In a recent episode of the talk show “The Ellen Degeneres Show,” host Ellen Degeneres had a special guest: Sherri Shepherd and her new baby. The episode was filled with laughter and candid moments as Shepherd shared her experiences as a new mother.
Shepherd opened up about the challenges of being a mom, particularly the lack of sleep. With a newborn baby to care for, Shepherd confessed that finding time to be intimate with her husband was difficult. She humorously mentioned that husbands don’t really care about the baby as much as they care about having sex, adding a touch of relatability to her story.
Despite the sleepless nights, Shepherd managed to retain her sense of humor and shared a funny incident involving her husband and a camera. Shepherd’s husband, wanting to capture a funny moment for the show, asked her to say something funny while she was in the midst of labor. Shepherd, not exactly in the mood for jokes, responded with a witty remark that had the audience in stitches.
Shepherd also spoke about her premature baby, who was born at 25 weeks. The little one had started his life weighing just a pound and 10 ounces. Shepherd expressed her gratitude for the miracles that helped her baby overcome the obstacles he faced. She even mentioned that her son was born on her birthday, making it the best birthday present she could have asked for.
During the conversation, Shepherd couldn’t help but mention the challenges of dressing up for her husband after giving birth. She recounted a shopping experience at Victoria’s Secret, where she purchased a contraption with a lot of holes in it. Shepherd jokingly admitted that nothing with a lot of holes looks good on a woman who just had a baby, except maybe Denise Richard.
In the midst of the entertaining banter, Shepherd introduced her baby, Jeffrey Charles Jr., to Ellen and the audience. Jeffrey, bundled up in a cozy onesie, seemed to be comfortable in the midst of all the noise and attention. Shepherd expressed her desire to have another baby and mentioned that she and her husband were planning to revisit the invitro clinic to give Jeffrey a sibling.
As the interview came to a close, Shepherd shared one of the hardest parts about being a mom – the constant struggle to keep her husband satisfied while simultaneously taking care of their baby. Shepherd humorously explained that her husband’s birthday coincided with the day they were filming, making her already exhausted self even more tired.
Overall, it was an episode filled with laughter, candid moments, and relatable stories. Shepherd’s humor and honesty made the interview a joy to watch, leaving everyone with a smile on their face. Sherri Shepherd‘s appearance on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” proved once again why talk shows continue to be a popular source of entertainment for viewers.
