On February 23, 2019 My little miracle Boy was born. Since I was 15 years old I was told that the high doses of chemotherapy I got to fight my leukemia would cause me to be sterile. It was something I struggled with accepting for years. After 15 years and countless specialists I accepted the fact I would never have children of my own. God had other plans for me. The level of shock and disbelief I had when I found out I was pregnant naturally was unimaginable. I had spent half of my life believing I would never feel these feelings. To say this came without struggle would be a lie. The traditional family I’ve dreamed of my entire life is not something I have. The vision of love, marriage then baby I had wanted is gone. I decided to keep my pregnancy off of social media and enjoy the time without the opinions and comments of others. I contemplated never posting about it and carrying on but IM A MOM, I have a son, a beautiful little miracle who I’ll cherish the rest of my life and to not share this would be not sharing me

In the post, Parido also revealed she underwent a series of chemotherapies when she was a teen due to which the doctors had told her she could be sterile. She further added, fifteen years after the process, she found she got pregnant naturally but decided not to share the big news with her fans and enjoy the time without others' comments and opinions.

Meanwhile, the television personality hasn't revealed the father of her newborn. She previously married the Shahs of Sunset co-star Mike Shouhed on March 29, 2015, at the Biltmore Hotel, LA, however, the couple called it quits just five months later in August 2015.
