Candiace Dillard Bassett is a mommy!
The 37-year-old Real Housewives of Potomac alum and songstress welcomed her first child with husband Chris Bassett, Jett Maxwell Lee Bassett, on Thursday, Oct. 3.
“He is just the cutest little thing,” Candiace told PEOPLE in an interview for this week’s issue. “Chris and I couldn’t be happier. It’s so cliché to say, but he’s brought such joy to our lives in ways I never would have been able to describe before. It’s pure love!”
“I just look at him and envision all the adventures we’re going to have,” she continued. “Throughout my pregnancy, when I would talk to him in my stomach, I would say, ‘I can’t wait to see who you’re going to be.’ And that’s been the joy in my heart that’s continued after his birth. It’s exciting to think about. I’m so ready for a lifetime of being on the sidelines, cheering him on.”
“The meaning of his name was really important to me. I mean, there were a lot of names I liked that had meanings I did not like, so that just automatically tossed them out,” Candiace remembers. “But as soon as I read the meaning of his name, I was like, ‘This is it. This is his name.’ ”
Jett joins Owen, 22, Mateo, 14, and Naya, 10, Chris’ three kids from two previous relationships.
Congratulations to Candiace and Chris!
