Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Dovolani on unique pregnancy experiences

They were eliminated on last evening's Dancing With the Stars, but Broadway star Marissa Jaret Winokur and her pro partner Tony Dovolani have plenty of positives to look forward to in the coming months -- such as the arrival of three babies! Marissa and Tony sat down with OK! to discuss their unique pregnancy experiences -- Marissa is expecting a baby by surrogate, while Tony and wife Lina await the arrival of a surprise set of twins.

In discussing her experience, Marissa, 35, has nothing but kind words for the woman carrying son Zev (which means 'wolf' in Hebrew). After surviving cancer that required a hysterectomy, a biological child was an option for Marissa, but she needed someone to carry the baby. Surrogacy was the answer for her and husband Judah Miller.

[My surrogate is] the most remarkable woman in the world. 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 shared that although he and Lina were trying for a sibling for daughter Luana, 2 ½, they never expected to find two babies on the ultrasound! The 34-year-old rhythm champion said he'd love to hear any advice on preparing for and raising twins.

We were planning on being pregnant, but we didn’t plan on twins! 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. She’s already pointing to her stomach.

[If] anybody has any suggestions [on twins], by all means, contact me! As a dad, all you can do is be there for your wife and hopefully I can be a great dad.

Marissa's son is due July 15th, Tony expects his boy/girl twins in late August.

I just love these two! I'm so excited for Marissa and Judah and for Tony and Lina!

I'm sure Tony can get some twin tips from his season 5 partner Jane Seymour! :)
