Back in may it was uncovered that Sherri Shepherd's estranged husband Lamar Sally had moved to California and filed for legal separation pending the birth of their baby via surrogate [click here if you missed that].
Now Lamar is claiming he was blindsided after Sherri went ahead and filed for divorce…
From People Magazine
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Sally says that he and Shepherd agreed to have a child via surrogate – using Sally's sperm and a donor egg after doctors found that Shepherd's eggs were not viable – within a year of their 2011 wedding.
"[Sherri] said, 'I will love the baby like it's mine,'" says Sally.
Then six months into the pregnancy, he says the star – who recently weathered a tough custody battle over her 9-year-old son, Jeffrey, with ex-husband Jeff Tarpley – blindsided him with the news that she wanted a divorce.
Still, "she never said she didn't want the baby," says Sally.Sherri is moving forward with the divorce and has not had contact with the baby at all.
