Actress Ginnifer Goodwin revealed that she had offered her husband Josh Dallas’ sperm to a close friend who was thinking of becoming a single parent.

In an interview with SiriusXM’s Pop Culture Spotlight, Goodwin shared with host Jessica Shaw, “By the way, I offered his sperm to one of my best friends who was gonna be a single mom. And my husband and the best friend were the ones who were like, ‘This could lead to complications.’ And I was like, ‘I just feel like you need to procreate.'”

She continued to reveal, “At a point, I was like, ‘No, but seriously, we could arrange this. And then there would be more little Josh’s in the world.’ And like, I love that picture of [what] people needing Josh’s would be. His best friend and the husband were like, ‘Wow, that’s really sweet Ginny. Like what happens?’ And then they explained like all the logistics and I was like, ‘Look, there’s turkey basters.’ It’s not like you’re not gonna be in the kid’s life. Like you’re in my best friend’s life.” 

Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas, both 43, in 2014, having met on the set of ABC’s Once Upon a Time. They have two children together- sons Oliver Finlay, 7, and Hugo Wilson, 5.

In a December 2020 interview with People, Dallas gushed about his wife. “It’s extraordinary because she is, literally, the greatest mother that I know. It’s extraordinary to have your partner, who you’ve known all this time, blossom into this woman … who is so nurturing, so caring, and just so cool. She’s so cool and she’s a cool mom. It’s great.”

He also proudly shared a story of his then 11-month-old son Oliver growing up, “Every day is a milestone, like pulling himself up, walking around, holding onto things. He can climb up the stairs like a ninja. It’s just every day there’s something that’s a milestone that amazes you. Like holding his own bottle — that amazes you as a parent.”
