Our Beloved Client Maria Menounos Welcomes ‘Miracle Baby’ After Infertility Struggles

Maria Menounos Welcomes Daughter After a Decade of Infertility

Television host, journalist, and entrepreneur Maria Menounos and her husband, Keven Undergaro, welcomed their daughter, Athena, through surrogacy after more than 10 years of infertility challenges.

Over the years, Menounos spoke openly about her desire to become a mother and the obstacles she faced along the way, including fertility struggles and significant health challenges. After exploring multiple paths to parenthood, the couple ultimately turned to surrogacy, a decision that helped them realize a dream they had carried for more than a decade.

A Journey Marked by Perseverance

Menounos has long been candid about the emotional toll infertility can take on intended parents. Throughout her journey, she shared the uncertainty, hope, and resilience that so many families experience while pursuing parenthood.

When their daughter finally arrived, the moment represented the culmination of years of determination and unwavering belief that their family would one day grow.

A Dream Come True

Reflecting on her daughter's arrival, Menounos described the experience as life-changing and deeply emotional. After years of waiting, she and Undergaro were finally able to embrace the role they had hoped for for so long: becoming parents.

Their story serves as a powerful reminder that family-building journeys rarely follow a single path. For many intended parents facing infertility, surrogacy can offer a hopeful way forward when other options have not succeeded.

Celebrating Every Path to Parenthood

As more public figures share their experiences with infertility and surrogacy, stories like Menounos' help normalize the many ways families are created. By speaking openly about her journey, she has helped shine a light on the challenges many intended parents face—and the joy that can come when they ultimately welcome a child.
