Genie Mai is officially a mom.
I get excited about this.
The real Cohost and her hubby rapper Geez real name Jay Jenkins welcomed their first child together. This is the 42-year old’s first child and the rapper’s fourth. And in November, Jeannie opened up to E. T. About the lead-up to bringing baby Jenkins into the world.
My guest co-host Jeannie Mai Jenkins getting down in her 32-week checkup. So we know the baby’s healthy. So glad about that. But you still don’t know what you’re having.
She then explained why they decided to not find out the sex of the baby ahead of time.
I don’t want to because I realized, Michelle, how many surprises do you have in life? True. This is the ultimate one.
The Dancing With the Stars Alum first announced her pregnancy back in September during an episode of her talk show.
Our Real FAM is growing, and it’s been really hard to keep all of these secrets for you guys. I am pregnant. This is like the craziest moment ever.
After. Breaking the happy news, Gini reflected on her journey to motherhood with her cohosts.
It feels surreal because this is the same home where I said so many defiant things. 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 been a mom. And there are 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. Yes, and that love can change you.
Genie went on to share her appreciation for her TV family as she expands her real life.
One, I got to come home and tell the girls that have always accepted me at every stage of my life have been through my ups and downs and have always encouraged me to a place where I feel like you all individually always told me to that if I wanted to be a mom, yes, I’m going to argue with you.
The TV personality and the put-on rapper tied the knot in March in Jeez’s hometown of Atlanta, a year after getting engaged. Soon after, Jeannie gushed to et over married life.
Oh, my God. Married life feels 1000% different than when we were dating in the greatest way. I loved our dating life because we spent such concentrated, quality time getting to know each other and making sure that we were right for each other. But now being married, it’s even more handheld with such delicacy and such thoughtfulness because we’re in our 40s and we both grew up in households that weren’t healthy marriages, and we also have never seen what that looks like. But in our intuition, we all know what we want. We want to feel trusted, we want to feel loved, we want to feel safe, we want to feel cuddled. We want to feel the romance and so the fact that I’m doing that with a partner that is like-minded to me is the best part of my life.
Congratulations to the happy couple on their new bundle of joy.
