The couple is looking forward to using Gage’s embryo for a process of IVF to conceive a baby. Jeff said on the radio show:
We have five frozen embryos … the next baby will be Gage’s embryo and his strongest embryo is a boy. So hopefully we are going to have a boy...Not yet though, we’re not pregnant yet.

Gage Edward and Jeff Lewis Reveal Lawsuit; Surrogate Mother Made Family Bonds Stronger
It was just the time that Gage Edward and Jeff’s baby had grown to be 19-months old that the surrogate mother, Alexandra Trent, filed a case against the couple. She accused Gage and Jeff of filming her private body parts during the delivery, which was not a part of the agreement they had made about the baby. Alexandra claims to have never consented to anyone on filming her delivery.
The mother had a handful of charges against the gay couple and the cameramen of the show that she had to unveil. She also filed a lawsuit on account that Edward and Jeff had humiliated her on the sets of Flipping Out. She claimed that the humiliation left her deeply damaged. On their show, Jeff had said:
If I was a surrogate, and I had known there was going to be an audience, I probably would have waxed.
Her lawsuit also alleged that the cameramen secretly filmed her, and tricking her saying that they wouldn’t film her. About the lawsuit, Jeff said to The People:
“This is like a blow to the head. We are completely blindsided by this. We are just devastated. I thought we had a nice relationship, a friendship. We treated her like an extended member of the family. So you can imagine this is pretty stunning.”
Jeff later spoke about the mother and said that it is a shame on the mother for muddling a very beautiful experience of having a baby to the ground.

However, the couple has been very positive about the lawsuit now, and they agree that it has made them an even more solid couple, after all the endurance, and brought the family even more in the pond of love and support.
