“Margot truly is the love of our lives,” Welker wrote in an email to the “Today” show at the time. “Seeing her precious face and looking into her eyes has made every minute of our journey.”

Welker added that she and Hughes, a marketing executive, stayed in a hospital room next to their surrogate’s.

“We stayed in rooms next to each other and visited throughout so that we and little Margot could thank her for bringing Margot into the world,” Welker explained.

Welker and Hughes met through a mutual friend in 2014 and married three years later at The Hyatt at the Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia, Penn.
