Maria Menounos & Husband Keven Undergaro Welcome ‘Miracle Baby’ Via Surrogate
Maria Menounos is a mom! She and her husband Keven Undergaro welcomed their daughter Athena Alexandra on June 23 via surrogate. “The doctor literally grabbed her and hiked her onto me. I sat with her on my chest, and Keven and I kept looking at each other like, ‘Oh, my God.’ It was just pure joy. Athena is our miracle baby. I’m so grateful for her,” she told Us Weekly. Maria continued sharing what it feels like to be a mom. “Better than I could’ve ever imagined. It’s euphoric. For so long, I’ve felt something’s been missing. I’d go to kids’ birthday parties, and I’d be a little sad because I wanted my own family. And now I feel so grounded, like I finally know where I belong.” Maria opened up about her name. “We knew we wanted a Greek name. We had a list, and everyone says when you see the baby, you’ll know, but that was totally untrue for us. We were like, ‘What do we do?’ Athena is the goddess of war and wisdom, and Keven loved the power of that name, so that was it,” she revealed.
