and fans alike.

The couple’s gratitude was palpable. "We are forever grateful to all the doctors, nurses, teams who made this dream possible. We had endless conversations with our doctors in this journey and this was the safest way for us to be able to continue growing our family," Trainor shared, according to TMZ and Today. The pair emphasized that this path was chosen after careful consideration with medical professionals, underscoring the importance of safety for both their surrogate and the baby.

Riley and Barry, the couple’s young sons, are reportedly thrilled about their new sibling. In a charming twist, the boys even played a direct role in naming their sister. "Riley and Barry have been so excited, they even got to choose her middle name," Trainor revealed, as highlighted by Page Six. The family's excitement was unmistakable: "We are over the moon in love with this precious girl. We are going to enjoy our family time now, love you all," the couple concluded in their announcement.

Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara’s journey to parenthood has been marked by both joy and challenge. The couple married in 2018, after a romantic proposal that Trainor described as making "all of my dreams come true," according to People. Their first child, Riley, was born on February 8, 2021. However, Riley’s birth was not without complications. Trainor has spoken openly about the trauma she experienced when Riley "didn't wake up" during delivery, requiring a stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. She later revealed to Today that her therapist diagnosed her with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result.

Despite these hardships, Trainor’s love for motherhood has remained unwavering. "Being a parent isn't easy—especially not today," she said in a 2025 interview with Today. "And yet, being a mom is my favorite thing in the world. Parents just need more support. 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."

The couple’s second child, Barry, arrived on July 1, 2023—fittingly, the seventh anniversary of Trainor and Sabara’s first date. "He was a big boy at 8 lbs 7 oz, and sideways (transverse), but we had an amazing, successful c-section, and I finally got my skin to skin time!" Trainor shared with her fans. She has also spoken about the emotional toll that followed Barry’s birth, describing a period of intense anxiety and exhaustion that led her to seek immediate help from her doctor. "If you're a parent and feel like you can't ask for help, know that you can," she told People. "Even if it's as small as asking a friend or your partner or your pets, talk to somebody – get it out. If you feel like you're drowning, there are life rafts, I promise. You will be OK as long as you ask for help."

Throughout her motherhood journey, Trainor has been forthright about her reliance on a strong support system. "I am blessed to be in this situation," she told Today. "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. My husband is also so supportive. 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." Her openness about mental health, therapy, and the realities of balancing a career with parenting has resonated with many fans and fellow parents.

As for the future, Trainor has made no secret of her desire for a bigger family. "I still want four, four is my dream…but baby number two, he's testing me," she joked on The Jennifer Hudson Show. In a separate conversation with People, she said, "Where I am right now is far beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. I always wanted a family. Check. Now I need some daughters." The arrival of Mikey Moon seems to be a dream come true for the singer, who has long expressed her wish for both sons and daughters.

The Trainor-Sabara family’s willingness to share the highs and lows of their experiences has made their story relatable to many. Their journey is not just about adding to their family, but about the courage to seek help, the strength to face challenges, and the joy found in everyday moments. As Trainor put it, "We are over the moon in love with this precious girl." With Mikey Moon’s arrival, the family looks forward to cherishing their time together—and perhaps, in the future, growing even more.

For now, the couple is focused on enjoying their newest addition and the simple pleasures of family life. And, as always, they remain grateful for the "team of soldiers and angels" who have supported them every step of the way.
