Pregnant Candiace Dillard-Bassett graced the red carpet of the Grammys On The Hill event in Washington, DC on April 30, 2024.
The 37-year-old, who hosted the event, rocked the red carpet in a stunning off-the-shoulder gown, accentuating her blossoming baby bump.
Last month, Candiace Dillard Bassett announced that she is expecting her first child with husband Chris Bassett, 46.
“I am about 13 weeks … so just about into the second trimester. It’s been weird, but also really wonderful, I think, to keep it kind of to ourselves to this point,” she revealed to ET.
“It’s been weird, but also really wonderful, I think, to keep it kind of to ourselves to this point… It’s just been, like, kind of quietly just growing a bun,” she added.
Fans of ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’ followed Candiace and Chris’s fertility journey on-screen, witnessing their ups and downs with treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF).
After undergoing rounds of treatments and IVF, the couple’s perseverance paid off when they received the long-awaited news of pregnancy.
“Our doctor called us at 8 a.m. and she tells us that we’re pregnant,” the 37-year-old shares. “We waited and waited and waited all this time, so to finally hear that, after those two weeks, the process has worked after a year of doing the shots. … I did two rounds of egg retrieval. To do the shots in your stomach, I had to do the shots in my bum bum every day — which was not always fun — and to finally have it all pay off was amazing.”
The couple have chosen to not know the gender of the baby.“So, the doctors know,” Chris explains. “We did all the tests. Obviously, we wanted something healthy … and I was like, listen, let’s just take the highest graded egg and we’ll put it in there, and this is the one surprise of this whole experience, that we don’t know yet.”
