The Real host Adrienne Bailon Houghton and her husband, Israel Houghton, announced that they’ve welcomed a baby boy via surrogate. The couple have named the child Ever James.
The two announced the news on social media with a poem.
“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…”
“We have quietly prayed while sitting on this most magnificent secret for the last 9 months. He is worth every tear, every disappointment, every delayed prayer, every IVF cycle, every miscarriage. Everything. All we feel is joy and overwhelming love & gratitude. Grateful to God, to our angel surrogate and to all of our friends and family who have stood with us for over 5 years on this journey. He’s here and we have never been happier to lose sleep! #HappilyEverHoughton 🤍,” the caption read.

This is Adrienne’s first baby. Israel has four children from a previous relationship. His sons’ names are Jordan and Israel and daughters Mariah and Milan.
Talking about having a child, her successful career, Adrienne told ET in 2019: “I want to be a mom. I think that would be the next chapter, building a family and still being able to do all the things that I do, but at the same time, I just think that would be probably be a great way for my life to come full circle so that’s what I’m most excited about!”
In June, she shared with ET her goals for the next decade.

“I want to be a healthy person. I want to be that because, to be honest, I didn’t have that in my life and even now my mom is like, ‘Do it for your future kids because you want to lead by example’. So, that, for me, would be really important. Not for like, ‘Oh, I want to look hot in a bikini’ but I actually want to live a healthy lifestyle and be an example of that to my kids,” the actor said.
