Happy Birthday, Wilde Wolf Fife Alexander Somers Cooper! The son of Eve and Maximillion Cooper is celebrating his 1st birthday today.
The proud parents took to their respective Instagram pages to send birthday wishes to their tiny tot.
“Wilde’s #1stbirthday,” Eve captioned a photo of Wilde with his birthday cake. She added the hashtags, “tears”, “joy” , and “happiness”.
Maxmillion shared the same sentiment, writing, “Happy 1st Birthday Wilde! We all love you so much.”
Eve and her husband Maximillion Cooper married in 2014 and welcomed Wilde eight years later after years of struggling to conceive. “People say it takes a village to raise kids. It takes a village, sometimes, to help you get pregnant,” Eve shared on the The Breakfast Club in 2021. “I had 14 fibroids that I didn’t even know about,” the rapper revealed. “So I had to get a myomectomy, which is a procedure to get the fibroids out,” she added.
She continued, “[My doctor] was the only doctor who went that deep and got me an MRI. She was like, ‘You can try, and try, and try. You’re never going to get pregnant until you get rid of these things.’ No other doctor told me this. She helped me get pregnant.”
In addition to Wilde, Eve also serves as a bonus mom to Maximillion’s four children from a previous relationship.
“It’s been now 10 and a half years I’ve been in their lives and they’ve been in my life. They’ve grounded me. In the beginning, when I first met my husband, then-boyfriend, I was like, ‘This is never gonna last because you got four kids! How’s this gonna work?’ ” Eve told People in 2022 “But then I met the kids and honestly was like ‘Wow, kids are amazing.’ ”
Adding, “I will say it took years, though, I’m not gonna lie,” added the former co-host of The Talk. “It did take two or three years to adjust, just our relationship with the kids. But I have to say I’m very lucky. I feel very, very lucky that I had my insta-kids — I call them my bonus children!”
