So, did anyone else watch the season 12 premiere of American Idol last night? Did you see the loads of talent that hit the stage? No?

Well, how about the horrible singers that always end up in front of the judges? Still no?

Well, did you see Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj consistently attempt to shade each other?

Yeah, I thought as much.

Well, while those two were acting kind of childish (and honestly hilarious), another person connected to the series announced their big child news: former judge Kara DioGiardi is having a baby!

She and her husband, Mike McCuddy are having a son via a surrogate. They’ve tried for years naturally (it was the main reason she left the show a while back — the stress of it all wasn’t helping) and felt this was the best option.

“I wanted a child and there was no way I could get pregnant under the stress of eighteen-hour work days and live TV,” she wrote about her decision to quit the show. “Leaving was painful and there will always be a part of me that wanted to stay. But my desire to be in control of my destiny was larger than my need to be a household name.”

They’ve even picked a name out: Greyson James Carroll McCuddy.

Congratulations to the happy family!
