Candiace Dillard Bassett announced on Monday that she is expecting her first child with husband Chris Bassett.
The announcement comes on the heels of Candiace announcing her exit from the show.
“I am about 13 weeks … so just about into the second trimester. It’s been weird, but also really wonderful, I think, to keep it kind of to ourselves to this point,” Candiace told ET. “Our immediate family knows, my mom — I told my mom on her birthday in February — my dad knows, [Chris’] parents know, my siblings know and that is my core, best friend group, but outside of that it’s just been, like, kind of quietly just growing a bun.”
Candiace had revealed that the couple were going through IVF. Their baby was the result of embryos they had frozen two years ago.
Candiace says her belly looks like a “food baby.”
“I’m bloated … all the time!” she added. “It’s so annoying. … I’ve been able to fool people, I think successfully thus far; now people are gonna be walking– I’ll be in the grocery store and they’ll be looking for the bump, so I’m excited about that.”
