<p>Photographed in black-and-white, making skin-to-skin contact, the new <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/the-real-officially-canceled-after-8-seasons/">mother</a> took to Instagram and expressed her gratitude.</p>
<p>She said in part:</p>
<blockquote><p>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 &#8211; 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,&#8221; she shared.</p></blockquote>
<p>The 38-year-old stated she was &#8220;Grateful to God, to our angel surrogate.&#8221;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Adrienne Details Infertility Experience</h2>
<p>The former Cheetah Girl has been vocal about her infertility issues. While on <em>The Real</em> in 2018, the talk show host spoke about her experience when trying to become pregnant.</p>

<blockquote><p>I think that as an audience we should be sensitive to the fact that everybody doesn&#8217;t get pregnant right away,&#8221; Bailon continued. &#8220;I think for myself I thought it would happen so easily for me and it just hasn&#8217;t happened that way.</p></blockquote>
<p>She continued:</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve had to come to peace with that it&#8217;ll happen when it&#8217;s God&#8217;s timing and I believe in that and I have faith in all of that,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But it can be really discouraging and it can be really frustrating.</p></blockquote>
<p>Adrienne and Israel wedded in 2019 in Paris.</p>
