So they had 3 children together, born by Jen; then, when he was about 40, and she 37, they had another one born via a surrogate; and now, aged 42 and 39, twins born via a surrogate.

There are real moral questions here. This is not a case of "the only way this couple could ever have children' - they had 3 already, before they started on surrogacy. I think this is over-population. And, to be frank, this does smack a bit of polygamy too - for whatever reason, sex with the first wife isn't producing children any more, so they use money to get someone else to bear them, though the legal wife will bring them up.
