The couple previously opened up in January 2019 about their attempt at expanding their family and how they were onto donor No. 7, but Turchin updated that number in their latest interview. “We went through nine different egg donors, which is rare,” he confessed. “We had to start all over again from the beginning.

Normally, the number’s much higher. So we put both in and once she miscarried, we had to start all over from scratch again this past year.”

Bass and Turchin shared the happy news on their respective Instagram accounts in a TikTok video that announced Two Buns in the Oven in the style of a Halloween-themed horror movie trailer.
The pop singer said they’re “pretty set” on baby names and have been thinking about passing along a family name.
