Adrienne Bailon-Houghton is getting super candid about her roller coaster journey to motherhood.

As reported, the media maven welcomed her first child – a baby boy named Ever James – with her husband Israel Houghton last year.

At the time, the singer and former host of The Real shared that her newborn entered the world via gestational surrogate.

Now, during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Bailon-Houghton is opening up the more.

Speaking frankly, she unpacks how her quest to become a mom took six years, “8 IVF cycles,” and “multiple miscarriages.”

It was after being informed by her doctors that she was on her last fertilized embryo that surrogacy was suggested and she and her partner proceeded down that path.

As for why she’s opening up, the former 3LW and Cheetah Girls performer says that fertility issues are rarely discussed publicly but she’s found many women share that they’ve experienced them in private conversations.

Head below to watch her discuss hers.

H.E.R. (born Gabriella Wilson) may only be 25-years-old, but the singer-actress is already one of the most-awarded musicians of her generation.

A five-time GRAMMY winner, the R&B diva’s trophy case is also lined with MTV VMAs, MTV EMAs, BET Awards, Soul Train Awards, and, most famously, a collected Best Song OSCAR for the ‘Judas & the Black Messiah’ tune ‘Fight For You’ (accepted at the 2021 Academy Awards).

In past interviews, Wilson has detailed in earnest what joining the group of Hollywood elites who have EGOT status (the acronym that references those who have the industry’s top four honors – EMMYs, GRAMMYs, OSCARs, and TONYs) would mean to her.

Now, with the addition of an EMMY to her growing accomplishments, she may not have to wait for long.

‘Take It To the House’ hitmaker Trick Daddy has taken to TMZ to set the record straight on his thoughts about Beyoncé.

As we reported last year, the 47-year-old sent the diva’s fans – affectionately called the #Beyhive – swarming after he said she doesn’t ‘write her own songs’ and ‘can barely sing.’

Just last week, he doubled down on the notion by asserting her vocal ability paled in comparison to the likes of Whitney Houston, Stephanie Mills, Adele, and Jennifer Hudson.

With the reiteration causing his once-cooled backlash to reheat, Daddy – hot on the promo trail in support of his FOX SOUL cooking show ‘B*tch I Got My Pots’ – is stirring up the pot with a direct address to some of Bey’s fans.
