So when I seriously heard this news today, I was beyond ecstatic. First off, I look up to Giuliana as a role model AS the type of woman I want to be career wise from what I see through various media outlets. She's a very strong, independent woman who can not only give great interviews, but intimately connects with every single person she talks to.
I was truly inspired by Giuliana when I saw her episode of E!'s True Hollywood Story. Not only did it show her growth and hard work to get to where she's at in her career, but the struggles she's faced in regards to health and having a family of her own. I kind of followed the story of Giuliana and her husband Bill Rancic when I used to have the Style network, but hearing more about it in depth through her THS, I was definitely rooting for them. Guiliana has definitely been through a lot lately in regards to her health, which included being diagnosed with breast cancer last year and undergoing a successful double mastectomy.
Today, both Guiliana and Bill confirmed that they are expecting their first child late summer via a gestational surrogate, genetically Rancic's child. "We are so thrilled that our prayers have been answered. We are absolutely ecstatic to be sharing this with everyone who has been following our journey. We received an incredible amount of love and prayers from viewers around the world and we want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of them for their love."
The couple was on the Today show earlier in an interview with Ann Curry. Though they already know the sex of the child, they are seeing how long they can keep it a secret for. What’s great about Bill and Giuliana is that they are true advocates for their struggles and want to spread the word as well as provide support to those undergoing breast cancer and infertility. Despite all the hardships they have had to endure, both have remained positive which is not only inspiring, but heartfelt. Congratulations to the beautiful couple!
