Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara’s family just got a little bigger—and a lot pinker.
The “All About That Bass” singer and her Spy Kids actor husband welcomed their first daughter, Mikey Moon Trainor, via surrogate on January 18, 2026.
After raising two energetic sons, the couple finally got their wish for a baby girl—and big brothers Riley, 4, and Barry, 2, even helped choose her unique middle name.
For Trainor, who has been vocal about wanting a large brood, this marks another dream realized in what she calls her “whole new life” since becoming a mom.
A Surrogacy Journey Born From Medical Necessity
Trainor took to Instagram on January 20 to share the joyful news with fans, opening up about why surrogacy was the right choice for expanding their family.
Our baby girl Mikey Moon Trainor has finally made it to the world thanks to our incredible, superwoman surrogate. We are forever grateful to all the doctors, nurses, teams who made this dream possible.
The Grammy winner didn’t shy away from explaining the medical reasoning behind their decision, emphasizing that safety was the top priority.
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’s transparency about surrogacy helps normalize alternative paths to parenthood. Many women face medical complications that make pregnancy risky or impossible, and choosing surrogacy is an act of love, not limitation.
Big Brothers Get Naming Rights
Perhaps the sweetest detail? Riley and Barry weren’t just excited spectators—they actively participated in welcoming their sister.
Riley and Barry have been so excited, they even got to choose her middle name.
The boys selected “Moon” as their baby sister’s middle moniker, creating the celestial name Mikey Moon Trainor. It’s unconventional, memorable, and perfectly on-brand for the playful, music-loving family.
Involving siblings in major family decisions like naming can help reduce jealousy and increase bonding when a new baby arrives. Riley and Barry now have ownership over their sister’s identity from day one.
“I Need Some Daughters”: A Dream Realized
For Trainor, Mikey’s arrival represents the fulfillment of a long-held desire she’s discussed openly in multiple interviews.
In a February 2025 feature with PEOPLE, the pop star was candid about her hopes for gender balance in her growing family.
I always wanted a family. Check. Now I need some daughters.
The 32-year-old has never been shy about her family ambitions. Back in 2021, she told PEOPLE she was ready for three more kids. By 2023, during her pregnancy with Barry, that number had crystallized.
Each kid’s going to bring a new version of me that I think is going to be badass — so I need four, at least!
With three children now and a track record of manifesting her goals, don’t be surprised if Trainor and Sabara aren’t done expanding their party of five just yet.
How Motherhood Rebooted Her Career
While many artists worry that having children will derail their careers, Trainor experienced the opposite—motherhood became her creative catalyst.
When I became a mom, my career had a whole new life. I had a whole reboot, and it’s because my kids made me want to be the best version of me.
Far from slowing down, Trainor is accelerating. Her seventh studio album, Toy With Me, drops April 24, 2026. She’ll kick off her Get In Girl Tour in June—all while caring for three children under five.
The singer, who authored parenting book Dear Future Mama, sees her professional success and motherhood as intertwined rather than competing.
I’m not peaking. I’ve just begun.
From “All About That Bass” To All About That Family
Trainor’s journey from breakout pop star to confident mother of three reflects a hard-won evolution she doesn’t take for granted.
I never thought I could be a pop star because I didn’t believe in myself. Now 19-year-old Meghan putting out ‘All About that Bass’ is stoked; she’s so proud, like, ‘I didn’t know you could do that.’ It took 10 years to become brave, but I’m finally thriving.
She and Sabara married in 2018, creating a foundation built on mutual support. The former child star has stepped back from acting to focus on family, allowing Trainor to pursue her demanding career while maintaining work-life balance.
What’s Next For The Growing Trainor-Sabara Clan
For now, the family of five is soaking up precious bonding time with their newest addition.
We are over the moon in love with this precious girl. We are going to enjoy our family time now, love you all.
Trainor’s approach to balancing superstardom with hands-on parenting offers an inspiring blueprint for modern mothers. She proves that you don’t have to choose between career ambition and family dreams—with the right support system, you can build both.
As baby Mikey Moon settles into life with her doting parents and excited big brothers, Trainor continues defying expectations. She’s managing a household with three kids under five, preparing to release new music, and gearing up for a major tour.
And if her past declarations are any indication, she might not be finished growing her family just yet.
