Glee’s Becca Tobin, Husband Zach Martin’s Baby in NICU, 5 Weeks Premature

Becca Tobin became a second-time mom ahead of schedule.  

The Glee alum shared that she has welcomed her second child with husband Zach Martin—a baby girl named Meyer June Martin after Tobin’s great-grandfather and grandmother, respectively. While their little one is doing “good,” Meyer is staying in the NICU after arriving more than five weeks premature. 

“My daughter decided to make an early entrance into the world,” Tobin announced on a July 23 episode of her podcast, The LadyGang. “She’s here.”

Tobin and Martin decided to move forward with inducing their surrogate Katie early, as Katie was experiencing preeclampsia, which Tobin noted could be a “pretty dangerous thing, definitely for Katie, and then sometimes for the baby.”

“The doctor was like, ‘You know what? At this point, the baby is cooked pretty nicely,'” the podcaster explained of how they made the decision to deliver their early arrival at 5 pounds, 9 ounces, adding, “She was supposed to be born August 26, and she was born July 19.”
