A “Dancing With the Stars” alum has shared some new pictures of her infant daughter.
Maria Menounos and her husband, Keven Undergaro, welcomed their first child together in July 2023 by way of a surrogate after years of trying to conceive.
Menounos and Undergaro introduced baby Athena to the world via an exclusive in Us Weekly. The couple has chosen not to share photos of the baby’s face on social media, but made an exception for her three-month birthday.
“3 months old today! Kev and I really want to keep her little face off social BUT no one ever saw her smile because she was too little when we shot the magazine cover. Anyway, while she’s still little I figure I get this one post out as she LIGHTS up our day everyday and I hope she can light yours up to! We love her soooooo much we may explode!!!” Menounos captioned the post.

Menounos, who has been married to Undergaro since 2017, explained that she tried everything to get pregnant.

Baby Athena made them a family of three in July 2023.
“It was the most special moment of my life,” Menounos told Us Weekly of her daughter’s birth. “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,” she added.
