NEW YORK â€" Giuliana and Bill Rancic are having a baby.

The child will be born later this summer via a gestational surrogate, meaning the baby will be genetically theirs but carried by another woman.

The couple teamed with the Melman siblings to open popular Chicago restaurant RPM Italian in February of this year.

E! News first reported the news that they are expecting.

Last fall, 37-year-old Giuliana announced she had breast cancer and later underwent a double mastectomy. She did not need chemotherapy.

Giuliana is the host of E! News. Bill is a 40-year-old entrepreneur and motivational speaker who won the first season of Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice.”

Together, they co-star in a reality show on the Style Network called “Giuliana & Bill.” Much of the show has been devoted to their fertility issues.
