Jeannie Mai Jenkins Introduces Baby Monaco To The World– And She’s A Cutie

The Real’s Jeannie Mai Jenkins introduced her baby girl to the world for the first time ever! 

On Thursday, the 43-year-old shared her 5-month-old daughter Monaco with viewers on the latest installment of her Hello Hunnay YouTube series.  

Since welcoming her new bundle of joy in January with her husband, rapper Jeezy, Jeannie has documented virtually every moment of her daughter’s life. 

“[This] might be the most exciting episode I’ve had here on Hello Hunnay,” the proud mom said in the video.

The first portion of the video included footage of baby Monaco celebrating her first Lunar New Year, spending quality time with her grandparents, and meeting Jeannie’s former

The Real co-hosts.

Moments later, the adorable 5-month-old made her first on-camera debut with grandmother Olivia TuTram Mai. Baby Monaco was dressed similar to “Momma Mai,” wearing a sleeveless cheetah print dress with a yellow headband. 

“It’s time to share the most amazing, exciting, newest member of the Hello Hunnay family,” said the Bay Area native. The new mom also revealed that she was “so nervous” about introducing her daughter to the public eye. 

“I got really scared, guarded and protected,” she recalled. “Please excuse the nerves.”

Last month, Jeannie recounted her struggle with postpartum anxiety in an exclusive interview with People Magazine. 

“The new mom anxiety is real and I wasn’t prepared for the hit of it,” said Jeannie, who recently became aware of the disorder sometime after giving birth. 

“Here I am going through postpartum with worries, with heart palpitations, with an inability to sleep, and I was like, ‘I’m not depressed; I’m actually super stoked and happy, but I’m worried and really anxious and fidgety,’ and I didn’t know what it was.”

While postpartum anxiety is different from postpartum depression, Jeannie didn’t realize how common it was after looking it up on the internet. 

“It’s a huge difference from depression: I wasn’t sad, I wasn’t sleeping all day, I didn’t feel miserable about my life, I wasn’t having suicidal thoughts,” she added. “I was just very anxious, very uncomfortable and worried all the time.”

According to the Cleveland Clinic, postpartum anxiety is when a person experiences severe anxiety after childbirth or becoming a parent for the first time. “Studies have shown that postpartum anxiety affects between 11% and 21% of people designated female at birth,” the website reads. 

The newfound knowledge has helped Mai Jenkins manage postpartum anxiety symptoms while navigating motherhood. 

“Now that I know what it is, I still get anxiety attacks, but I’m aware that it’s just a phase,” she said.
