Scott Hoying and Mark Hoying are parents!
The 34-year-old Pentatonix star and his husband confirmed that they welcomed a baby girl via surrogate earlier in the month.
“It really was beautiful. It was this overwhelming flashback of all these memories growing up and being like, ‘Am I going to find love? Is gay marriage going to be legal? Am I going to be able to have a kid?’ ” Scott said in an interview confirming the news to People.
“The process of us having a child took four or five years. It’s been a long time coming and just looking at her, I started crying because it was just such a beautiful thing that I feel really, really lucky.”
And her name is…Birdie James. Watch the reveal video!

“The first song I ever learned to sing when I was a little, little kid was ‘Put On a Happy Face,’ from Bye Bye Birdie,” Scott explained of the name, adding that Mark‘s middle name is James.
“We wanted something that was musical, but not too on the nose. And we also just loved that it felt… Feels like it could work at any age.”
Scott‘s sister Lauren was the couple’s egg donor.
“I literally cannot believe how selfless she is. She was so passionate about doing it. I love my sister so much, and I cannot thank her enough for giving the gift of life,” he explained.
“I just wish that I had more idols that were queer and gay in media growing up that I could see families and be like, ‘Oh, my gosh, there’s an example of something I can have.’ There wasn’t really a lot of that growing up. That’s why it’s really important for us that we are always posting our love… We always want to just show we are thriving, we are in love, and we have a beautiful baby, and it’s possible. And it also hopefully moves the needle for people who are like, ‘Gay, people shouldn’t be parents,'” he added.
At the end of 2024, Scott revealed that they were closer to finding a surrogate, sharing that they were hoping to become dads in 2025.
Scott and Mark got married in July 2023, and even wrote a children’s book together, “How Lucky Am I?”
