The Real co-host, Jeannie Mai, announced on Monday, 20 September 2021, that she’s pregnant and expecting her first child with her husband, rapper Jeezy.
She made the revelation during the daytime show, adding that she is excited despite her reservations about becoming a mum.
Speaking to her fellow co-hosts on the show – Garcelle Beauvais, Loni Love and Adrienne Houghton, she said: “I can definitely say that our real fam is growing. 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!“
Recalling her reasons for not wanting to be pregnant, on the talk show, she said: “It feels surreal because this is the same home that I said so many defiant things. 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 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, and that love can really change you.“

Jeannie Mai and her husband, Jeezy, began dating in 2018, and they got married in an intimate ceremony in Atlanta on 27 March 2021. Their union is Mai’s second marriage as she was married to her ex-husband, Freddy Harteis, in 2007 but got divorced in 2017.
While for rapper Jeezy, it is his first marriage. A month before their wedding, the talk show host found out she was pregnant but had a miscarriage. After the incident, she spoke with Women’s Health and stated that she wondered if she was being punished.
“I wondered if I was being punished. I wondered if I’d jinxed myself or cursed myself. My entire life, I never wanted children. When I say never, I’m talking a hard-stop never.”
One week after their wedding, she took in again.
The “I’m So Hood” crooner is a father of three children from different past relationships, while the child he is expecting with Mia is her first.
