The California-born stylist further mentioned the “best part” of the hangout; celebrating Ever’s first birthday. She then wrote, “Here’s to our intertwined lives and these two sweet souls creating their own story forEVER,” before ending the caption with “happiest first birthday” to the celebrant.

Before Adrienne welcomed her bundle of joy, “The Real” got canceled after its eighth season, and Jeannie, who was heartbroken about it, had a few opinions to share. During an interview, she admitted that the cancellation was “hard” because the show was unlike any other.
The mother-of-one further stated, “When you have a show that is by minority voices for minority voices, I gotta say, I didn’t have a show like that when I started.”
She then pointed out that the program was inclusive, allowing women of all cultures and backgrounds to share their narratives, making her proud of their achievements.
