‘Glee’ alum Becca Tobin welcomes baby via surrogate after fertility struggle

Becca Tobin is a mom!

The “Glee” star welcomed a baby boy via surrogate after struggling to conceive for five years — and tragically suffering two miscarriages. 

“Welcome to the world, Ford,” the actress, 36, captioned an Instagram photo on Tuesday, showing her entrepreneur husband Zach Martin leaving the hospital with their son in a baby carrier.

She added, “Rutherford ‘Ford’ Thomas Martin is here and life is already so much sweeter. It took him five years to get here, but it’s been worth every minute. Thank you to our amazing surrogate for bringing him here safely surrounded by so much love.”

Her former “Glee” co-stars offered their congratulations in the comments section. “Love you, Ford!” Lea Michele wrote, while Kevin McHale commented, “Love you all soooo much, congratulations.”

The “LadyGang” podcast host opened up about her difficult journey to motherhood during an episode last year.

“In my earlier 30s, I was having an ultrasound and the doctor said, ‘Oh, my gosh, look at all those eggs,’ so I had a false sense of confidence in my ability to make a baby,” she said at the time, noting that she and Martin saw a fertility specialist and froze their embryos.

“I didn’t realize the weight that would be lifted the moment that I found out that I didn’t have to hurry up and keep trying and hopefully get something healthy.”

The couple said “I do” in December 2016 in a Wyoming ceremony officiated by fellow “Glee” star Jane Lynch.

“Neither one of us wanted to do a ‘first look,’” she told “Brides” at the time. “So the moment I came down the aisle and we saw each other for the first time was my favorite! It was so incredibly exciting and super romantic. We loved being able to stick with that tradition.”

Before tying the knot with Martin, she dated nightclub entrepreneur Matt Bendik, until he was found dead in a Philadelphia hotel room in July 2014.
