“Kiev is an incredibly interesting city, rich in culture, history and diversity with wonderful people.
“I’ve been in touch today with our lovely surrogate who is also praying for peace and hoping to stay safe with her family sending so much love to the people of Ukraine and everyone affected by this. #ISTANDWITHUKRAINE”.

Earlier this month, Rosanna shared a throwback photo of herself in Kiev.
She said: “A little throwback to this week three years ago. We had just arrived in Kiev, where we spent three weeks for the egg retrieval part of our surrogacy journey to have Sophia, and we’re lucky that it was a very positive experience from beginning to end.
“My mum joined me for the first week and then Wes for the remainder.
“Just wanted to send my love and support to couples planning to travel to Ukraine to begin the process or welcome their new babies in the coming days and weeks.
“My thoughts are with you during what must be a considerably stressful time.
“@irishfamiliesthroughsurrogacy is offering great support, reassurance and advice for those involved.”
