Lance Bass is hoping to be father by “next summer”
The former NSYNC singer and his husband of three years Michael Turchin have been in talks with a potential surrogate for several months, and it seems they have finally reached an agreement as the star believes this weekend could mark the last Father’s Day he spends without a child of his own

He said: “It’s looking like this might be the last Father’s Day that I’m kid-less! We’ll see if the timing’s right. We’re hoping to have a kid next summer, so we’ll just see how everything works out. Who knows what wrenches might be thrown in, so we’re just crossing our fingers that it all works out.”
The 39-year-old musician revealed in April that he and Michael had begun the process of looking for a surrogate, and has praised the woman they eventually chose for being “selfless” in her decision to carry the couple’s baby.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, Lance said: “Our surrogate fell into our laps through our embryologist, who is incredible. She started her own surrogacy company last year. We were meeting with several companies and she said, ‘I know you haven’t decided if you’re going to go with us, but in case you do, I have a girl that’s ready to go now who I think will be perfect.’ We were like, ‘Really?’
“She brought her over the next day and we just loved her. She was so selfless and all about wanting to give that gift to someone. I wanted to cry because it was just so special that someone would do that.”
Lance’s comments come after he previously admitted he and his spouse - whom he married in 2014 - want their surrogate to be part of their lives forever.
He said: "We found the most amazing doctor, surrogate, everything is just great. It's happening, and it's happening quick.
"She lives close to us so we'll be able to see her and be a part of her life and she's going to be a part of our life the rest of our lives."
