Lily Collins and husband Charlie McDowell were over the moon after becoming parents in January 2025.
The couple, who tied the knot in September 2021, welcomed their first baby via surrogate three years into their marriage. “Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell,” Collins and McDowell captioned a joint baby announcement via Instagram in January 2025.
That same day, McDowell responded to criticism about their “path to having a baby,” writing via Instagram, “It’s OK to not be an expert on surrogacy.”
He added, “It’s OK to not know why someone might need a surrogate to have a child. It’s OK to not know the motivations of a surrogate regardless of what you assume. And it’s OK to spend less time spewing hateful words into the world, especially in regard to a beautiful baby girl who has brought a lot of love into people’s lives.”

McDowell ended on a funny note, writing, “That’s all for now because she just pooped, and I need to change her diaper.”
