Ever since Adrienne Houghton showed off a slimmer figure to premiere Season 6 ofThe Real, things have been great. She has a newfound confidence, including when it comes to the clothes she wears.
I went seasons without showing my arms because that was something I was really self-conscious about, she she told Hola! Its something that I am working on. I would always wear long sleeves. Now, were finding really cute things that just cover that one little area of arm-cleavage, and its been groundbreaking for my wardrobe.
The 36-year-oldThe Realco-host, who recently announced her upcoming Facebook Watch series Wear It Wellabout finding the right, flattering style for your body type, went vegan earlier this year. She also got back to exercising consistently. Doing so has clearly paid off for her, and helped with her autoimmune disease, Hashimotos, but Houghton told Hola! that she didnt eat clean and shed weight just to fit into sexy clothes and to find some relief. She was actually motivated to get into shape because she was thinking about family planning.
I knew that wanting to have a baby I want to be in the best shape of my life, she said. I really buckled down this summer and just made it happen. I got into a routine of working out, so that the day Im pregnant, I can continue to be consistent with working out.
Houghton already has in mind what shell be wearing when shes with child soon enough, and shes going for what will hug her figure and of course, her future bump. Shes going to take a page from the style of some of her favorite A-listers.
For my body type I definitely know that Ill have to wear more bodycon or form fitting things that like will show that Im pregnant so that you dont just think Im just out here, you know, eating burritos and stuff, she said. I think Jennifer Lopez was incredible, and she was carrying twins. I loved Kourtney Kardashians and Chrissy Teigen. Just recently looking at someone like Shay Mitchell who looked amazing throughout her maternity photos as well.
Of course, Houghton has been open since 2017 about wanting to have a child with husband Israel Houghton. It didnt initially happen as hoped, but shes not given up faith that its going to happen at the right time.
Im really enjoying the process of making it! Thats been a good time, she said earlier this year. I joked around on my show but obviously there is a realness to the fact that not everybody gets pregnant the first time they try. For me it just hasnt been that way. We actually started trying in August so I know a lot of people were like, Oh my God. I do want to clarify, I dont have fertility issues. I think it is important [to say that] because thats a really serious thing, you shouldnt throw that around. But we do have to be just more sensitive in general. I thought I could try and it would just happen and it didnt work out that way, but I do believe in Gods timing. Im in no rush, and were enjoying ourselves.
