RHOA STAR SHAMEA MORTON AND KENYAN HUSBAND GERALD MWANGI WELCOME 2ND CHILD VIA SURROGATE

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Shamea Morton is officially a mom again! Shamea and her Kenyan husband Gerald Mwangi welcomed their second child, a daughter named Shiloh, via surrogate.

Following the baby’s arrival, Shamea wrote an emotional post on Instagram, “Hey Best friends! I appreciate all of the calls, texts, dm’s etc. I’ve been too overwhelmed to talk and every time I talk about it I cry. Shiloh was born on Valentine’s Day at 7:58pm. She weighed 6 lbs 8 ounces and she was 18.5 inches. She was a nice size preemie!

She def didn’t miss a meal. I cut the umbilical cord and we got a faint cry so we thought everything was fine. Moments later she began to struggle to breathe. The doctors @northsidehosp immediately began to work on her but she eventually had to be put on 100% oxygen.

A few hours later she was intubated and placed on a ventilator. That’s where we are now. I’ve been a mess, heart palpitations, anxiety etc but Shiloh is a fighter. @shadinablunt is doing well and she’s been doing updates on her page. Please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers. @shyaandshiloh #preemie #35weeks #valentinesdaybaby.”

In November last year, the couple announced they were expecting their second born via surrogate, “We’re having a baby via surrogacy! It’s been such a long journey! 7 rounds of IVF, failed transfers…etc. I wanted to carry but God had other plans.He always knows best! I’m so grateful. I’m having a baby!”

The couple welcomed their first child, Shya Nyambura Mwangi in November 2018. “I’m officially a MOM! I have a whole new respect for women and our bodies. Childbirth is nothing short of a miracle. I feel so blessed to have had this experience.” On July 22, 2017, the reality star wedded her US-based Kenyan businessman at Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club.
