Giuliana and
Bill Rancic have announced they are expecting their first child via a
gestational surrogate. The child will have the Rancic gene.
The gorgeous
Giuliana, who just underwent a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with
breast cancer last year, and her equally handsome entrepreneur and TV presenter
husband Bill will welcome their baby in late summer.
"We are so thrilled that our
prayers have been answered," the E!
News anchor and Fashion
Police cohost exclusively tells E! Adds
Bill, "We are absolutely ecstatic to be sharing this with everyone who has
been following our journey”.
Speaking on the
The Today Show, Giuliana, 37, said:
''We are so thrilled that our prayers have been answered. It was one of the
best moments of my life, if not the best moment of my life. It's incredible.
We've been trying for so long, we've been through so much ... And to finally
get that call from the doctor, it was just another world, another level.''

Bill, 40,
added: ''It was pretty emotional because this was our last stop.''
The couple's
struggles to conceive have been well documented in their reality show Giuliana & Bill, with Guiliana
undergoing several rounds of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) which failed and an 8
week miscarriage. In another attempt of doing IVF, the cancer was discovered
during a mammogram ordered by her fertility doctor.
Previously after announcing her Cancer
on The Today Show, Giuliana said "I
still want this baby...because this baby has saved my life," she said.
"I truly feel God was looking out after me—if I had gotten pregnant later
down the line, I could have been a lot sicker."
Bill hopes their
story will inspire and bring hope to others. He said: ''One of the things we've
always tried to do is help others with our story. Whether it's with the
infertility issues, whether it's with the breast cancer, we said we're gonna
turn these negatives into positives. And if we can help others by sharing our
story, then it's worth it.''
"We received an incredible amount
of love and prayers from viewers around the world," says Giuliana,
"and we want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of them
for their love."
Three weeks ago, the couple appeared
on The Today Show and Giuliana gave an optimistic prognosis. "I'm good," she said,
adding she didn't need chemotherapy. "You do what the doctors tell you to
do and it's going to be OK."
Bill also announced the two planned
to renew their vows this summer—"and really take life on and look at it in
a new light."
In addition to Giuliana's gigs on E!
News and Fashion Police, the fifth season of Giuliana & Bill is rolling along
on the Style Network, and just last week the Rancics confirmed they would host
the Eva Longoria-produced dating
series Ready for Love, slated to debut later this
year on NBC. They also have a brand new Chicago restaurant, RPM Italian.
Although they
know the sex of the baby, the couple is trying to keep it a secret for as long
as possible.
Giuliana said:
''We know, but we're not telling anyone yet. We're seeing how long we can keep
it a secret, so we haven't told anyone yet.''
After many
battles it seems only fair that this couple is rewarded with such a miracle in
their lives. They totally deserve this presence of sunshine in their lives-finally!
