The rumors quickly energized Bravo followers, who began celebrating the idea of the couple expanding their already large blended family. But before you start buying baby booties, it’s time to set the record straight.
The Ultimate Reality Check
Despite the rampant speculation, Gina herself has officially pumped the brakes on the baby train. Addressing the “crazy” gossip circulating online, the 41-year-old reality star shut down the rumors with her signature straightforwardness.
