Kate Bosworth and Justin Long have welcomed a daughter into their family via surrogacy, according to reports. The news has been confirmed by Page Six and comes two years after the couple tied the knot in New York. While the news is yet to be confirmed by the parents themselves, Justin had previously opened up last year about the couple's future plans in a now-prophetic Instagram post.
While showering his better half with praise, Justin penned a message on social media that read as follows:
"One day our kids might ask me, ‘Dad, why did you write sappy things about Mom on that old Instagram app? The one you won’t let us use?And I’ll say, ‘Well… because there are a lot of poisonous things on the Internet but your mom always inspires me to put good things into the world"
He then went on to add:
"Besides, I know reading those old posts touched her and made her smile. And I’ve been so blessed to have experienced so many fun, wondrous things in this life — things for which I’ll never be able to properly express my gratitude — but of all those joys, touching your Mom and making her smile are my favorites. They might say, ‘Ew!’ Or, ‘Why?" And I’d say, ‘Because she completed all of your Dad’s favorite love songs. Even ones he hadn’t thought about since he was a kid. She’s simply the best."
Kate Bosworth and Justin Long's relationship timeline
Justin Long and Kate Bosworth first happened to meet each other during the filming of ‘House of Darkness’ in Arkansas back in spring 2021. The pair headed into the few months that followed, attempting to keep the nature of their relationship relatively quiet, with Justin even feeding into the speculation by making cryptic comments about his dating life.
Shortly after Kate Bosworth and Justin Long were spotted with each other in LA, the couple made their relationship Instagram official in May 2022. While rumors swirled within the social media corridors about their engagement, it wasn't until Justin confirmed the same on social media that fans got to grips with the situation.
Ever since Kate and Justin tied the knot in May 2023, the couple hasn’t been shy about sharing their affection for each other in the public sphere as well. Kate Bosworth revealed some information on the proposal when she was a guest on the podcast of Justin two years ago, which influenced her to say yes to the proposal and later get married to Justin.
"We had just gone through this really hard thing and we had spoken to a therapist and we were trying to move through things at the time and she gave us a really great piece of advice, which was: ‘Make sure that you’re pretty consistently asking the other what you need or asking the other what they need.’ I remember waking up not so many mornings after that therapy session and I looked at Justin and I said…I smiled at you, and I said, ‘What do you need?’ And he, like, really looked at me and he said, ‘To spend my life with you.’ And I smiled and I said, ‘Well, yeah, you have that. Oh my gosh, you have that,’ and he said, ‘No, I mean I really want to spend my life with you."
Kate Bosworth and Justin have been open about their excitement about becoming parents in the past as well, and the arrival of their daughter marks a new chapter for both, representing their first child together.
