In celebrity news, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss is expecting her third child. According to UsMagazine.com, Burruss revealed in November of 2018 that she and her husband were in the surrogacy process. Burruss stated, “We have two embryos that are still left from when we had Ace. So, we have two embryos left and we know they’re girls.” Burruss gave birth to son Ace in 2016 and she also gave birth to Riley, her 17-year-old daughter with her ex-husband, Russell Spencer. This, however, is a different celebrity pregnancy experience for her. She opened up about her nerves and the advice Andy Cohen, who also had a child through surrogacy, gave her. She explained to Busy Phillips, “I had made a comment. I said something like, ‘I guess I’m gonna have a baby mama and he said to me, ‘Don’t you ever say that because you are the mother. And to say she’s your baby’s mom is taking away from you.’ It made me feel better.” Looks like we’ll have a new celebrity baby soon!
