'The Day After Tomorrow' star and his wife are the biological parents of
twins due to be born via a surrogate mother later this year, and the excited
couple have just learned the sex of the babies.
Quaid announced at an Austin charity event he was hosting on Saturday
(09.06.07): "We finally know the sexes of these sweet little children coming
into the world - we've seen pictures of them. One of them was a boy and one
of them was a girl."
The twins will be born in November to a "gestational carrier" - a woman who
carries another couple's baby conceived by the parents' own egg and sperm.
Quaid and Texas real estate agent Kimberley, 35, married on July 4 2004.
The 53-year-old already has a 15-year-old son, Jack Henry, with his actress
ex-wife Meg Ryan. The couple divorced after 10 years in 2001. 'The Big Easy'
star was also married to actress P.J. Soles between 1978 and 1983.
Quaid is currently filming 'The Express'. The movie follows the true story
of Ernie Davis, the first black American football player to win the Heisman
Trophy - given to the most outstanding US college football player.
Davis' NFL career was tragically cut short by leukaemia.
The film is scheduled for release in 2009.
