DANCING WITH THE STARS - WINOKUR'S BOND WITH SURROGATE MOTHER

WINOKUR'S BOND WITH SURROGATE MOTHER

Actress and DANCING WITH THE STARS contestant MARISSA JARET WINOKUR has become best friends with the surrogate mother carrying her first child.
The 35-year-old and her husband, King Of The Hill writer Judah Miller, opted for a surrogate birth after the actress underwent a hysterectomy in 2000 to help her beat cervical cancer. The procedure robbed her of the chance to carry a child herself - but she was able to freeze some of her eggs.
The couple can't wait to become parents in the summer - and former Broadway star Winokur reveals she has developed a close bond with the woman carrying her child.
She says, "It's been a long journey. We never thought we would have biological child so it's definitely a miracle. (She) has become one of my dearest friends; we're super close and I honestly couldn't feel more pregnant myself."
