Zev Isaac Miller Greets the World
July 25, 2008 by lkatulka
Broadway star Marissa Jaret Winokur and her husband Judah Miller are celebrating the birth of their first child. Marissa’s surrogate gave birth to son Zev Isaac Miller on Tuesday July 22. He weighed 8 lb. 7 oz. and measured 21 inches.
“He’s got a Winokur face and a Miller body,” the proud mama told People magazine.
“My little miracle baby is here and I can’t believe it. I can’t believe I am sitting here next to my baby. This is the one thing that’s been missing from our lives. Now our house is really going to be a home.”
Marissa was diagnosed with cervical cancer seven years ago, a battle which required the removal of her uterus and part of her cervix. However her ovaries remained intact, allowing her to produce a biological child with her husband.
I am so thrilled for this happy family. They’ve travelled a difficult road to get her, and it’s so wonderful to hear how happy they are together.

They may have been eliminated in the most recent episode of Dancing with the Stars, but don’t expect Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Dovolani to shed too many tears. The dance partners have three babies to look forward to in the coming months!
Marissa is expecting a baby boy by a surrogate on July 15, while Tony and wife Lina are preparing for twins in late August. The dance partners sat down with OK! magazine to talk about their unique pregnancy experiences.
“[My surrogate is] the most remarkable woman in the world,” gushed Marissa. “She’s become one of my dearest friends and will be my child’s godmother. We’re super close and I honestly couldn’t feel more pregnant. I feel like I’m the husband waiting for my baby to come. I’m with her that much so we’re very close. She’s changed my faith in the human race because she’s a good person.”
Tony said he and Lina were trying for a sibling for two-year-old daughter Luana, but they didn’t expect to get two!
“We were planning on being pregnant, but we didn’t plan on twins!” he explained. “We didn’t have any help. I guess in her family, a couple of generations removed had twins so it kind of runs in her family. I’m ecstatic about it because I just love being blessed with twins. We’re extremely happy parents and my daughter can’t wait to see the babies.”
With the distraction of the show out of the way, I’m sure this pair will be happy to focus on preparing for their new little ones!

Marissa Jaret Winokur is burning up the floor on Dancing with the Stars, and the hectic schedule has left her with little time for anything else. And that includes getting ready for her son Zev’s arrival in July!
“I’m completely freaking out!” she told People magazine. “I’m so ill-prepared for this baby, I thought for sure that I’d have the nursery done, but DWTS has taken over, and I don’t even have a bassinet!”
But she did manage to fit in a little shopping at Sunday’s Silver Spoon Dog and Baby Buffet. She attended the event with her dance partner Tony Dovolani, fellow DWTS dancer Drew Lachey, and his wife Lea.
“I was literally on a ‘guerilla’ mission to get baby stuff. I told Tony that we were leaving the dance studio for two hours, and that I was going to get things for my baby! There are women that came up to me, and they were like, ‘We’re the baby planners,’ and I was like, ‘Give me your card, and please help me have this baby!’ I learned more about what I need to know about my baby from the first ten tables here then I knew before.”
Aww, I know there’s not much time left but I’m sure Marissa will end up getting organized when she needs to be. Somehow new mothers always do!
