She mentioned that it would happen according to God’s wish and she believes in that. She added,

“I think I looked at myself and in my mind I was like, ‘I’m a Cheetah Girl, I’m 19 years old’ and then I woke up and was like actually, I’m going to be 35 in a few weeks and that makes a big difference. I can feel as youthful as I want in the inside and in my heart, but my ovaries are what they are and that s**ks to hear that.”

Adrienne also shared that she had previously thought that because she had wide hips and was a Latina, she would get pregnant if her husband looked at her. After overcoming many struggles, it seems that the celebrity is finally seeing her dream come true.
