Simon Cowell isn’t the only celebrity to welcome a baby on Valentine’s Day!

Run’s House’ Vanessa Simmons Instagrams Belly photo

Posted on January 16, 2014

Instagram

Actress and reality TV star Vanessa Simmons shared a photo of herself and her blossoming belly to her Instagram fans recently.

“First lunch meeting of 2013,” the MTV star from Run’s House and Daddy’s Girls captioned the photo.

Simmons’ dad is Hip Hop legend Rev Run and uncle is business mogul Russell Simmons. She announced in September 2013 that she and boyfriend Mike Wayans, son of veteran TV actor Damon Wayans are expecting their first child together.

She’d been MIA for months due to extreme morning sickness. She told Essence.com that cherry-flavored Slurpees are her weakness.

“Every time my mom calls me she asks, ‘Where’s Mike?’ and I’m like, ‘He’s at 7-Eleven,” she confessed.

Simmons also noted that she’s not rushing down the aisle just yet.

“I don’t want to be a pregnant bride,” she told the site. “I wanna have a beautiful wedding, hopefully a destination wedding where I can show off my figure in a beautiful long flowing dress.”
