Watch as 'Little Women: Atlanta' megastar Emily reveals she's pregnant to Ms. Juicy — plus see her child boy today!
Season 5 of Little Women: Atlanta kicked off with The Cheeks — Emily Fernandez and Bri Barlup — transferring to Atlanta to pursue their music occupation.
However, Emily (aka Right Cheek) has been retaining a secret from Ms. Juicy, who just lately agreed to set up the duo. In an exclusive preview, Emily in the end comes clean — and let's simply say that Ms. Juicy is not too glad.
"Now that we're settled in, there's still something I need to talk to you about and I don't want you to think we're not serious about music," the 26-year-old tells Ms. Juicy in the clip. "In like two months, I'm going to have to take a little break cuz I'm pregnant."
As expected, Ms. Juicy used to be blindsided. "I've had several conversations with Emily before and after they moved here so why is Emily just telling me she pregnant now?" Juicy said. "I was fully willing to manage The Cheeks but now I'm not so sure that's a great idea."
Yikes.
Emily's partner, Br,i used to be also fearful about Emily not being honest about her pregnancy, telling cameras earlier, "Emily's decision to not tell Juicy about her pregnancy could blow up in our face."
Emily got pregnant two years after dropping her child boy.
In 2016, Emily welcomed a baby boy named Lontel Jahnar Johnson Jr. (JJ) with boyfriend Lontel Johnson. However, even prior to his start, Emily published that her son was once experiencing health complications.
"My baby was having seizures in utero and doctors believe there was a problem with the placenta," she informed People magazine on the time. "Little people pregnancies are high risk and being pregnant with a little person is even more dangerous. JJ wasn’t receiving enough oxygen and he was born with blood around his brain."
Unfortunately, the infant did not continue to exist and kicked the bucket three months later.
"I fought for his life – I demanded that he have multiple tests run. I wanted to be sure that I did everything in my power to save him and keep him," she added. "If he would’ve been average height, this would’ve still happened. Everything was due to his brain damage."
Emily additionally shared a touching tribute on Instagram, along a photo of JJ with his father.
"The gates of heaven welcomed their sweetest angel tonight. You were loved beyond words and I will miss you every second of every day my king,” wrote on Instagram. "I do know you'll rest easy and glance down us staring at over your sisters. RIP Lontel Jahnar Johnson Jr."
Emily welcomed her son Zayne Odell Johnson last November.
Emily, who is a mom to daughter Eva, gave birth this past November to a baby boy, and gushed about her children on Instagram.
"2 out of my 3 largest presents. I do know your brother will all the time watch over and give protection to you both. Not a day goes via we don’t take note JJ," she wrote. "I think JJ saved his bestest brother for ultimate ..... nevertheless it’s all certain power and love."
