Kara DioGuardi welcomes first child

OHMYGOSSIP — Kara DioGuardi is a mommy! The former American Idol judge, 42, and her husband Mike McCuddy welcomed a son on Thursday, Jan. 31 in Los Angeles.

Greyson James Carroll McCuddy was born to the couple via gestational surrogate at 1:01 p.m. He weighs 8 lbs., 10 oz. and measures 20¾ inches long, according to People magazine.

DioGuardi — who endured miscarriages and failed IVF attempts while she and McCuddy explored other paths to parenthood, including adoption and surrogacy — recently said she could not be more grateful to their surrogate.

“She’s given us an incredible gift,” Kara said.
