On August 16, Adrienne Bailon announced her family had grown. “The Real” host uploaded a black and white photo to Instagram where she held her newborn baby, Ever James Houghton, alongside husband Israel Houghton. “Our baby boy is here & we are so in love!” Bailon wrote in the lengthy, and heartfelt, caption. “If you have followed our love story … you know that our journey to baby has been very challenging,” she added. The singer mentioned the couple’s previous pregnancy struggles, and how it only made welcoming their son via surrogate even sweeter. “He is worth every tear, every disappointment, every delayed prayer, every IVF cycle, every miscarriage. Everything,” Bailon wrote, touching on the inspo behind his name. They also created an Instagram page for fans to follow the newborn.
The comment section was flooded with well-wishes from a slew of celebrity friends. “HE IS HERE!!!! Lord thank you for this gift You spent quality time making for Israel and Ade,” fellow “The Real” host Jeannie Mai Jenkins wrote. “Cried so many tears of joy today! So happy for you my love!” another co-host, Tamera Mowry replied.
Previously, the couple had endured trolling for not yet having a child together. “5 years & no baby? That definitely sounds like a crisis,” a follower commented on Instagram when Bailon and Houghton celebrated their five-year anniversary in November 2021, per The Grio. “Nope! Me happy with the man I chose with or without a baby – is a beautiful thing lol,” Bailon responded.
