Adrienne Bailon and her husband, Israel Houghton, have some Real happy news to share. They are parents to a baby boy.
Ever James ♾
For this child we have prayed
Just to hear our baby cry
Skin to skin and face to face
Heart to heart and eye to eye…
Our baby boy is here & we are so in love! If you have followed our love story… you know that our journey to baby has been very challenging – But God is true to His word and His promises. We have quietly prayed while sitting on this most magnificent secret for the last 9 months. He is worth every tear, every disappointment, every delayed prayer, every IVF cycle, every miscarriage. Everything. All we feel is joy and overwhelming love & gratitude. Grateful to God, to our angel surrogate and to all of our friends and family who have stood with us for over 5 years on this journey. He’s here and we have never been happier to lose sleep!
#HappilyEverHoughton 🤍
Congrats to the new parents! And am I the only one who hopes her son dates Jeannie Mae’s daughter when they grow up?
Loni Love has lost 30 pounds, thanks to Sheryl Underwood, and I love why she did it. Why? To have better sex! Did it work?
Since the comedian admitted that on The Talk and not her old show The Real, we did not get the answer. But she wouldn’t admit that without such a massive smile on her face unless she did!
So congrats to Love on losing the weight and having better sex!
Jeannie Mai is missing from The Real, and that is because she tested positive for COVID-19.
The new mom told her co-hosts that when she got the results as she arrived for work, “I honestly could not believe that was still a thing…the news let you go maskless now inside. I don’t understand.”
That is when Adrienne Bailon explained to her that there is a spike in cases. And there is here in Los Angeles. For the last few weeks, we have averaged around 400 cases a day. This week we shot up to almost 2,500 a day. We got comfortable, let our defenses down, and now the numbers are going back up. Thankfully, hospitalizations and deaths are staying low. Let’s hope it stays that way. So get vaccinated, boosted, wear a mask, and stop whining.
When it comes to Mai, she is waiting to find out if her mother and daughter have it. Once she knows their status, then they will decide who needs to go to a hotel or not. Hopefully, Mama Mai and Monaco, 3 months remain negative.
There are a lot of daytime talk shows that are ending/were canceled this year. Today we learned that there is one more that is joining The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Wendy Williams Show, The Maury Povich Show, Judge Jerry, Dr. Oz, his daughter’s show, The Doctors, Daily Mail TV, and The Nick Cannon Show, and that show is The Real.
Loni Love, who was part of The Real for all 8 seasons, has her theory of why it is ending. The comedian wrote, “In the end The Real cast & crew did everything we could to scale the show down..We shot 7-8 shows in 3 days, no audience, made a conference room into a studio, but in my opinion Covid costs killed this show.. it’s been a great ride and thanks to the viewers for 8 great seasons!”
I think Love nailed it. COVID cost a lot of money, and the shows all lost viewers, and with that, they are going for cheaper replacements like Jennifer Hudson’s show that no one will watch. CBS got creative to save Drew Barrymore’s talk show. They are splitting her hour-long show into two half hours and are letting the local channels air an extra thirty minutes of their own newscast.
Daytime is going to look a whole lot different in the Fall. It will be interesting to see if people are still going to be watching all of these new people and their shows.
On that note, who is replacing Ellen? Why haven’t they announced that yet? Things that make you go, hmmm?
On January 11th, Jeannie Mai announced that her baby with Jeezy had arrived. However, that was all she said. Earlier this week, she revealed that she named it Monaco because the location has a special meaning for her and her husband. Today on The Real, she finally gets real with the gender of her first child. Monaco is a girl.
How does she feel about having a daughter? She told her co-hosts Garcelle Beauvais, Adrienne Houghton, Loni Love, “That’s the part that I’m still just so overwhelmed with, you know. I can’t explain to you how many visions jumped into my head this moment I put that little girl into my hands. I thought about my relationship with Mama Mai. That already, I can’t wait to have that bond with Monaco. I also thought about all the things that I didn’t learn as a little girl, that I can’t wait to teach my daughter now. There’s just so many reasons why raising a little girl is such an honor to me. I would have been happy with anything, but to have Monaco, I can’t tell you, I feel chosen. It’s emotional and I can’t wait to raise a really strong, loving, empathetic, humorous, fashionable, fly, little girl.”
Jeannie and Jeezy will celebrate their first wedding anniversary on March 27th.
