YouTuber Rebecca Zamolo and Matt Slays Celebrate Arrival of Second Child

Youtuber couple Rebecca Zamolo and Matt Slays welcome their second child through surrogacy.

In an exclusive with PEOPLE magazine, Rebecca Zamolo and her husband Matt Slays announced that they have welcomed their second child, a baby boy, named Zander, on August 11.

"Every surrogacy journey is different, but for ours we felt so aligned and on the same page. Our surrogate was comfortable having us in the room for the delivery, and we were comfortable with her holding Zander after we saw him," they told PEOPLE.

The couple further added "For us, it was about making sure he was welcomed into a room full of love. At the end of the day, both us and our surrogate and her husband shared the same goal — bringing a healthy, happy baby into the world."

Zamolo and Slays are quickly settling into being parents of two, but they share that they're definitely feeling the family's transition.

Who is Rebecca Zamolo?

Rebecca Zamolo, is a 40-year-old social media influencer, known for her videos on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Her content channel is focused on challenge, DIY, dancing, and gymnastics videos, along with making videos with her husband, Matthew Yoakum, or Matt Slays, whom she married in 2014, and her 3-year-old daughter, Zadie, whom she gave birth to in 2022.

She boasts 3.3 million followers on her Instagram account and 19.6 million subscribers on YouTube, while her husband has 8.39 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and 737k followers on Instagram.

While speaking to the magazine, she also reflected on having two kids now, both under 5, and the kind of balanced routine the couple tries to follow, to have a healthy relationship and loving family.

"It's definitely been a transition, but what works for us is tag-teaming. We divide responsibilities so both kids feel loved and get one-on-one time. For example, I'll take care of Zander's night routine while Matt spends time with Zadie, then we switch. It is the only way that works for us for making sure each of them gets quality time with both of us."

Rebecca Zamolo also spoke about how Zadie is adjusting to the role of an older sister.

"Becoming a big sister has been such a sweet moment for Zadie. While it's been an adjustment, she's excited about her baby brother and loves helping him."

The couple announced earlier in February that, were expecting a second baby through a surrogate.

"Surrogacy has made it possible for us to grow our family, and we are so grateful," the pair told PEOPLE at the time.

Since then, they have given regular updates, including the day their surrogate went into labour, on their social media.
