The Miami-based realtor announced the birth of her daughter on Instagram Thursday. Her daughter, Emma Reign, was born a year and a half after the reality star had a stillbirth at 38 weeks. Vander also revealed she had a miscarriage last June.

The 43-year-old has regularly depicted motherhood on her Instagram and recently revealed how she honored her late son.

Emma Reign's birth follows recent social media speculation of her pregnancy, courtesy of a video where fans believed to see evidence of a bump. Fans had allegedly begun congratulating the realtor on the birth, but other fans believed all congratulatory messages should be held off until Vander officially announced the pregnancy.

Vander Kept Her Pregnancy Under Wraps

According to our report, speculation around Vander's latest pregnancy began circulating shortly after Vander revealed the news of her stillbirth. An insider reportedly confirmed the news to People.

In the comments section of a clip she had posted of a recent luxury listing, fans congratulated Vander, following a few visible seconds of her stomach.

"do I see a lovely bump?" a fan asked, with a heart and an emoji of a pregnant woman.

A few followers denounced all of the commentators who were speculating about the pregnancy.

"It's never ok to assume a pregnancy, especially when someone has had a loss. Wait until pregnancy is announced before congratulating!"

"I don't think it's appropriate to comment on whether she is pregnant. If she is, I'm sure she'll announce it when she feels it's appropriate and not before," another commentator wrote.

The sixth season of "Selling Sunset" will be released via Netflix on May 19th. Vander and former co-star Christine Quinn will not be featured, but Vander will be busy! In addition to her new baby daughter, Vander has her real estate brokerage, The Maya Vander Group. She has also inked a deal with the 1060 App, which allows her to showcase virtual listings for her followers.
