A photo shared by Meghan Trainor after the birth of her third child sparked strong reactions online. While many people congratulated her, others criticised the image and questioned her choices, leading to a heated debate on social media.
The baby was born through surrogacy. Trainor explained that this was the safest option for her and her family. She publicly thanked the surrogate and the medical teams involved and said surrogacy is a valid and positive way to build a family.
Most of the backlash focused on a hospital photo in which Trainor appeared in a hospital bed, despite not giving birth herself. Some people felt the image was misleading or inappropriate. Others linked the criticism to her earlier image as a body-positivity advocate and her later openness about cosmetic surgery and weight-loss treatment.
The reaction online was divided. Some commenters questioned the ethics of surrogacy and used harsh language. Others defended Trainor, saying no family owes the public an explanation for personal or medical decisions.
Trainor responded by saying every family’s journey is different and deserves respect. She said her priority is now her children and spending time together as a family.
