‘The Real’ Host Jeannie Mai’s Husband Announces He’s Having A Baby With Another Woman Just 6 Months After Their Split

They were together for more than 10 years.

Well, that was fast.

Just six months after his split from his wife of 10 years, Jeannie Mai, Freddy Harteis is expecting a baby with another woman, and she's four months along in her pregnancy.

Taking to Instagram, Harteis posted a picture of him holding a sign that reads, "I Love You, Daddy," supported by a caption detailing his new love and their journey towards being new parents together.

At the beginning of the caption, he detailed his relationship with "a beautiful woman who captured my heart," highlighting that he hasn't been able to "wipe a crazy grin" off of his face for the last six months, which happened to be immediately after he and Mai ended their marriage.

"I have been walking on the clouds because of the thought of us having a miracle of our own and yesterday, my heart about to burst out of my chest when we found out our precious child, would be our precious DAUGHTER," he continued, revealed the sex of the quickly conceived child.

"Daddy can't wait [to] take you hunting," he ended the caption.

Take a look, below:

While babies are indeed a miracle, it's almost impossible to ignore how suspect this entire situation appears, given the timing of it all.

Also, some may consider his heartfelt and giddy caption to be a dig at the The Real co-host, as she has voiced on numerous occasions that she did not want children, even revealing, at one point, that that may have played a part in the dissolving of their marriage.

Needless to say, congratulations to him and his new lady.
