Queer Eye star Tan France has announced that he and his husband Rob France are expecting their second child together.

The fashion designer, 39, announced the news this afternoon on the podcast Milk Drunk and teased that the baby is due via surrogate "not so long from now".

Tan and his husband Rob - who have been married since 2007 - are already parents to one-year-old son Ismail France, who was born via surrogate in July 2021.

"We're expecting our second baby. We are over the moon. We have wanted this for a long time. We always knew we wanted multiple [children]," Tan said on the podcast.

He wrote: "Hard to believe it was two years ago today we announced Ismail was on his way! And today - we couldn't be prouder to share that he's going to be a big brother!"

Tan continued the caption by writing: "Becoming dads has been our greatest joy, and we are so excited to grow our family with the help of our wonderful surrogate."

"I'm excited to share more about our journey through surrogacy, becoming dads of two and a few choice words for anyone with opinions on our choices," he added.

Tan is best known for providing fashion advice on the popular Netflix reality show, which also stars Jonathan Van Ness and Bobby Berk. The reboot launched back in 2018.

He is also the co-host of fashion design competition Next In Fashion alongside model Gigi Hadid. The show debuted in 2020 and recently returned for its second series.
