Lipinski, 41, shared the exciting news on Tuesday, October 3, before diving deeper into the process with husband — and cohost — Todd Kapostasy on the Thursday, October 5, episode of their “Unexpecting” podcast. “Episode 12 we made some pretty big moves. After our immune testing results we decided to take one of our own biological, genetic embryos and give it to a surrogate,” Lipinski wrote via Instagram on Tuesday. “We matched with a heaven sent surrogate Mikayla and we received a positive pregnancy test.” The following day, the athlete — who married Kapostasy in 2017 — gave her Instagram followers more insight into her bond with the couple’s surrogate, sharing sweet text message exchanges about the process.
