Manzo’d with Children?
More like Manzo’d with Another Child on the Way!
That’s because Lauren Manzo is pregnant with her first child!
(The reality star is now known by her husband’s last name; she goes by Lauren Scalia.)
"We are so excited to be expecting our first child, due in early 2017. What a crazy year it has been for us. Life is full of wonderful surprises!" Lauren and Vito told People Magazine in a joint statement.
Lauren should be a familiar face to Bravo viewers.
Those who watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online or on television have seen her grow up right before their eyes.
She has since moved on to the spinoff that is centered around her mom, Caroline Manzo.
"We had been trying to get pregnant for a while, and as soon as we stopped placing so much pressure on ourselves, it actually happened," Lauren also tells People.
Funny how life can work that way, isn’t it?
Here is a photo of the parents-to-be back in 2011:
Lauren says it’s too early to know the gender of her impending child.
But she and Vito have every intention of finding out.
"We do plan to find out the sex, and I’m team ‘girl’ while Vito is team ‘boy!’ " she says.
We’re sure both sides will be happy either way, of course, as long as the baby is healthy.
Back in July, Lauren opened up to her husband about not having gotten pregnant a year into their marriage.
"I get nervous that we haven’t gotten pregnant yet," she told Vito, unaware that she simply had to wait a couple months and a few more sessions of intercourse.
The couple was engaged for nearly two years prior to tying tied the knot in July of last year.
Manzo’d with Children, meanwhile, airs Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo.
We send our best wishes to the happy couple!
