Bass revealed in March 2020 in an Entertainment Tonight interview that their surrogate lost their child to a miscarriage, which was their ninth surrogacy attempt.

‘We unfortunately lost him after eight weeks, which happens to pretty much everyone when you’re going through IVF,’ Bass said.

‘I didn’t even know that as we were going through this, but we’ve met so many great couples who have the same story,’ he added.
