Sanya Richards-Ross and her husband Aaron Ross are expecting their second child together.
The announcement was made in the season 15 mid-season trailer for The Real Housewives of Atlanta, which was released on Friday.
In a clip from the trailer, Sanya hands her husband Aaron Ross a pregnancy test, and he closely examines it before exclaiming, “No way!”
Seeking confirmation, he asks her if it’s real, and she responds with a nod, saying, “I’m pregnant!”
In a previous episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta that aired last fall, Sanya revealed her decision to remove her IUD in order to expand her family.
The decision was not an easy one for Richards-Ross, who has been open about the challenges of balancing motherhood with her career. In a recent interview with The Bump, Sanya admitted that she and her husband struggled with balancing parental responsiblities early in their marriage.
“I nursed my son for almost two and a half years. A nurse — and I wish I had taken her advice — told me to pump. She said, ‘You have to share this load. If you’re exclusively breastfeeding, it’s going to get overwhelming.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, no, I’ll take that on, it’ll be fine,’ ” she recalled.
“And I remember, there were days where I would ask my husband to just stay up with me. Even if he wasn’t feeding, I just needed his company. And he was like, ‘Why should we both be tired,’ and it caused a big rift. It was a point of contention for me because I was taking this full burden on and he wouldn’t even sit up with me.”
She continued, “So, I think it’s about, for both people, sharing your needs clearly, but then also your partner having the heart to really hear you and understand that those needs matter to you, even if they don’t seem important to them.”
Sanya Richards-Ross and Aaron Ross are already parents to son Aaron Jermaine, who turns 6 next month.
