"The Real" Co-Host Suffered Trauma In The Past
The news of Jeannie and Jeezy's first child made headlines as the couple initially declared that they bonded over their desire not to have kids. Jeannie, who was previously married to Freddy Harteis, had been vocal about not having children, but all that changed when the rapper came into her life.
The "How Do I Look?" alum revealed that while the news of having a child with the love of her life excited her, the joy was accompanied by some fear due to past trauma.
It still scares me whether or not I can keep a kid-safe from someone else who might hurt them.
