Our Jeannie Gives Birth to Her 1st Child with Husband Jeezy!

Welcome to the world, Baby Jenkins!

Tuesday on Instagram, our very own Jeannie Mai Jenkins dropped the exciting news that she gave birth to her first child with husband Jeezy!

Posting a photo of a baby blanket covered in footprints with the nametag "Baby Jenkins" nearby, our “The Real” co-host wrote, “I asked God for a life of love and happiness. He sent me my family.”

“Baby Jenkins is here,” she added.

On today’s episode, our ladies — including Loni Love, Garcelle Beauvais, and Adrienne Houghton — also revealed the exciting news and gave Baby J a special shout-out!

“We have some exciting news. We have a special announcement. Baby Jenkins has arrived!” Loni said. “Jeannie gave birth to her baby and both mom and baby are healthy and fine.”

“We are so happy for her and Jeezy, and we can’t wait to meet that boo boo!” Loni added.

Though Jeannie is keeping the name and sex of her bundle of joy a secret, we can’t wait to see photos of the adorable tot!

Jeannie first revealed her pregnancy on our Season 8 premiere when she opened up her trench coat, revealing a burgeoning baby bump!

“Season 8 is really poppin’,” Loni exclaimed, with Ade adding, “That’s right, and we are expecting great things!”

That’s when Jeannie confirmed, “Absolutely, and I can definitely say that our Real Fam is growing, and it’s been really hard to keep all of these secrets from you guys because we’ve had so much to reveal here at the show, including the fact that I am pregnant!”

When asked how it feels to share her announcement, Jeannie admitted it was “surreal because [‘The Real’] is the same home that I said so many defiant things [about wanting children or not].”

“You know, I was like, ‘I know exactly what I want, I know exactly what kind of woman I want to be,’ and I always said I’d never be a mom. And there’s so many reasons now that are coming to fruition as to why I would have said that then, but I do know that you never say never, and that love can really change you, and I’m so thankful to be on a show that’s really helped me to grow and to evolve and to see myself differently than I would have ever imagined seeing myself,” she continued.

In a September interview with Women’s Health, Jeannie revealed that she suffered a miscarriage soon after finding out she was pregnant, a month before her and Jeezy’s March 27, 2021, wedding.

“I wondered if I was being punished. I wondered if I’d jinxed myself or cursed myself,” she said about previously not wanting children. “My entire life, I never wanted children. When I say never, I’m talking a hard-stop never.”

However, a week after their wedding, Jeannie found out she was pregnant again at a doctor’s appointment for her IVF treatments.

“It was the most beautiful sign that anything’s possible, that you’re not in control, and God has a plan,” she said.
