Drummond also shared that the baby's due date is "around New Year's Day" and that she and her husband Ladd are "so happy" to become grandparents.

"We have no idea what being grandparents will look like or how much it will change our lives," she continued. "I will probably watch less Bravo, maybe? (Maybe not.)."

Alex is the eldest of the Drummond children, which also includes daughter Paige, 24, and sons Bryce, 21, and Todd, 20. The couple also have a foster son named Jamar, whom they introduced to the public for the first time in 2020.
