Meghan Trainor’s family has grown by one, and her sons Riley and Barry are already proving to be the best big brothers to their new little sister, Mikey Moon. The singer, 32, shared heartwarming details about her sons’ reactions to their new sibling, born via surrogate on January 18.

The Family’s Journey to Welcoming Mikey Moon
Trainor and her husband, Daryl Sabara, announced the arrival of their daughter Mikey Moon in a joint Instagram post on January 18. The post featured a touching photo of Trainor tearfully cradling the baby against her bare chest. “Our baby girl Mikey Moon Trainor has finally made it to the world thanks to our incredible, superwoman surrogate,” the caption read. “We are forever grateful to all the doctors, nurses, teams who made this dream possible.”
The couple explained that surrogacy was the safest way for them to continue growing their family, following endless conversations with their doctors. “We had endless conversations with our doctors in this journey and this was the safest way for us to be able to continue growing our family,” Trainor shared with People. “We are forever grateful for that option.”
Riley and Barry’s Special Roles
Trainor revealed that her sons played a significant role in welcoming their new sister. Riley, 4, and Barry, 2, were responsible for choosing Mikey’s middle name, Moon. The singer also shared that she and Sabara printed out photos for Riley to bring to school and show his entire class after his sister was born.
“He couldn’t have been more excited,” Trainor gushed about her eldest son. The family’s Instagram post also featured photos of Riley and Barry meeting their baby sister and other glimpses of baby Mikey swaddled in a blanket in her mom’s arms.

“We look at each other like, ‘We made the best baby,'” she told the outlet at the time. “We got so blessed.”
