Queer Eye’s Tan France is expecting his first child with husband Rob thanks to ‘the greatest gift/help of the most wonderful surrogate.’

He made the joyous announcement via Instagram on Tuesday, which featured a playful snap of the British fashion designer, 37, holding a sonogram over his chiseled stomach.

‘So happy to finally share that WE’RE HAVING A BABY!! No, I’m not pregnant, despite this VERY realistic pic,’ captioned France, noting that the baby would be arriving sometime ‘this Summer.’

‘Rob and I are lucky enough to be on our way to being parents, this Summer. Something we’ve wanted for SOooo many years.

‘Our hearts are so full right now. I cannot wait to hold this baby, and to show him so much love,’ concluded France, who boasts nearly 4million followers on the platform.

Along with his shirtless sonogram snap, Tan included a sweet image of himself and his husband of nearly 14 years posing before snow covered mountains.

Rob, who happens to be a professional illustrator, also used his Instagram to unveil the couple’s pregnancy to the world.

‘We have a beautiful little angel on the way and I didn’t think it was humanly possible to feel like this,’ captioned the artist, who doubles as a pediatric nurse.

Putting his artistry to use, Rob conjured up a surrealist drawing of how he envisions their unborn child looks inside the surrogate’s womb.

The couple, who are currently residing in Salt Lake City, Utah, wed back in 2007.

Back in 2019, Tan openly expressed his desire ‘to be a father’ someday, admitting that it has been a dream of his for sometime.

‘I’ve wanted children since I was 19, 20,’ he told host Terry Gross in an interview with Fresh Air. ‘If I’d had a stable relationship at that time, I would have desperately tried to have children.’

Foreshadowing his 2021 announcement, Tan stressed to the interviewer that ‘surrogacy for gay men costs a heck of a lot.’

And despite the success of the Netflix reboot of Queer Eye, France gushed at the time that he wanted ‘be a stay-at-home dad, which is something I’ve wanted for many, many, many years.’

‘And so that was the plan. And I actually — crazily, I still want six. I don’t know if that’s going to happen, but yeah, I still want six children.’

He also spoke fondly of his ‘blissful’ relationship with husband Rob, whom he had been married to for 11 years at the time of his Fresh Air appearance in 2019. 

‘I could write 10 books about how much I love my husband. He’s the most impressive man I know,’ he gushed.

France famously joined the highly successful Queer Eye reboot in 2018, alongside Jonathan Van Ness, Antoni Porowski, Karamo Brown, and Bobby Berk.

The original version of the series, which also aimed to revamp the lives of guests with the help of the Fab 5’s expertise, first premiered in 2003 and aired on Bravo for four years.

Unlike its reboot, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy paired the hosts with  guests who were ‘straight men,’ whereas Queer Eye pairs hosts with people of all genders and belief systems looking to positively upend their current life/lifestyle.
