"We were instantly in love. He's just perfect in every way."
Influencer Jordana Abraham is about to be a mom — twice!
The 36-year-old podcast host and co-founder of Betches took to Instagram on Oct. 23 to share that she’s expecting two baby girls this winter, but later revealed that her daughters won’t be twins.
That’s because both she and her surrogate mother are pregnant at the same time.
“After nearly 4 years, 2 miscarriages, an ectopic, and 3 chemical pregnancies it has been a long road but we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!” she wrote of her pregnancy journey in the caption.
“Feeling so grateful to everyone that helped us get to this point and for the opportunity to share our story on the season finale of Baby Steps, out now on the Oversharing feed,” she concluded.
She went on to detail her double pregnancy in the Oct. 23 episode of her “Baby Steps” podcast.
It all started in January 2022 when Abraham and her husband, Michael Marinelli, decided to start a family. What followed was more than two years of fertility issues as they tried everything they could to conceive.

Abraham’s fertility journey took an exciting turn when she decided to test the surrogacy process.
At the time, her doctor suggested doing one more IVF transfer along with finding a surrogate to see what happens. So, that’s exactly what she does — and it culminated in two positive results.
Not only did her surrogate test positive, but she also received a positive test not long after.
Jordana Abraham wasn’t confident in either positive tests
Considering how her pregnancy journey had fared up to that point, Abraham’s confidence was slim.
Things took a turn for the worse when Abraham’s surrogate was told that she was suffering a miscarriage.

Abrahama and Marinelli had already begun the mourning process — while also feeling less and less confident about their own pregnancy — when their surrogate received some more positive news.
It turned out that the miscarriage was a false alarm and that the baby was healthy.
Fast forward to now and both babies are still very healthy.
“Here we are. We’re at 25 and 27 weeks,” Abraham said on her podcast. “Me and Haley (her surrogate) are due 12 days apart.”
“It still feels like I can’t trust it until they’re in my arms,” she continued. “But it is crazy to have two babies due 12 days apart.”
Abraham went on to add that the two babies could very well end up being born on the same day.
