Shahs of Sunset star Mike Shouhed's ex-wife Jessica Parido announced on Tuesday, April 16, that she is a new mom! She revealed that she welcomed a son on February 23 and her ex-husband had the BEST reaction. Scroll through to learn all the details on Jessica's baby surprise!
The 30-year-old wrote on Instagram, "On February 23, 2019, my little miracle boy was born. Since I was 15 years old I was told that the high doses of chemotherapy I got to fight my leukemia would cause me to be sterile. It was something I struggled with accepting for years."
The Glam Envy owner continued, "After 15 years and countless specialists I accepted the fact I would never have children of my own. God had other plans for me. The level of shock and disbelief I had when I found out I was pregnant naturally was unimaginable. I had spent half of my life believing I would never feel these feelings. To say this came without struggle would be a lie."
The registered nurse doesn't mention the father, but added that the "traditional family she's dreamed of her entire life is not something she has." She said, "The vision of love, marriage then baby I had wanted is gone." Jessica and Mike married in 2015 but divorced two years later after the reality star admitted he cheated on her.

"I decided to keep my pregnancy off of social media and enjoy the time without the opinions and comments of others. I contemplated never posting about it and carrying on but I'M A MOM, I have a son, a beautiful little miracle who I’ll cherish the rest of my life and to not share this would be not sharing my ❤️," Jessica gushed over her son.
But Mike couldn't help but spread some love to his ex and left her a sweet note in the comments. "A true miracle! I’m so happy for you to get what you always wanted and feared you wouldn’t and couldn’t, being a mom. I know in my heart and feel it in my soul that you will do an amazing job as a parent. You have a lot of love to share and wisdom from life to pass along to him. May God continue to bless the both of you with endless health and happiness ??♥️," the Bravo celebrity said.
