Weeks After Having a Son, Tom Daley is Spearheading a Surrogacy Documentary for BBC One
The documentary will explore the laws and stigma surrounding surrogacy in both the UK and US.
Just weeks after Olympic diver Tom Daley and his Academy Award-winning husband, Dustin Lance Black, welcomed their son Robert into the world, Daley is spearheading a BBC One docu-film about surrogacy.
The hour-long film will address multiple issues surrounding surrogacy, especially for same-sex couples wishing to have a child.
Daley continues to receive a barrage of hatred and vitriol for having a child with his husband.
Back in April, with his son on the way, Daley said that he gets "tons [of abuse] every day, but at the end of the day, I'm married with a kid on the way and I don't care what anyone says."
The film will also shine a light on surrogacy laws in both the UK and the United States.
In the UK, it is illegal to advertise for or pay a surrogate to carry your baby. The 24 year-old is set to travel to California, where commercial surrogacy is permitted, to speak with a few surrogacy law experts and parents who've used surrogacy in the Golden State.
With the working title Surrogacy, the documentary is set to premiere sometime in 2019.
