British actress Lily Collins ignited heated debate online after announcing the arrival of her first child via surrogacy on Friday (January 31).
While her fans celebrated the arrival of the newest member of Collins and her husband, Charlie McDowell, critics were quick to decry the practice, with many accusing the actress of “buying a human being.”
“Welcome to the center of our world, Tove Jane McDowell. Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way,” the actress wrote on Instagram, revealing the name of the baby and the circumstances surrounding her birth.
