GABBANA ASKS FEMALE FRIEND TO MOTHER HIS CHILD

GABBANA ASKS FEMALE FRIEND TO MOTHER HIS CHILD

Homosexual designer STEFANO GABBANA is set to become a father after asking a female friend to become the surrogate mother of his child through artificial insemination. Italian Gabbana split up with his longterm partner DOMENICO DOLCE last year (05) and is currently in a relationship with a male partner. The 44-year-old says, "My dream is to have a baby, not to adopt one because I am not up to it and I don't feel strong enough. "I want my own child, a biological child, the fruit of my sperm, conceived through artificial insemination because it wouldn't make sense for me to make love to a woman I don't love. "The person I love today is my partner so I am looking for a civilised and refined woman. A week ago I asked a dear friend of mine, who is 12 years younger than me, if she would help. "I asked her, 'Would you like to be the mother of my child?' She was left a bit shocked and the following day telephoned and said she was still shocked but thought it was a great idea."
