Actress Lily Collins and her husband, Charlie McDowell, welcomed their first daughter, Tove Jane, earlier this week in northern California through surrogacy. Collins expressed her gratitude to her surrogate and everyone who supported them in this significant process.
The news of Tove Jane's birth was shared by Collins on social media along with a sweet image of the baby. This event marked the realization of a long-awaited dream for the couple, especially for the actress, who has always wanted to start a family.
The couple received an outpouring of well-wishes and messages from celebrities and friends congratulating them on the arrival of their daughter, although there were also criticisms regarding their choice to resort to surrogacy. In response to the criticisms, McDowell defended their decision, asking for understanding and reminding everyone of the importance of being respectful of others' personal choices.
