“The couple at the time signed a contract at the ART Reproductive Center in Beverly Hills that stated neither could use the embryos without the other’s consent,” the New York Daily News’ Jessica Schladebeck reported. “They split a year later in May 2014.”
Vergara and her ex-fiancé have been locked in a contentious legal battle with Loeb saying he wishes to have the two embryos, whom he has named Emma and Isabella, implanted in a surrogate, while Vergara is demanding they remain frozen. The 41-year-old Loeb has said that he created trusts for them at the time.
On Friday, a Louisiana federal judge granted the 45-year-old Vergara’s motion to dismiss a suit brought by Loeb seeking full custody. According to Schladebeck, the judge “point[ed] out neither parent had ties to the state and that Loeb likely filed there due to Louisiana’s favorable legislation protecting the rights of the unborn children.”
