Stassi Schroeder’s 2021 is off to a heartwarming start because she is a new mom, and the Vanderpump Rules alum took to Instagram on Thursday to debut the first shots of her newborn baby girl. The infant’s name is Hartford Charlie Rose Clark.
After a rocky 2020, Stassi and husband Beau Clark are ringing in the New Year with a new addition to the family. The couple announced their pregnancy during a rough period for Stassi, career-wise. She was shockingly ousted from Bravo, along with three other cast members, for her part in a racial discrimination claim involving former cast member Faith Stowers. It was during heightened racial tension amid the Black Lives Matter movement that Faith revealed that Stassi and Kristen Doute previously called the cops on her, to accuse her of a crime she didn’t commit. Additionally, Stassi’s past controversial remarks on her podcast resurfaced, along with some racially insensitive photos she shared on social media. All the strikes against Stassi led to her termination from the show and cancellation on social media. While all the backlash hit her at once, she announced her pregnancy.
Earlier this month, Stassi and Beau announced that their daughter was welcomed into the world on January 7. On Thursday, January 21, the former Bravo star showed her daughter off for the first time. “Beau & I have spent the last couple of weeks enjoying every moment with our daughter,” she captioned an adorable Instagram slide of baby Hartford. “Every cuddle, every sound, every poop, all of it. It’s her two week birthday and I feel like I’m finally ready to share my little girl. Meet Hartford Charlie Rose Clark, the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” She went on to share her excitement and joy about being a mom. “My heart is so freaking full. I can’t believe I get to keep her. 😍😍😍😍,” she added. Many of her fans and friends sent praise in the comments. See the baby below:
“So happy for you,” said one fan. “She’s beautiful,” added another. The cuteness of the post received love from her 2 million+ followers. It’s the beginning of a new start for the former reality star. Sources close to Stassi shared her plans for 2021 last month. It’s said that she has signed on with new management and will begin a rebrand with a return to her podcast. Her last media appearance was on The Tamron Hall Show, where she addressed the controversy surrounding her removal from Bravo.
While many felt the interview went well, Stassi surprised many when sources claimed she felt unprepared for Hall’s questions. Hall responded to the Bravo alum on her show in a tone that made people wonder if Vanderpump Rules alum Schroeder would ever return as a guest.
