Back in February, 90 Day Fiance alum Kalani Faagata unveiled her baby bump.
She and Asuelu were expecting baby #2!
She also took the opportunity to take a swipe at trolls, assuring them that they’ll die alone.
(Have we mentioned that we love Kalani? Because we love Kalani)
Fans have been hyped since last year for the couple to welcome little Oliver’s baby brother into the world.
Now, the baby’s here, and we have the baby’s name, plus several photos for you to see. Enjoy!
Hooray!!
Kalani and Asuelu have welcomed their second child, a beautiful baby boy. But what is his name?
Kalani traveled a long road to get to this point
There’s a short but very sweet story to how she built up her family
She met Asuelu while vacationing in Samoa
He went from tour guide to something more. Kalani, a Mormon from a Mormon family, had been a virgin before Asuelu. She soon found that she was pregnant.
Asuelu was still in Samoa
Kalani ended up giving birth to Oliver and being accustomed to life as a single mom (with help from Kolini!) to a newborn before Asuelu came to the US, which made things a little complicated.
Baby Oliver is SO cute
Though Kalani initially had some misgivings over how good of a father Asuelu, who had no child-rearing experience, would be, they’re a very happy couple and very proud parents.
They’ve boned as a family
Asuelu is experiencing life in the US for the first time, while Oliver is experiencing life itself for the first time. Kalani is no stranger to either, but she’s been adjusting to being a wife and mother.
And now she’s even more of a mother
Back in December, Kalani revealed on a 90 Day Fiance episode that she was pregnant with Baby #2. She wasn’t sure how to tell her father, and admitted to the camera that she’s pregnant again because Asuelu comes from a different cultural background, and thinks that “condoms are for ‘slut people.'” Whoops.
It’s a boy!
Some reality stars play things close to the vest, even after contracts expire and careers end. But Kalani doesn’t see the harm in keeping her fans and followers apprised of developments, so she took us all along with her on this delightful pregnancy journey.
Kalani has been keeping fans in the loop
Notably, her first pregnancy — with baby Oliver — had a less than optimal amount of amniotic fluid. No such problem with this precious baby.
Eventually, she was ready to have her child
Kalani asked fans and followers for suggestions on ways to naturally induce childbirth
Ashley suggested a common remedy
Sometimes, people induce childbirth through banging. That’s what Ashley recommended, using colorful terms.
Kalani had already tried that — a lot
Further comments advised Kalani to maybe try different positions, or to focus on having orgasms to trigger labor. Others suggested spicy herbal remedies. (Please note: what you eat can absolutely impact your breast milk, and eating spicy things can be hell on your newborn — please be careful)
Eventually …
Kalani shared that she was in the hospital and had had her water broken — presumably by the doctors there — and was experiencing contractions.
The whole family was there
That means Kalani’s parents, her sister Kolini, and also little Oliver, who seemed to have mixed emotions about what was happening.
She had the baby!
Like all babies, he was born covered in a whole bunch of gunk because, you know, he was inside her body, but doctors cleaned him right up and let Asuelu cut the umbilical cord.
And he has a name!
Some stars like to wait days (or WEEKS) before deciding on a name, let alone announcing it to the world. Kalani and Asuelu named their second child Kennedy.
Look at this proud dad!
Asuelu was manning the camera a lot, but he also took time to hold his precious second child.
And Oliver warmed up to the idea
Oliver is a big brother, now, and even in the minutes after his mom gave birth, he gradually warmed up to the small, bundled goblin that had the adults in the room so excited. (Remember, Oliver is just a toddler himself)
Kalani shared the good news …
… and received congratulations from her Season 6 castmate, Larissa, who seems much less antagonistic these days. To be fair, Kalani and Larissa didn’t feud with each other in the way that some others did.
Kolini is a proud aunt
Sorry, she is once again a proud aunt. (Side note: we know that a lot of 90 Day fans are horny for Kolini, but try to keep that separate from your “congrats on the new nephew!” comments)
This is such good news
There are couples on 90 Day Fiance who should never have children — not with each other, at least. Kalani and Asuelu are loving parents — and Kalani has more sense than some of the “more experienced” parents on her own show’s cast (We’re lookin’ at you, Eric and Leida). Congratulations to their entire beautiful family!!
