Adrienne Bailon, Israel Houghton welcome first child via surrogate

Adrienne Bailon and Israel Houghton added to their happiness and responsibilities, by becoming parents.

Adrienne Bailon and Israel Houghton used a surrogate to deliver their first child together.

The 38-year-old ex-co-host of "The Real" on Tuesday shared a black-and-white Instagram photo introducing her son, Ever.

“Our baby boy is here & we are so in love!” the “Cheetah Girls” star wrote in her caption. “If you have followed our love story … you know that our journey to baby has been very challenging. But God is true to His word and His promises.”

The new mom continued, “We have quietly prayed while sitting on this most magnificent secret for the last nine months,” adding, “He is worth every tear, every disappointment, every delayed prayer, every IVF cycle, every miscarriage. Everything.”

Bailon also thanked their “angel surrogate,” writing, “We have never been happier to lose sleep!”

In the adorable photo, the former Disney Channel star held her kid close to her body as she and Houghton, 51, looked at the baby.

The composer had previously given birth to kids Mariah, Jordan, Milan, and Israel through prior relationships, when the couple got married in Paris in November 2016.
