Haqq shared with her sister on their Facebook Watch show Side by Side, "The reason why I was so excited to learn that I was pregnant was because I knew that my life was going to change for the better, the greatest blessing that I've always wanted but didn't know I was going to get, is finally here."

Mallika said, "Deciding to freeze my eggs as a gift to myself on my 35th birthday was pretty hilarious now at this point because I have eggs in the freezer I may never use, I made a baby in love and those eggs weren't necessary."
