2026年10月16日，荷兰首相罗布·耶滕在布鲁塞尔宣布这一消息。照片中，两人面带微笑，相拥而立，手中拿着超声检查图像。
Instagram上发布的帖子写道：‘一个非常特别的小生命即将诞生，2027年见哦，小家伙！’
Rob Jetten, Dutch prime minister, in Brussels, October 16, 2026. In the photo, the couple appear smiling, embracing each other and holding an ultrasound image: "A very special little person will be arriving soon. See you in 2027, little one!" reads the Instagram post dated Monday, October 19.
虽然这类消息在社交媒体上并不罕见，但这次涉及的是荷兰首相罗布·耶滕和他的伴侣——曲棍球运动员尼古拉斯·基南。两人感谢卵子捐赠者和代孕母亲的帮助。
While such announcements are common on social media, this one concerns the Dutch prime minister, Rob Jetten, and his partner, field hockey player Nicolas Keenan. In the post, the two men thank the egg donor and the surrogate mother who made the pregnancy possible.
在荷兰，代孕行为虽被允许，但不得收取费用，也没有具体的法律规范。
In the Netherlands, surrogacy is tolerated, but it cannot be paid for and is not governed by specific laws.
10月19日，耶滕所属的中立进步政党‘民主66’（D66）发表声明称，此次代孕完全符合现行法规：‘这绝不是像国外那样的商业代孕行为，怀孕是通过荷兰提供的试管婴儿技术实现的。’声明还指出，代孕母亲和卵子捐赠者是这对夫妇的熟人。
In a statement released October 19, the prime minister's centrist and progressive party, Democrats 66 (D66), emphasized that the surrogacy respects current regulations: "This is not in any way a commercial surrogacy arrangement, such as those that exist abroad. The pregnancy was made possible through IVF treatment provided in the Netherlands." The statement clarified that the surrogate mother and egg donor are acquaintances of the couple.
该声明并非由首相办公室发布，而是通过Instagram和D66党网站发布的。随着耶滕准备推动代孕法案的讨论，他选择了谨慎行事。
The announcement did not come from the prime minister's office, but was made via Instagram and the D66 party website. As the prime minister prepares to steer debate on a surrogacy bill, Jetten chose to take precautions.
该法案于2023年提交，尽管2025年极右翼政党‘自由党’领导人赫尔特·维尔德斯退出联合政府，法案仍得以保留。该法案旨在为代孕行为制定明确的法律框架。
Submitted in 2023, the proposed law survived the collapse of the government in 2025 when Geert Wilders, leader of the far-right Party for Freedom, left the coalition. The bill seeks to create a clear legal framework for surrogacy.
