Sunny Leone confesses: Why she did not conceive herself, instead opted for surrogacy? And how much she paid?

Parenthood is a journey that transforms lives, and for actor and entrepreneur Sunny Leone, it has been one filled with love, learning, and unexpected moments. Known for her bold choices both on and off-screen, Sunny recently got candid about the emotional and logistical side of becoming a parent. Sunny and Daniel's family grew with the adoption of their daughter Nisha in 2017, followed by the birth of their twin boys, Noah and Asher, through surrogacy in 2018.

Sunny Leone opens about her kids and surrogacy

The actress recently graced her appearance at the new episode of Soha Ali Khan's podcast All About Her. In the latest episode, Sunny opened up about adoption, surrogacy, and the deeply personal decisions that led to her becoming a mother of three.


In the episode, Sunny shared how her parenting journey began with a strong desire to adopt a child. Interestingly, she revealed that the very same day she was scheduled for her IVF procedure, she and her husband Daniel Weber were matched with a baby girl through the adoption agency. This coincidence marked a major and emotional turning point in their journey.

Sunny also spoke openly about her decision to opt for surrogacy. She acknowledged that choosing not to carry a pregnancy was a personal and intentional choice. For her, surrogacy provided a path to parenthood that felt right, and she’s never looked back.

When asked about the costs involved, Sunny explained that they ensured the surrogate mother was well-compensated. Sunny shared, "There was a weekly fee. Her husband also got money. They would take off days, so she got money for that. We paid so much that she bought a house and had a beautiful lounge wedding."

The podcast also features renowned gynaecologist Dr. Kiran Coelho, who joined the discussion to talk about women’s reproductive health and the various paths to parenthood. Together, they highlighted the many challenges and emotional layers involved in these decisions, especially for women navigating motherhood through alternative methods.

For the unversed, Sunny often shares glimpses of her family life on social media, whether it’s birthdays, school events, or casual moments.
