Lance Bass and Michael Turchin’s family has doubled in size! The couple welcomed their first children, boy-girl twins, via surrogate on Oct. 13, and chose the sweetest names for their bundles of joy: Violet Betty and Alexander James.
The 42-year-old *NSYNC alum and the 34-year-old visual artist both announced the exciting news by sharing snapshots of the birth certificates on Instagram, each with their own adorable captions.
“The baby dragons have arrived! ! ” Lance wrote. “I can not express how much love I feel right now. Thank you for all the kind wishes. It meant a lot. Now, how do you change a diaper? ? ? ! Ahhhhhhhh! ” Meanwhile, Michael similarly referenced their foray into diaper duty, writing, “Introducing the newest members of the Turchin-Bass household: Violet Betty and Alexander James! ! ! !
They’re pure perfection and yes that includes the dozens of poops we’ve already dealt with. Our hearts our full! ! ! Thank you everyone for the well wishes. ”
Lance and Michael, who’ve been married for six years now, experienced quite a few challenges on their path to parenthood. Back in 2019, they went through six failed egg-donor attempts, and last year, Lance revealed that their surrogate experienced a pregnancy loss at eight weeks.
“It’s been a very long process, years in the making,” Lance said at the time. “There have been a lot of ups and downs. . . way more downs than ups. ” In June 2021, they announced they were expecting twins with a horror-movie-themed TikTok video as a nod to their October due date. Congratulations to the first-time dads!
