Pregnant Man and His Wife Split

Thomas Beatie’s life is fairly changeable, and there’s another change in the pipeline: he and his wife are separated.

Beatie, known as the first man officially to bear children, spoke of a split with his 9-year long wife Nancy when taping The Doctors, a syndicated TV show. His other massive news was that he had undergone a gender reassignment surgery that completely made him a man.

Thomas Beatie, 38, was born female but legally adopted a male identity though he was still retaining the reproductive organs he had from birth. In 2007 pictures showing his bearded face and a baby bump made him a one-of-a-kind person.

His wife Nancy, 49, bore two children in her first marriage, but a hysterectomy made her unable to bear any more. Nevertheless, they gave birth to two mutual children.

Every marriage goes through good and bad patches, said Beatie, and right now they are having a rough-weather period that led to a separation. His wife hasn’t even seen the after-operation Thomas, she has a surprise in store!

The Doctors featuring Beatie will be on on May 7.
