Garcelle Beauvais Is Set to Be a Grandma Again: "So Exciting"
The RHOBH cast member confirmed her oldest son, Oliver Saunders, is expecting a child with his girlfriend, Shantei Paranada.
Garcelle Beauvais’ family is about to get a little bigger.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills mom announced the news via Instagram this week when she shared a celebratory post from her oldest son, Oliver Saunders. The June 28 Instagram Story showed the Nevada dad standing in the desert with a sign that read, “Baby Girl.” Oliver confirmed that the snap was taken during an intimate event in which he and his girlfriend, Shantei Paranada, learned they were expecting a daughter together.
The couple posted a video that showed pink firecrackers exploding in the sky before a smiling Shantei showed off her growing baby bump. They then revealed the baby girl’s name: Valley Marie-Claire Saunders, a tribute to Shantei’s grandmother.
