“Iron Chef” Cat Cora & Wife Jennifer Cora Both Pregnant! (Photos)

Posted on March 10, 2009

“Iron Chef America” star Cat Cora and her wife Jennifer Cora are both pregnant! And both women are expecting boys. Read more below on Cat Cora and her partner’s pregnancy. It gets even more interesting!

Cat Cora and wife Jennifer Cora already have two older sons, Caje, 22 months and Zoran, 5, from the same donor as the two boys they are carrying.

Cat Cora, star of Food Network’s “Iron Chef America,” announced Tuesday that she was 4-1/2 months pregnant with a boy.

Cora’s partner Jennifer, with whom she already has two sons, is also pregnant, and due in April, three months before Cora.

“Jennifer and I are thrilled to go through the wonderful experience of pregnancy together. We started the in-vitro process 5 years ago,” said Cora, who is due in July. “This has been a miracle for us and we’ll now have 4 beautiful children.”

So this story is already quite interesting but get this! Cora is carrying Jennifer’s biological child. And their second child, now 23 months old, was conceived using Cora’s egg, but carried by Jennifer.

In Jennifer’s current pregnancy, both women’s embryos were implanted, so they don’t know who the biological mother is, and they say they don’t plan on doing DNA testing to find out.

The same anonymous sperm donor was used for all four pregnancies, making all four kids biologically related.

Wow! Here’s what Cat Cora had to say on her MySpace blog:

“Iron Chef’s Cat Cora has a bigger surprise than the unveiling of her secret ingredient on her hit Food Network show; She’s expecting her third–and fourth–sons! “It’s really crazy!” the chef, 41, tells OK! Most unusual, Cat will give birth three months after her partner, Jennifer Cora, 37. “We decided that having them a year apart is harder than having kids as infants together,” Cat says of their planned pregnancies. Their four children have the same sperm donor but Cat says,” [Jennifer] carried my embryo amd [sic] I carried hers. It’s like surrogating, but obviously all of our kids are equal.”
