“This costume is 15 years aged!!! Ha”! she enthused in her message. “I next wore this dress at an @aliceandolivia function in 2009,” said the actress. “Rewearing clothes is acceptable, and staples like this gown are so great to keep around in your wardrobe to wear them again and again!!”
She wore the outfit to her brother’s marriage, saying, “and it was great because it was HOT and I was great as a [cucumber emoji].” She continued, “My closet of staples saves me every time because it’s difficult being a new mom.”
In July 2023, Us Weekly that Menounos and her father, Keven Undergaro, welcomed their newborn child, Athena, via surrogate one month before.
After being diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2017, the woman’s took ten years to get pregnant. Her physicians advised her against carrying a baby after she was given a clean bill of health, which led the couple to seek infertility.
“It was the most special moment of my life,” Menounos told Us of Athena’s appearance. The physician allegedly grabbed her and climbed onto me. I sat with her on my neck, and Keven and I kept looking at each other like, ‘Oh, my God.’ It was just real joy.
Menounos’ brand kids showered Athena.
“I took her to chapel in Kelly Ripa’s Ralph Lauren onesie”, she recalled in December 2023, joking, “Then all of our buddies, they’re sending all these mad wonderful gifts from Hermes or whatever, and I’m like,’ Oh my gosh, how am I going to keep this baby down to earth?'”
On Saturday, July 6, Menounous shared images from Athena’s second birthday party, which included a beautiful bubble show and sugar-free sweets baked by.
“I’m actually trying to keep her sugar free for as long as I can,” Menounos said, “because of the health problems in our home.” She adored it and had the best time possible!
