Fast & Furious star Jordana Brewster welcomes a baby via surrogate
The actress already has a son, Julian, two.
Huge congratulations are in order for Fast & Furious actress Jordana Brewster and husband Andrew Form, as they've welcomed their second son.
Rowan Brewster-Form arrived via gestational surrogate on 9th June, and will join big brother Julian, whom the pair also had through a surrogate in 2013. PEOPLE broke the happy news of Rowan's birth after getting exclusive confirmation from the couple's representatives.
Speaking after the arrival of her first son three years ago, Jordana, 36, opened up about how she was finding motherhood, telling Wonderwall, 'At every age you're like, "This is the best age! No, this is the best age". But now this is my favorite age, of course, because he's responding so much.'
When asked if she'd like the expand her family, the actress responded, 'Absolutely'.
'I say two or three,' she shared before Rowan's arrival. 'Because there's always the possibility of twins.'

Speaking to Refinery 29 in 2015, she explained, 'I can't protect him [Julian] from everything out there, but I do my best. I use bamboo diapers, which are biodegradable and all-natural.'
'I also received a lot of help from Maia James, the cofounder of Gimme the Good Stuff. She helped me find cribs and mattresses that were nontoxic. Now that Julian can stand up and gnaws on his crib, I'm very grateful we went natural. It brings me peace of mind.'
She appears to have a similar attitude when it comes to her sons' eating habits, adding to Popsugar in 2016, 'What I like to do in LA is that go to the farmers market. I feel like everything tastes better, like the avocados are so fresh and delicious and the eggs are much more delicious.'
'I think your kid imitates what you do as a parent. So if I show him mommy's eating avocado, he'll want to eat avocado too. So I think I like to lead by example as much as I can.'
We're sure Rowan will be following in the footsteps of his mum and older brother, and we can't wait to see the first snap of the little cutie.
Congratulations, Jordana!
