Tim Fisher lives in Montclair, New Jersey, with his longtime lover Scott Davenport and their daughter Kari, 3, and son Fritz, 1. The children, biologically Fisher's, were conceived via surrogate mothers. Fisher is a stay-at-home dad: "I didn't just want to become a parent. I wanted a family. I wanted the hands-on experience." Davenport admits, "I was skeptical. But becoming parents...
