Lea Michele announced on Sunday that she and her husband Zandy Reich had welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Emery. She shared a photo on Instagram of her family touching the little one’s tiny feet, expressing that their hearts are full. The couple already has a son named Ever who was born in August 2020.
The 37-year-old actress first revealed her baby bump in a March Instagram slideshow, saying that she, her husband, and their son Ever were overjoyed. In May, Michele posted a photo of her budding belly and a bouquet of pink flowers, celebrating Mother’s Day while holding Ever and carrying her daughter. Throughout her pregnancy, Michele openly discussed her desire to have another child despite experiencing fertility issues and previous heartbreaks.
Michele has been candid about her struggles with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and complications during her pregnancies. She revealed in an episode of “BDA Baby” in March 2021 that she had experienced scary pregnancy bleeding and received complicated results from a 20-week anatomy scan while pregnant with Ever. Despite these challenges, she and Reich were determined to expand their family after welcoming their first child in 2020.
The Broadway star and Reich began dating in 2017, leading to their engagement the following year and a wedding in Napa, California, in March 2019. Michele expressed her desire to have more children in the future, sharing their journey of overcoming fertility issues and uncertainty. Their son Ever brought immense joy to their lives, and now Emery has added even more love and happiness to their growing family. Whether they face more challenges or receive more blessings, Michele and Reich are dedicated to creating a loving and supportive environment for their children.
Lea Michele’s journey into motherhood has been full of ups and downs, from the announcement of her first pregnancy to the arrival of Emery as their second child. Despite the challenges she faced with fertility issues, PCOS, and complications during pregnancy, Michele remained resilient and hopeful about having a second child. Her openness about her experiences has inspired others facing similar struggles and has allowed her to connect with her fans on a deeper level. With her two children, Ever and Emery, Michele and Reich are embracing the joys and challenges of parenthood and creating a happy and loving home for their growing family.
