Former co-host of "The Real" Adrienne Bailon and her husband Israel Houghton welcomed their baby boy via surrogate and shared their news with a sweet Instagram post on Tuesday.
"Ever James. For this child we have prayed. Just to hear our baby cry. Skin to skin and face to face. Heart to heart and eye to eye," she captioned the Instagram post.
"Our baby boy is here & we are so in love! If you have followed our love story… you know that our journey to baby has been very challenging - But God is true to His word and His promises. We have quietly prayed while sitting on this most magnificent secret for the last 9 months," the former Disney Channel star shared.
