Candiace Dillard Bassett, alum of “Real Housewives of Potomac,” is expecting her first child with husband Chris Bassett, and she shared her journey and readiness for motherhood in an interview. After undergoing IVF and deciding she was ready, the couple successfully became pregnant using an embryo they had previously frozen.
Candiace Dillard Bassett, a former star of “Real Housewives of Potomac,” is expecting her first child with husband Chris Bassett, following her departure from the show after six seasons and a documented IVF journey.
Candiace Dillard Bassett, a familiar face from *Real Housewives of Potomac*, has a bun in the oven. She’s expecting her first child with hubby Chris Bassett. “I’m about 13 weeks along,” she spilled to *Entertainment Tonight* on a sunny Monday, April 15. It’s been their little secret until now, shared only with their closest circle.
The Bassetts tied the knot back in 2018. Chris already has three kids from past relationships. Candiace, now 37, had always dreamt of having a baby with Chris before he hit the big 5-0. But, she wasn’t quite ready until recently.
How did she know it was time? “It just hit me,” she confessed. She woke up one day, realizing she’d never feel 100% ready. It was time to trust her doctors and leap into the process, anxiety and all.
Meanwhile, the celebrity world buzzes with baby news for 2024. *Too Hot to Handle*’s Emily Miller and Cam Holmes are also expecting. They shared their joyous news of a rainbow baby on New Year’s Day.
In January, Candiace took the next step and went through with embryo implantation. Two weeks later, the call came. “You’re pregnant,” their doctor announced at 8 a.m., marking the end of a year filled with injections and hope.
This joyous update follows Candiace’s recent announcement of her departure from *RHOP* after six seasons. She’s ready for a new chapter, filled with gratitude for the growth and friendships she’s found on the show.
Candiace’s exit from the show isn’t a goodbye but a “see you later” to her Bravo fans. Her decision came after a rocky season with co-star Robyn Dixon, who also revealed her departure from the series. Robyn shared on her podcast, “Reasonably Shady,” that she was “fired” after eight seasons.
So, as Candiace embarks on this exciting journey of motherhood, she leaves behind a legacy of memorable moments on *RHOP*. But with new beginnings on the horizon, who knows what adventures await?
