Oh boy, guess what? Candiace Dillard Bassett is about to embark on an incredible journey. Yep, she’s gonna be a mom! The buzz from The Real Housewives of Potomac is all about her and hubby Chris Bassett expecting their bundle of joy. “It’s been weird, but also really wonderful,” she spills.
So, the “Drive Back” crooner had a little chat with Entertainment Tonight. She’s 13 weeks in, folks—stepping into the second trimester. Candiace got real about keeping the baby news on the DL. It’s been a mix of weird and wonderful, keeping it under wraps. “Our immediate family’s in the loop,” she says. Mom got the news on her birthday back in February. Dad’s in the know, Chris’s folks too, and her siblings. That’s her tribe, her inner circle. But beyond that? It’s been hush-hush, just them and the growing bun.
Now, this little one is Candiace’s first, but Chris? He’s already a dad thrice over from past relationships. They tied the knot back in August 2018, just so you know.
Swipe through her Insta posts, and you’ll see Candiace hasn’t shied away from sharing her parenting prep. She’s been open about counseling sessions with fertility experts and the whole IVF drill. This baby? A miracle from one of the embryos they decided to freeze two years back. Candiace and Chris had this pact, see. They were cool with waiting till the “cut-off date” before jumping into parenthood. But then, Candiace got that itch. You know, that moment when you ask yourself, “Am I ready?” Turns out, she was. It hit her out of the blue. “I just had to … trust the process,” she admits. And so, they took the leap, hand in hand, moving forward with faith.
Big congrats to Candiace and Chris on their upcoming adventure as parents!
Now, switching gears a bit. Let’s talk about Kate Fann, the one bringing us this scoop. She’s nestled in East Tennessee with her husband Casey and their two sons, Quinn and Noah. When she’s not diving into the latest gossip or scrolling through Instagram, you might find her sipping on fine wines, experimenting with makeup, baking something scrumptious, or exploring the Smoky Mountains. Life’s an adventure, after all.
