Ms. Rachel Shares Heartwarming News of Her New Daughter Born Through Surrogacy
On April 8, the beloved YouTuber took to Instagram to share a touching family milestone. She posted a heartfelt selfie featuring herself and baby Susannah, showcasing a tender moment without her signature overalls or pink headband. Instead, Ms. Rachel donned a cozy red-and-white plaid shirt, lovingly gazing at her newborn, who was peacefully sleeping on her chest.
This marks the first glimpse of the couple’s adorable mini-me, and it’s also the moment Ms. Rachel officially announced the expansion of their family! In her heartfelt caption, she expressed her gratitude for the surrogate who carried Susannah, clarifying that she did not experience the pregnancy herself. Although the identity of the surrogate remains private, Ms. Rachel emphasized that she is now a cherished part of their family.
“We welcomed sweet baby Susannah into the world! We are so in love! Sometimes timing isn’t what you plan and the road to get there is bumpier than you expect, but when you hold your little ones you know… I’m meant to be your mama. I was unable to carry this pregnancy for medical reasons, and we were blessed to have a surrogate who gave us the most precious gift possible. We are now all family forever. We have immense gratitude and a deep bond. It’s been a truly beautiful experience. I’m in awe of her.”
Since tying the knot in 2016, the couple has been navigating parenthood together. They are already proud parents to a son named Thomas, who is their precious rainbow baby, born after experiencing a heart-wrenching miscarriage. In her announcement, Ms. Rachel expressed heartfelt appreciation for Aron, calling him “the best husband and dada,” showcasing their strong partnership.
YouTuber Expresses Appreciation for Her Husband’s Support and Love
Baby Susannah is not the only family member who has recently received public affection from Ms. Rachel. Her husband, known as Mr. Rachel and formally as Aron Accurso, has been an integral part of her YouTube journey, often participating in her videos. With his background as a Broadway composer, he adds a unique flair to her content. In mid-March, Ms. Rachel took to social media to express her love and gratitude for Aron’s unwavering support of their family life and dreams.
“My co-creator, co-pilot, and co-producer—working tirelessly behind the scenes. There’s no Ms. Rachel without Mr. Aron. @aronaccurso Thank you for making my dreams come true, babe! (And of course love of my life, best friend, soulmate! And amazing dada),” Ms. Rachel wrote in an emotional Instagram post on March 19.
What’s Next for Ms. Rachel’s Toddler Content Creation Journey?
As Rachel Griffin and Aron Accurso embrace their new family dynamic with the arrival of baby Susannah, many parents and little ones may be curious about the future of her content on YouTube! It’s worth noting that Ms. Rachel has already been on a brief hiatus from uploading new videos. Her last upload, a fun hide-and-seek activity featuring the beloved Elmo, was released at the beginning of January. However, she made a significant debut on Netflix later that month, showcasing a curated playlist of her videos for an even wider audience. While she has maintained a presence on Instagram with shorter videos, her content has ranged from helpful potty training tips to advocacy posts for the safety of Palestinian children and families.
Recently, Ms. Rachel disclosed that her break from content creation was due to personal family matters. She addressed inquiries about her absence in the comments of her post praising Aron, assuring followers that her hiatus wasn’t connected to Netflix, but rather personal obligations. Two users had expressed concern about the lack of new YouTube videos, prompting her responses.
“I’m sorry. We’ve had some family things to attend to. Nothing to do with Netflix, as that is content from YouTube,” Ms. Rachel replied to one comment. In another reply, she simply stated: “I’m sorry. We’ve had some family things to attend to.”
While it remains uncertain if these family matters pertained to the surrogacy process, the announcement of baby Susannah was certainly a delightful surprise for fans. So, WHEN can we expect her return to YouTube? As she likely enjoys precious moments with her newborn, only time will reveal when she will be back to creating content!
Congratulations to Ms. Rachel and Aron on their expanding family!
