Maria Menounos and Keven Undergaro Share They Are Expecting Through Surrogacy

In February 2023, journalist and TV host Maria Menounos and her husband, Keven Undergaro, announced they were expecting their first child via surrogate after roughly a decade of trying. OK! Magazine reported the news following Menounos’s appearance on Live With Kelly and Ryan.

Menounos publicly thanked Family Match Consulting founder Stephanie Levich, attorney Andrew Vorzimer, Kim Kardashian, Zoe Saldana, their incredible surrogate, and her family.

A Long Road Before the Match

The couple had explored IVF and later paused that path after Menounos’s brain tumor surgery. An earlier surrogate match in 2021 was not medically viable. Through FMC, they connected with the surrogate who would carry their baby — Menounos has said Stephanie helped find a match quickly after they were introduced.

We are overjoyed to share that we are finally gonna be parents! Thank you to Stephanie Levich at Family Match Consulting.
