Real Housewives of Beverly Hills former star Diana Jenkins has welcomed her fourth child, a baby girl named Elodie Mae Book, with her partner Asher Monroe. Jenkins posted on Instagram on Wednesday, August 9, sharing pictures taken at the hospital along with the caption, "Welcome to the world our sweet little girl Meet Elodie Mae Book Born on 8.8.23 ⭐️."
Kyle Richards exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, I'm incredibly thrilled for all of you!" Meanwhile, Dorit Kemsley expressed, "I am overjoyed for all of you! Welcome to the world, gorgeous Elodie! I'm eagerly looking forward to meeting you. Sending abundant love to everyone!" Lisa Rinna also joined the conversation, eagerly stating, "I can hardly wait to meet your precious little 'angel'."
Jenkins announced her pregnancy in December 2022, a month before revealing her departure from RHOBH after just one season.
"Hello everyone... My husband Asher and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting our second child later this year," she wrote on Instagram in January. "Unfortunately, this pregnancy is considered high risk and I have been advised by my doctor to be on bed rest. Because of this, I am unable to fully commit to filming the upcoming season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I want to express my gratitude to Bravo and Evolution for understanding and supporting my decision to prioritize my pregnancy. I assure you that I will continue to share my fertility journey with all of you."
In a June 2022 episode of RHOBH, Jenkins disclosed that she experienced a miscarriage six months after giving birth to her daughter Eliyanah in 2020.
Jenkins, who is engaged to Monroe, first met at a Victoria's Secret fashion show in March 2010. Although they didn't start dating until a few years later, they jointly established the independent record label D Empire Entertainment in 2012.
Almost eight years later, the couple joyfully celebrated the arrival of their first child, a daughter named Eliyanah. Sharing an Instagram video of Monroe and their newborn, the entrepreneur expressed his gratitude to everyone and wished them a happy new year in 2020.
In 2021, Monroe opened up about his relationship with Jenkins and the immense support she has provided throughout his career.
"Diana has been my unwavering support throughout every challenge in life," he enthusiastically told Pop Hearts TV. "I owe a great deal of who I am today to her presence. I have always admired her for the way she leads her life as a role model, a survivor of war, a philanthropist, a mother, an entrepreneur, and much more. It's impossible to fully articulate the profound impact she has had on me."
Before her relationship with Monroe, Diana was previously married to Roger Jenkins from 1999 until 2011. They have a son named Innis, aged 22, and a daughter named Eneya, aged 19. Despite their separation in 2011, they have managed to maintain a friendly relationship.
"Will she receive half of my money? Absolutely. Without her, I wouldn't have achieved the level of success I enjoy," the banker shared with the Daily Mail, referring to their divorce. "I hold immense love for Diana and deeply admire her as a mother, businesswoman, and an exceptional wife. We have now moved forward and are truly content with the arrangements we have made in our lives. Diana will forever remain a source of joy in my life."
