In May 2016, Liu opened up about her decision to choose gestational surrogacy. “It just seemed like the right option for me because I was working and I didn’t know when I was going to be able to stop,” Liu, in her 40s at the time, told People. “I decided that was probably the best solution for me, and it turned out to be great.”
She also told TODAY that the key for her was asking for help when she needed it. “I asked for a lot of help and I wasn’t shy about it,” Liu explained. “I didn’t have an ego about taking care of him. I want him to be comfortable when he’s with me and not with me. When we go to set, there’s a community taking care of him. It’s good because he sees different faces.”
Liu added that there is no correct formula for what a perfect family is, and that loving your child is what matters most. “That isn’t necessarily getting married, having a child and moving to the suburbs. It’s about how you love your child and how you take care of them.”
In the past, Liu has kept her romantic relationships pretty private. She has been romantically linked to George Clooney, Noam Gottesman, Zach Helm (who she was engaged to at one point), and Will McCormack, as per Us Weekly. She also dated Israeli hedge fund billionaire Noam Gottesman in the early 2010s, but they cut things off in 2014.
Liu has not disclosed the identity of her baby’s father, but why should it matter? She’s a caring mother, and is loves her family exactly the way it is. According to the Single Mother Guide, 80 percent of single-parent families are headed by mothers.
