Married At First Sight Australia’s Chris Robinson gets candid about his journey to become a dad. <\/p>\n Not only did Married At First Sight<\/a> Australia intruder groom Chris Robinson<\/a> have the stress of marrying a stranger, but he also had to work up the courage to tell his new husband, Sam Stanton<\/a>, that he was expecting two children via surrogacy, a journey he’s since opened up about. <\/p>\n Sparks were flying at the altar for the new couple<\/a>, as they couldn’t be more similar. Sam gushed to the cameras: “We have very similar interests, we almost said the same thing.”<\/p>\n Despite their connection, sharing the news of his impending fatherhood news weighed heavily on Chris. However, he decided to stay tight-lipped after a conversation at the end of the night, during which Sam revealed he isn\u2019t ready for children yet.<\/p>\n As we watch Chris navigate telling Sam the major news of his impending fatherhood, here\u2019s everything he\u2019s said so far about his surrogacy journey.<\/p>\n Sam admitted he wasn’t ready for children yet.<\/p>\n Picture: What has MAFS Chris said about his surrogacy journey? <\/p>\n Chris admitted that since his “early twenties,” he had always known he wanted children. He further explained<\/a>: “I love children, I love my nieces and nephews. I feel like there was a part of me that was missing and that was being a father.”<\/p>\n After his seven-year relationship ended because his partner didn’t want children, Chris saw it as the perfect time to pursue fatherhood on his own.<\/p>\n When he told a close friend of 17 years about his plans, she asked for him to donate sperm for her, and they were successful on their first attempt at IVF. <\/p>\n While this was happening, Chris had also begun his own surrogacy journey in Colombia at an agency. He said: \u201cI hadn\u2019t planned to be going through both parenthood with my friend and surrogacy at the same time, but that\u2019s how it worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n Chris got emotional about his plan to tell Sam about his kids.<\/p>\n Picture: Where is MAFS Chris now with his surrogacy journey? <\/p>\n During the promotion of MAFS, Chris appeared on Today Extra<\/a> and shared an exciting update on his surrogacy journey. He revealed he welcomed a daughter in late 2025 with his friends, a lesbian couple, who he was a donor for. <\/p>\n Speaking about first time fatherhood, he said: “I love her so much and I get really emotional when I talk about her \u2013 it’s happening right now, I’ll try to contain it \u2013 I just love her so much, she’s got me wrapped around her little finger. It’s the best.”<\/p>\n The MAFS groom added that she “lives with her mother full time”, but he sees her “two or three times a week” and is very involved in her life. <\/p>\n He also shared that he’s awaiting the arrival of another child via a surrogate based in Colombia after a failed attempt. He said: “\ufeffI don’t know what [gender] the next will be. It’s a surprise, I’ve got a little girl and I just hope the next one is a happy and healthy baby, I don’t mind.”<\/p>\n Read more about MAFS<\/a> news here:Listen live to Capital, and catch up on any shows you missed, on\u00a0Global Player<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1 April 2026, 19:30 MAFS Australia\u2019s Chris shares update on surrogacy journey after show.
