TMZ reported the ππππ¦ was ππ¨π«π§ on Saturday in a Southern California hospital. The couple were spotted near San Diego at a dog beach the day before the little girl was ππ¨π«π§.
Daily MailΒ reported the arrival of the ππππ¦ is very premature with the surrogate giving ππ’π«ππ‘ at 27 weeks β 12 weeks ahead of the expected delivery date.
The report stated the ππππ¦ was due in April and Priyanka had planned her work schedule around the due date but the early arrival changed everything.
The ππππ¦ is expected to remain in hospital under the care of doctors until she is healthy enough to go home with the Hollywood couple.
So, why surrogacy?
