Ian Thorpe has always been a daddy, but now he’s going to be a father. The Olympic Swimmer and everyone’s childhood crush has just announced that he and his beau Ryan Channing are in the early stages of becoming parents through a US surrogate.
In an interview with The Daily Mail, Thorpe confirmed that he and Channing were looking to start a family. Sharing, ‘We’re talking about it and have for a while, but it’s still early days. We decided to visit the clinic in LA — it’s all part of the plan at this stage.”
Channing explained that it is easy to become a surrogate parent in the United States. The Australian laws governing surrogacy for same-sex couples are significantly stricter.
We offer the couple our best wishes.
On the topic of Ian Thorpe, who else remembers those whack flavoured water drinks Thorpedo. Was Ian Thorpe affiliated in any way? Do they still sell them? Why did the caps project water with such intensity? I need answers people.
