Jeannie Mai Jenkins and Jeezy are expecting their first child together.
The co-host of The Real shared the news both on the show and in an interview with Women’s Health. The couple decided they wanted to start a family roughly a year ago.
“Jeezy and I have been kind of saving this and hiding this for five months,” she said in the interview. “So, we’re relieved to finally share the news.”
On TV, Jeannie explained that “our Real fam is growing,” and revealed she never intended to be a mom until later in life. As she said on the show, “love can really change you.”
“And falling in love with Jeezy, meeting someone who also didn’t feel safe in their life, we began to really create a place where our happiness spelled out what safe looked like around us,” she said. “So, as soon as you feel safe, in a healthy relationship, all of a sudden you start having visions and dreams and for both of us at the same time, it would be becoming parents, having kids.”
