Jake, a 42-year-old writer, actor and director, transitioned 12 years ago and Hannah, who’s 33 and works in finance, transitioned seven years ago, having both always felt they were born in the wrong body. And after becoming one of the UK’s most high-profile transgender couples, earlier this year they became parents via a surrogate, using embryos created with Jake’s eggs and donor sperm. Their decision to speak publicly about having Millie – including being filmed for a fly-on-the-wall Channel 4 documentary earlier this year – is, they say, rooted in a desire to give hope to other trans people that they, too, can have a family.
