Tamron Hall Shares the First Photo of Her Sweet Baby's Face
Tamron Hall shared the first photo of her baby's face in a People exclusive.
The former TODAY host also opened up about her fear of "losing" her baby, leading her to keep the pregnancy a secret.
She also admitted she struggled to remain optimistic during IVF.
In April, former TODAY host, Tamron Hall welcomed her first child, Moses. Hall, who'll be returning to daytime TV in the fall with a self-titled talk show, kept her pregnancy a secret until roughly a month before she delivered. In an Instagram post, the 48-year-old journalist explained, "I’ve wanted to share this news for many months and now finally my doctor has said I am in a safe place, at 32 weeks, to share my joy with y’all." She later told People, "I was high-risk, not just because of my age, but there were other medical factors too."
Hall, and her husband, music manager Steven Greener were initially trepidatious to share their story because, Hall said, "I was terrified I would lose this baby and I would have to go back and tell everyone that now it was bad news, and after this pregnancy had gone so far.” But now that she has a healthy little boy, she's opening up more about her IVF journey, and giving her fans a glimpse of his cherubic face.

Hall, who tried to conceive in her 30s told People, at that point, "I still felt like I had some time, and the fertility clinic felt like a bright room. In my 40s I saw all the gray: The faces looked gray, the walls were gray, nothing seemed shiny and optimistic.”
However, after leaving NBC in 2017, optimism is exactly what she needed.
“Just like with my job search during that time, there were so many frustrations: I’m putting in the work, I’m taking care of my mind and my body and I’m being rejected,” she explained. “I’m thinking, ‘Wait a minute. What have I done wrong here?’ Somehow, like Rocky, I kept getting up.” She soon realized, "I knew that my life had to be about something bigger than work.”

“My story is not one I could’ve ever expected,” she continued. “Two and a half years ago when I walked out of that NBC building, I was in a fog, not knowing that so many of us lose things we think are important, and we have no idea that something better is right there.”
That something better is this beaming (and may we add, stylish) baby boy.
