Olympian Țara Lipinski Expecting First Baby With Husband Via Surrogate

“She’s been able to give me reassurance and make the journey as good as it can be, especially for someone who has been through a lot of trauma,” Tara confessed. “Even though she is in another state, we speak every single day. We’ve now become close friends and we’ve created this beautiful connection that I didn’t expect going into this.”

She added, “I just never thought this relationship could be so magical.”

Giving insight into meeting Mikayla, Tara shared, “There was an immediate connection and bond between us, one I just didn’t expect to feel so strongly. Two peas in a pod type of feeling…teammates on the deepest level.”

At the 1998 figure skating Olympics, Tara won the gold medal at only 15 years old. Meanwhile, Todd has worked as a producer and director for Fox Sports Live, along with NFL Thursday Night Football.
