The Shahs of Sunset alumna kept her pregnancy off of social media before announcing the happy news on April 16 that she’d welcomed a “little miracle Boy” on Feb. 23. In her announcement, Parido — whose divorce from ex-husband and former Shahs costar Mike Shouhed was finalized in June 2017 — also opened up about her emotional journey to motherhood, after years of believing she was unable to get pregnant due to the “high doses of chemotherapy” she had received to treat her leukemia at age 15.
“God had other plans for me. The level of shock and disbelief I had when I found out I was pregnant naturally was unimaginable,” Parido recalled.
The new mom concluded, “I contemplated never posting about it and carrying on but IM A MOM, I have a son, a beautiful little miracle who I’ll cherish the rest of my life and to not share this would be not sharing me.”
