Congratulations are in order for former Real Housewives of Potomac star Candiace Dillard! Dillard and her husband Chris Bassett welcomed a baby boy naming him, Jet Maxwell Lee Bassett on October 3rd.
“He is just the cutest little thing.” Candiace told People, “Chris and I couldn’t be happier. It’s so cliché to say, but he’s brought such joy to our lives in ways I never would have been able to describe before. It’s pure love!”
Candiace opened up about the meaning of his name saying, “The meaning of his name was really important to me. I mean, there were a lot of names I liked that had meanings I did not like, so that just automatically tossed them out. But as soon as I read the meaning of his name, I was like, ‘This is it. This is his name.’ “
Candiace says naming him took longer than she thought saying, “I had been throwing names out to Chris the entire pregnancy and most of the ones I liked he was like, “Those sound like nepo baby names.’ And I was like, ‘Why are you just trying to kill my vibe?’ But Chris agreed with Jett. He was like, ‘Jett’s a cool name, he’s going to be a cool kid. They can call him J.B.’ “
Prior to announcing her pregnancy, Candiace left the Real Housewives of potomac after six seasons.
