Rachel Fuda is pregnant! The 33-year-old The Real Housewives of New Jersey star and her husband John are expecting their third child together, they announced on Sunday evening (August 11). “We’re so excited,” Rachel told People. “We’re ready to be a party of six!” Keep reading to find out more… “John and I always felt like our family wasn’t complete,” she added. “We actually have a table in my kitchen and when we sit down for dinner, there’s one empty chair. And we always kind of looked at each other like, ‘Oh, it’d be nice to fill that seat.’ So we always had the room for one more in our home and in our hearts, and we’re both just so happy to be welcoming another baby into the family. It felt like it was time.” The news was first revealed as Rachel told her castmates in the RHONJ “Off the Rails” season finale special that aired on Sunday. Rachel and John are also parents to daughters Gianella, 4, and Giuliana, 2, as well as John‘s son Jaiden, 17, from a previous relationship who Rachel adopted. The couple has been open about their IVF journey on the show, which is how their daughters were conceived. After filming season 14 wrapped, they started the process again. “There’s so many things that have to go right when you’re going through IVF, and this time around, there were a lot of roadblocks for us,” Rachel told People. “It took a couple months of us working with my doctor to figure out when this could actually happen for us. And it was really frustrating because it just kept getting delayed.” After she got the go-ahead, it didn’t take long to conceive and the transfer took! How do the other kids feel about the new addition? “The girls are over the top,” she dished. “They’re talking to my belly like, ‘Hi, I’m your big sister!’ Gigi‘s like, ‘Mommy, I’m going to be your little helper. Anything you need, I’ll help you.’ It’s really sweet to see. And Giuliana, she’s obsessed with babies. She’s asking if she can help change diapers, feed the baby bottles… she was like, ‘Mom, I’m going to carry the baby in the car seat.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, dear God…’ So this should be interesting.” “He’s such a family kid,” Rachel said of Jaiden. “I know there’s a big age gap, but he loves to hang out with the kids; he and his girlfriend, they’ll actually come play with the kids for hours just to spend time with them. He loves being a big brother.” In case you missed it, find out what’s happening with the future of The Real Housewives of New Jersey…
