Former Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP) star Candiace Dillard Bassett is glowing as she graces the pages of Lennox and Parker magazine, proudly showing off her growing baby bump. The reality star and singer, who has kept fans entertained both on and off the screen, is now sharing a more intimate and personal chapter of her life: motherhood.
After a challenging journey that involved two rounds of egg retrieval and the freezing of embryos, Candiace Dillard Bassett and her husband, Chris Bassett, are joyfully expecting their first child.
The 37-year-old star and her 46-year-old husband announced on Entertainment Tonight on April 15, revealing that Dillard Bassett is in her second trimester and expecting their first child later this year.
With approximately four years remaining before her “cut-off date”—when Chris turned 50—the 37-year-old admitted she “got the itch.” Before realizing one day that “I was never going to be 100 percent ready,” she had been contemplating how she might know when she was ready.
And she’s ready! Every photo in Lennox and Parker highlights Candiace’s joy in motherhood and sophisticated style.
The “Ima Get U Right” singer slays in a maxi-length black-and-white striped Jean Paul Gaultier gown with a futuristic design against a slightly sheer fabric backdrop and a dramatic length.
She paired the gown with chunky, white platform shoes and glamorous makeup, perfectly complementing her lush, cascading her.
From her stunning wardrobe to her undeniable glow, Candiace is celebrating this new phase in her life with the same fierceness that fans of RHOP have come to know and love.
Candiace Dillard’s growing belly is clearly the star of the show, and the photos capture the joy and anticipation of becoming a first-time mother.
In the accompanying interview, Candiace discusses her excitement and the emotional rollercoaster of becoming a mother. She also discusses how she balances her hectic music career with her personal life while planning for her growing family. She also thanked her husband, Chris Bassett, for his support and expressed excitement about the new chapter they are about to embark on together.
“I plan to take things day by day, but I see successful women navigating their careers with motherhood, and I believe I can do that. I truly believe I can have it all,” she told Lenox and Parker.
This will be Candiace’s first child and Chris’ fourth, as he has two sons and one daughter from previous relationships.
