Congrats are in order for Erin Lichy!
The “Real Housewives of New York City” star is pregnant and expecting her fourth baby with her husband, Abe Lichy, a rep for the couple told People.
“It feels like adding another act to the circus!” the reality star, who shares sons Levi, 9, Elijah, 4, and daughter Layla, 7, with Abe, jokingly told the outlet.
“Work and life have been so busy that I haven’t really had a chance to even think about how it’ll change things, but I think it will be pretty seamless to be honest. Three vs. four kids doesn’t seem so scary.”
Erin, 37, said she found out she was pregnant while she was out with her husband and some pals.
“I was out East with Abe and some friends when I suddenly became super sensitive to smells around me. That’s when I knew — I thought, ‘Damn. Here we go again!’” she said.
The Bravo star continued dealing with the sensitivities throughout her first trimester.
“The first 10 weeks were rough. I was exhausted and nauseous all the time,” she admitted.
“Since then, not so bad!” she shared, adding that she is now able to fully indulge in her cravings, such as “cold drinks, Pinkberry and Greek yogurt, Italian food and French fries.”
Erin also shared that she and Abe have not found out the sex of the baby but will “probably know soon.”
News of the Bravolebrity’s pregnancy comes after she and the Mezcalum co-founder were dealing with some marital woes.
During an interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” last week, Abe said they had financial issues after he left his law firm job to start a handbag business with his wife.
“We had a handbag business, which I think they show a clip of on the show. This was something that I left my white shoe law firm to start with Erin, and we put all our money into it, self-funded it, and it got to the point where we weren’t really making any money from it,” he shared.
“So we lost all our cash, and it was a very expensive MBA. I learned a lot.”
When the handbag company failed, the couple was expecting their second child and his father had died from brain cancer.
“We had no cash, and so we had all the debt from this business, and it was our business, not hers. I want to clear that up, because it’s not like I’m paying for her business, it was our business. And, so, it was just the aftermath of that,” he shared.
Abe said he started to keep things from Erin because he “didn’t want to add pressure” and because he felt a responsibility to “provide” for her in their marriage.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, have since gotten to a better place.
“We’re able to have just an open and honest relationship from that,” Abe told Page Six.
