The former ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ Star Recently Welcomed a Baby
As mentioned, Dillard-Bassett departed “The Real Housewives of Potomac” after season 8 in 2024. Since leaving, she has stated that the decision came as a result of her pregnancy and not wanting to endure the stress of filming the show while being an expecting mother.
According to PEOPLE, Dillard-Bassett and her husband welcomed their baby on October 3, 2024. She spoke to the outlet about the new bundle of joy, saying, “He is just the cutest little thing. 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!”
She continued, “I just look at him and envision all the adventures we’re going to have. Throughout my pregnancy, when I would talk to him in my stomach, I would say, ‘I can’t wait to see who you’re going to be.’ And that’s been the joy in my heart that’s continued after his birth. It’s exciting to think about. I’m so ready for a lifetime of being on the sidelines, cheering him on.”
She Will be on ‘The Traitors’ Season Four
Dillard-Bassett may be done with “The Real Housewives of Potomac” for now, but she’s not saying goodbye to reality television. According to Variety, she is one of the cast members on season four of “The Traitors.”
