Athena followed in December 2024. (Brownlee has never publicly identified the father of her children.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;I was quite young when I had River. I was 19, which I do feel like is quite young,&#8221; the social media star recalled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-moms\/news\/why-sophia-grace-brownlee-doesnt-regret-becoming-a-young-mom-at-19\/\"><span class=\"s2\">on the &#8220;Private Story&#8221; podcast<\/span><\/a> in February, recalling her experience as a young mother. &#8220;I don&#8217;t regret, like, doing anything because I&#8217;m quite happy with where I am now. When I had Athena, I was 21, which is a bit more older.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She continued at the time, &#8220;It&#8217;s obviously young to have kids, but I don&#8217;t really think there&#8217;s a right age to have kids as long as you&#8217;re ready and you&#8217;re mature enough, that&#8217;s all that matters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For Brownlee, she stated that she felt &#8220;financially stable&#8221; enough to have a family because of her childhood fame and salary.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/durhammovinghub.com\/?p=2444\">Guardians MLB Game Featuring Travis Kelce Appearance Postponed Last Minute<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;If I wasn&#8217;t, like, I would have been struggling a lot,&#8221; she acknowledged. &#8220;So, yeah, I&#8217;m blessed to have been in that situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">While Brownlee has enjoyed motherhood, it has taken her awhile to feel comfortable after an admittedly scary childbirth experience.<\/p>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;It actually went quite bad with River. It wasn&#8217;t a nice experience,&#8221; she recalled on the podcast. &#8220;I went into labor naturally, and I was just a week early, which is common. That&#8217;s not a problem, and everything was fine. It just, kind of, got bad when you&#8217;re actually trying to push the baby out. He was getting really stressed out, and he just wouldn&#8217;t come down properly like how [babies] are supposed to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Brownlee added, &#8220;Loads of different doctors and surgeons [came into my room], which is so scary. I was, like, \u2018What&#8217;s happening?&#8217; They were, like, \u2018We think we&#8217;re going to have to do a C-section because the baby&#8217;s getting distressed.&#8217; I was just so scared that they were going to put me to sleep \u2018cause that is one of my biggest fears because I think I&#8217;m not going to wake up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Brownlee, who found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-moms\/news\/ellen-degeneres-show-alum-sophia-grace-brownlee-gives-birth\/\">her emergency C-section<\/a> to be &#8220;one of the scariest times&#8221; in her life, later had a vaginal delivery &#8211; also known as a VBAC, or vaginal birth after C-section &#8211; with baby No. 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;Because I had a C-section, they were like, \u2018We&#8217;re going to book you in for another one,'&#8221; she said in February of welcoming Athena. &#8220;That&#8217;s what they like to do, but the midwives were, like, \u2018No, we think you can have her naturally, so at least try.&#8217; I did, and it went so quickly. \u2026 I was so proud of myself, and I was glad I got to experience a natural birth, which I would choose every time over a C-section.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/durhammovinghub.com\/?p=2442\">Durham firefighters respond to large apartment fire on University Drive<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Copyright 2026 Us Weekly.
