Gretchen Rossi<\/strong>‘s dream of becoming a mother is finally coming true.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hours ago, the\u00a0Real Housewives of Orange County<\/em>\u00a0star announced she is expecting<\/a> her first child with longtime love\u00a0Slade Smiley<\/strong>.\u00a0Recalling the “emotional journey” she and Slade took to expand their family, Gretchen said during Monday’s episode of\u00a0The Doctors<\/em> that the wonderful pregnancy news “still doesn’t feel real.”<\/p>\n

The couple, who began dating almost a decade ago, first pursued in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 2013. It came to a disappointing\u00a0halt when\u00a0just hours before Gretchen was scheduled to undergo\u00a0an embryo transfer, their doctor called to say that all 14 embryos were lost.<\/p>\n

“This is beyond anything I had ever expected to experience. It literally took a good year and a half for us to even get to a point where I was willing to talk about it again,” the former Bravo star explained on\u00a0The Doctors<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then in 2016, Slade (who has two sons from a previous relationship) underwent a\u00a0vasectomy reversal, which ultimately proved unsuccessful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Gretchen went on to do two more rounds of IVF, and in November she learned of her pregnancy. So how is the future mama adjusting to life with a baby on board? The bizarre food cravings are in full swing, as she tells E! News exclusively, “I knew I had hit the food aversion stage when everything smelled disgusting to me and I no longer was craving sweets. Instead I wanted a giant pickle and a hamburger at 3 o’clock in the morning.”<\/p>\n

Of course, 41-year-old Gretchen isn’t alone in her quest to become a mom later in life. Keep scrolling for even more pregnant celebrities over 40!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
