Colton Underwood Welcomes A Son, Bishop, With Husband Jordan C. Brown

Colton Underwood officially made the leap from “Bachelor” to doting dad last week.
The reality TV personality and his husband, political strategist Jordan C. Brown, confirmed the birth of their son, Bishop Colton Brown-Underwood, on social media Monday. The baby arrived last Thursday.
“Our world is a million times better with you in it,” Underwood wrote in the caption of an Instagram post showing him and Brown posing with their son.
Later on Monday, Underwood shared a short Instagram video of himself in what appeared to be a hospital room while feeding Bishop with a baby bottle.
“Our sweet Bishop,” he wrote.
The news drew an outpouring of well-wishes from some of Underwood’s famous friends, including actors Sophia Bush and Amanda Seyfried.
“WONDERFUL!!! WELCOME!!” Seyfried wrote in the comments of Underwood’s Instagram post.
Added Bush: “Sweet angel is home! Congratulations loves!!”
Brown and Underwood were married in 2023 after about two years of dating. In May, the two men announced that they were expecting a child via a surrogate.
After sharing news of his impending arrival that month, Underwood unveiled a new podcast, “Daddyhood,” in which he documents his journey to becoming a first-time father.
As one-half of a same-sex couple, he said he was particularly passionate about highlighting male infertility on the podcast after learning early in the process that he “literally had no sperm.”
In an interview with Men’s Health timed to the “Daddyhood” launch, Underwood said his No. 1 goal as a father was “just giving our child the freedom to express themselves and to be pure.”

“For me, having the experiences that I have from both the church and football, I’ve dealt with a lot of the toxic masculinity,” he said at the time. “I know that phrase gets overused quite a bit, but there’s very much still stigma and things that go on in the sports culture, specifically.”
Underwood and Brown, who worked on former President Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns, first confirmed their relationship in fall 2021, roughly six months after Underwood publicly announced he was gay in an emotional “Good Morning America” interview.
But the former “Bachelor” star’s coming-out was not without controversy.
Some members of the LGBTQ+ community accused him of “monetizing” the coming-out experience when he announced plans for a six-episode Netflix series, “Coming Out Colton,” that would chronicle his path to living truthfully.
Others slammed Netflix for seemingly “glorifying” Underwood, who in 2020 faced allegations of stalking his ex-girlfriend, “Bachelor” contestant Cassie Randolph.
