Erin Lichy, star of The Real Housewives of New York City, has announced she’s expecting her fourth child with husband Abe. Known for juggling her busy career with motherhood, Lichy is ready to welcome “another act to the circus,” as she humorously puts it.
Erin Lichy Shares Excitement and Surprise
The reality star, 37, announced her pregnancy exclusively to PEOPLE, where she revealed the moment she suspected she might be expecting again. “I was out East with Abe and some friends when I suddenly became super sensitive to smells,” she shared. The realization came quickly: “That’s when I knew — I thought, ‘Damn. Here we go again!’”
Already a mom to three, Lichy and her husband Abe are no strangers to a full household. Their three children, Levi, 9, Layla, 7, and Elijah, 4, are set to welcome a new sibling, a change that Lichy expects to go smoothly. “Three vs. four kids doesn’t seem so scary,” she laughed, confident that her family is prepared for the addition.
From Exhaustion to Cravings: Erin’s Pregnancy Journey
Lichy has been open about her experience so far, noting that the first trimester wasn’t easy. “The first 10 weeks were rough,” she admits. “I was exhausted and nauseous all the time.” However, she’s now in a better phase and can fully indulge in her cravings.
These cravings have taken on a life of their own. “Cold drinks, Pinkberry, Greek yogurt, Italian food, and French fries are all I want!” she says. As someone constantly in the public eye, Lichy has kept her focus on her family and business, balancing her expanding family with her entrepreneurial ventures.
Juggling Family, Career, and an Expanding Household
Lichy’s life is already filled with responsibilities as a mother, reality TV star, and co-founder of Mezcalum, a premium mezcal brand. “Work and life have been so busy that I haven’t really had a chance to even think about how it’ll change things,” she shared. Despite the challenges, Lichy sees the addition of a fourth child as a manageable shift.
“Abe and I both have busy lives, but we’re always there for the kids,” she says, confident in their family’s adaptability. This resilient attitude has earned her respect among fans, who admire her ability to handle so much.
Celebrating with Future Plans and Name Ideas
As her pregnancy progresses, Lichy is looking forward to a few personal moments. “Mostly, I’m just looking forward to enjoying a Mezcalum cocktail and going out for a massive sushi dinner again!” she says. The humorous remark highlights her grounded approach to life, even as her family continues to grow.
While the couple hasn’t discovered the baby’s sex, they’re open to finding out soon. Lichy says they’ve “started floating around some name ideas,” but they haven’t made a final decision. This baby, she says, is already loved and eagerly anticipated.
