Dutch PM, Argentine partner expecting baby via surrogate mother

Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten and his Argentine partner Nicolás Keenan, a professional field hockey player, are expecting a baby through the assistance of an egg donor and a surrogate mother, they announced on Monday. The couple shared their news on Instagram, alongside a photo of them holding a pregnancy scan. Jetten's political party, D66, released a statement explaining that the pregnancy was made possible by Dutch friends who already have children and that there is no commercial surrogacy involved.

The surrogate mother and egg donor are known to Jetten and Keenan. They expressed their gratitude for being able to fulfill the wish of the two fathers-to-be to have a child in this way. Prime Minister Jetten stated that surrogacy felt like a very special way to help make the dream of their dear friends come true. The surrogate mother, known as Lisa, also shared her perspective, saying that surrogacy was a special way to assist in fulfilling the dream of dear friends.

The prime minister and his partner have been engaged since 2024. Keenan, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and raised in Spain and Italy, has represented Argentina's national team 82 times, scoring 21 goals.
