Jeannie Mai recently welcomed her first child with her husband Jeezy. Sharing a picture of the newborn’s blanket on Instagram, she wrote,

“I asked God for a life of love and happiness. He sent me my family. Baby Jenkins is here.”

The television host has not yet shared the baby’s name or sex. Mai and Jeezy tied the knot in April 2021 after her divorce from Freddy Harteis in 2017.


Jeannie and Freddy separated since the former did not want to have children with the actor. While speaking on The Real in 2014, the former makeup artist said,

“Before we got married, I was very clear about the fact that I probably would not have kids, just because I’ve never felt that. And now, getting older, he definitely seems like he wants kids, and he actually came out and said that he wants children.”

Following her marriage to Jeezy, Mai’s perspective on motherhood changed. While talking about her pregnancy in September 2021, she said that she knew what she wanted and was the kind of woman she wanted to be, but didn’t want to be a mother.
