One of Bravo's resident doctors, Nicole Martin, MD, has proudly said she’s a woman who wears many hats. In addition to starring in The Real Housewives of Miami, Dr. Nicole is a board-certified anesthesiologist, an award-winning teacher, a lecturer, and a style maven who has received praise (and blog posts) praising her for her fashions.
Nicole has multiple titles associated with her name but is proud of her role as her son, Greyson's mom. In November 2023, Nicole and her fiance, Anthony Lopez, announced they were expanding their family even more!
During an exclusive chat with Distractify, Nicole discussed baby No. 2 and which of her co-stars found out about her second pregnancy first.
Who are Nicole Martin's kids? She talked about having more babies!
Nicole joined RHOM in Season 4 as one of the newer cast members after the show's eight-year hiatus. Two years before she became a part of the cast, she and her now-husband Anthony Lopez welcomed their son, Greyson, into the world in 2019.
Following Greyson's birth, Nicole and Anthony became engaged in 2021. Since then, fans of the show have wondered when the lovebirds will walk down the aisle. Although Nicole and Anthony haven't set a date yet, they shared with fans that a "Baby Lopez" would come in April 2024.
On Nov. 2, 2023, Nicole and Anthony announced on Instagram that she was pregnant via a faux newspaper that read "Baby Lopez coming soon." After announcing her pregnancy, Nicole received tons of support from her RHOM cast members and other Bravolebrities.
However, while discussing her partnership with Clorox, Nicole told Distractify she was more concerned with how Greyson felt about the new baby. Fortunately for her and Anthony, Greyson is "super excited" about being a big brother, though Nicole said she fears that could change once the baby arrives.
"He was actually the one that kept pushing the sibling on us," Nicole shared with Distractify. "He was like, 'Am I gonna have a little brother or a little sister?' I hope it stays [in] excitement."
"All my friends that have two are always like, 'Oh, when the second one comes, the first one is gonna get jealous,'" she added. "So I'm not sure how he's going to react once the baby gets here. But right now, we're in the excitement phase. And I'm going to enjoy the excitement phase as long as possible."
Nicole gave birth to her and Anthony's second child, daughter Genevieve Nicole Lopez, in late March 2024, surprising everyone by arriving about a month before their anticipated due date of April 23.
Announcing the joyful news via an Instagram Story on March 28, 2024, the anesthesiologist shared her experience from her hospital bed. She expressed gratitude for the flood of messages, adding, "It has been hectic, to say the least, but mommy and baby girl are recovering from a C-section that was earlier than expected, but here we are."
Despite the early delivery, Nicole reassured her followers that she and her daughter were recuperating smoothly. She continued, "I will probably take a[n] Instagram break for a few as we recover, but, overall, we are doing well, and I'm feeling OK. A little nauseous, but otherwise not too bad, and baby girl is trying to figure things out. So, stay tuned for more updates."
Just a week later, Nicole delighted her Instagram followers by sharing photos of her newborn daughter. Genevieve can be seen cuddling up with her big brother Greyson, who appeared elated, giving a thumbs-up to the camera. In subsequent images, Greyson was captured smiling and tenderly kissing his sister on the head as they embraced.
Nicole says Guerdy Abraira was the first of the 'RHOM' cast to know she was expecting baby No.2.
Nicole's son wasn't the only one excited about her pregnancy with baby No. 2! Her RHOM bestie, Guerdy Abraira, almost immediately kickstarted her new "Auntie Guerdy" era.
Before she announced her pregnancy on Instagram, Nicole told us Guerdy was the first of her castmates to know she was expecting, followed by Julia Lemigova. Fans of the show shouldn’t be surprised, as the RHOM newbies have been close from their first season.
"I just think I've naturally gravitated toward them; we came onto the cast at the same time," Nicole said of Guerdy and Julia. "So I think our housewife experience have been very similar. And we've gone through the growing pains of joining the cast together. And I think that's a special bond that we will always share."
"And so I think we're naturally closer, just like the OGs are naturally closer because they've been through similar things together," she continued. "So they were the first ones to know they were both very excited."
Nicole said both Guerdy and Julia, who have older children, volunteered to take turns babysitting Genevieve for her. It's an offer Nicole will likely accept once the baby is born.
