Oh boy, guess what? Candiace Dillard Bassett is about to embark on a wild ride into motherhood! Yep, you heard it right. The star from “The Real Housewives of Potomac” spilled the beans that her and Chris Bassett are expecting a little bundle of joy. She described the whole experience as “weird, but also really wonderful.”
In an exclusive chit-chat with Entertainment Tonight, she let slip that she’s 13 weeks down the road. Basically, she’s tiptoeing into the second trimester. Candiace opened up about keeping the baby news under wraps. She said it felt odd yet amazing to keep it to themselves for a bit. Only the inner circle knew – her mom got the news as a birthday gift in February, her dad, Chris’s folks, her siblings, and her ride-or-die friends. But beyond that? Mum’s the word, as they were just “quietly just growing a bun.”
Now, here’s the kicker: This little peanut will be Candiace’s first, but Chris is already a dad to three from past relationships. The duo tied the knot back in the hot summer of August 2018.
Swipe through Candiace’s Instagram, and you’ll catch glimpses of her journey. From heart-to-hearts with fertility experts to the nitty-gritty of IVF prep, it’s all there. The baby they’re expecting? A miracle from an embryo they decided to freeze two years back.
Candiace got real about the whole embryo situation. She and Chris were cool with letting them chill indefinitely. That is, until her biological clock started ticking louder. She always wondered how she’d know when she was ready. Turns out, it hit her out of the blue. She realized waiting for the perfect moment was like waiting for a bus in a no-bus zone. It was time to trust her doctors, dive into the process, and embrace the journey with faith.
So, hats off and a massive congrats to Candiace and Chris on their upcoming adventure as parents!
