Adrienne Bailon Houghton has checked off many of the items on her life’s to-do list. She’s a multi-platinum selling artist as a former member of both 3LW and The Cheetah Girls. In addition, she’s an accomplished actress, appearing in television shows and films like Coach Carter, I’m In Love With A Church Girl, and The Cheetah Girls franchise. Not only that, but for the last nine years, Bailon has served as the co-host of The Real. Adrienne Bailon has no doubt accomplished a lot. On top of her long list of growing achievements, she also juggles being a wife. But there’s one thing that she’s been unable to do just yet, and that’s to have a baby.

The couple first met while working on I’m In Love With A Church Girl, in which Israel Houghton was a producer. According to a Facebook post from the gospel singer, the two remained friends throughout the years before choosing to “explore a dating relationship.” But within six months, they found that there was no need to explore anymore. It was time to solidify their union. Following an engagement announcement in August of 2016 where Adrienne Bailon flashed an enormous and beautiful diamond ring, it would only take three months before they got married. The couple exchanged vows in Paris, a moment which left Bailon feeling overwhelmed with joyous emotion.
She told PEOPLE that she was a mix of “genuinely […] blessed and grateful,” along with “peace” and “total excitement.” Overall, Adrienne Bailon Houghton expressed that she’d “honestly never been happier in my entire life” after marrying her husband.
