Maya Vander has introduced her miracle baby's name to the world!

The former "Selling Sunset" star has opened up about the joy her daughter, Emma Reign, brought her and her husband, David Miller after they suffered multiple pregnancy losses. She welcomed the rainbow baby last month after the devastating birth of a stillborn baby boy, whom she and Miller named Mason, in December 2021.

Maya Vander's Previous Pregnancy Challenges Resulted In Her Being Anxious About THIS One

Even though she left The Oppenheim Group last year, Vander's life has remained a constant fixture in the news and fans' minds. In the latest update, the 41-year-old spoke to PEOPLE about the strategy she put in place when she realized she was pregnant again after losing Mason at 38 weeks. She began:

"I didn't know how this pregnancy would go, and things obviously happen, I learned, unfortunately. I decided to just keep it quiet mostly, I didn't want to do just anything, and I wanted to just make sure everything is going well and the baby's healthy and the delivery is healthy, and everything is fine before going public about it all."

The Maya Vander Group founder stated that even though some of her recent real estate posts caused fans to suspect she was expecting, she wanted to wait for the right time before sharing the news. Luckily, her pregnancy with Emma "checked all the boxes," and she could rave about it now. Gushing about it, Vander stated:

"I felt healthy; I worked out. I ate well, and besides minor symptoms like fatigue and low energy in the beginning and feeling ready to have the baby at the end, it was great."

She added that her previous problematic pregnancies, including the miscarriage she suffered last year, made her a "little more cautious and worried" because they taught her that a pregnancy loss can happen "no matter how far along you are, even if things are going the way they should be."

To that end, she prepared herself by undergoing "way more" observation throughout this pregnancy than the previous ones. She finally gave birth to Emma, who joined her other two kids — Aiden and Elle, at 37 weeks after being induced.

Upon Emma's arrival, an over-excited Vander took to Instagram to post a picture of the tot, with her husband looking at them lovingly, along with the caption that read:

"Welcome to the world, Emma Reign! My rainbow baby! This was a long nine months as I kept my pregnancy as quiet as possible from social media. I gave birth a few days ago, and words cannot express my sense of relief and happiness!"

The luxury realtor appreciated the medical team who helped her during labor before concluding, "And yes, I'm wearing a mask because, of course, I had the worse cold?but I made it to push a baby with a full stuffy nose;)."

The Former Netflix Star's Fans Debated About Her Pregnancy Recently

The Blast reported early last month that fans' suspicion that Vander might be pregnant again was heightened after she posted a clip containing a recent luxurious listing that she bagged. Although she did her best to hide the protruding belly, her all-black outfit gave her away for a nanosecond as she raved about the Miami Beach home.

Within minutes, her comment section was flooded with ecstatic messages, with one fan exclaiming, "So happy to see you pregnant!!!" Another fan claimed to "see a baby bump," and a third wrote, "No one cares about the property; we are all too busy being happy for this beautiful baby bump!!! Wishing you many blessings."

The outburst of joy was soon clamped down upon by a few people who disagreed with the congratulatory gesture since Vander had not officially announced being pregnant. One such netizen penned, "It's never ok to assume a pregnancy, especially when someone has had a loss. Wait until pregnancy is announced before congratulating!"

Another critic asserted that it was "rude" to congratulate someone unless they had shared the good news of their pregnancy, and a third declared that it was  inappropriate to drop remarks "regarding whether she is pregnant or not."

On her part, Vander ignored all comments and questions about her expecting another child, focusing only on queries about the luxury property in the post.
