Nicole Wallace is quite popular for hosting the MSNBC news and politics program Deadline: White House, and in fact, many of the channel’s regular tuners admire her so much for her unbiased takes.
She has been missing from the anchor’s chair for the past week, and while many wondered if she may have had some personal problems or simply taken a week off, she surprised everyone with a baby.
So, did Nicolle Wallace adopt a baby? Wallace gave us an update about giving birth to a baby named Isabella through a phone call during yesterday’s Deadline: White House, but she didn’t mention whether she had the baby through surrogacy or adoption. However, given she wasn’t pregnant, it would have to be either of the two options.
Did Nicolle Wallace Adopt Her Second Child?
Nicolle Wallace, 51, has recently been absent from the Deadline: White House for over a week, and it was made evident yesterday when she spoke to Alicia Menendez, who was covering the show during her absence.
Wallace had her first baby with her ex-husband Mark in 2012, and after eleven years, she welcomed another baby into the world, but for the past few months, she has not been pregnant. So, how did he have her second child?
During her call with Alicia, Wallace didn’t mention whether she had the baby through surrogacy or they adopted the child, but she shared her enthusiasm for having another family member to take care of. In her words,
“I have not looked at my phone in a week. Mike and I had a baby and her name is Isabella Schmidt. We were able to keep it a secret, obviously, because I wasn’t pregnant.”
During the program, MSNBC also shared an image of Wallace’s baby, but Alicia didn’t ask any questions regarding whether she adopted the baby. But the thing is, Wallace seems extremely happy to have Isabella.
How Did People React to Wallace Becoming a Mom Again?
Since Wallace was seen the entire past week, many were worried and wondered why she was absent from the program, but seeing an update from MSNBC, they were ecstatic.
Some people took to social media and expressed their excitement for their favorite news anchor and how they were happy for her. Here are some notable reactions:
“Congratulations, Nicolle! You’re one of my favorite journalists, and I am so happy about your great news. She’s beautiful and a fortunate little lady to have a mother like you. God Bless You and Your Family!”
