Rossi and Smiley’s long road to parenthood did not come easy! In a video segment aired on The Doctors, Rossi said, “After the first round of IVF when we lost 14 embryos I looked at Slade and was like ‘I just have to take a pause.’ It took a year and a half to get to the point where I was even willing to talk about it again.”
This is the moment when Rossi and Smiley found out that they were going to be parents! According to Rossi, their baby is due in July 2019.

“We are freaked out but in a good way,” Smiley said on-camera.
