Candiace Dillard Bassett is spilling all about her relationship with her longtime love, Chris Bassett. These days, the couple is navigating life with their baby son, Jett Maxwell Lee Bassett, but Candiace shared some insight into the early days of their relationship from their first date to the day he asked her to marry him and start their happily ever after.

"A decade with anyone is wild! Today marks the 10-year anniversary of our first date!" Candiace shared on Instagram this week, which featured moments from not their first date, but from the day Chris asked Candiace to marry him.

The Real Housewives of Potomac alum went on to reflect on that moment: "[Chris], through it all I have always been grateful for our friendship that turned into love, and for the blessing of being able to maintain that beautiful friendship in the midst of it all. I’ll never forget this perfect day and how you went out of your way to make it everything I always wanted and more from the perfect ring to making sure that all of the people we love were present… And how you all kept that secret for a month, I will never understand. Some of your best work! Happy Annyyyyy!!! I love you the most. Bring me home some pasta! Lol."

Cut to 10 years later and they are happily married and with a little son in their lives. While it's clear Candiace and Chris have sweet memories to look back on, they're also creating new ones thanks to their son, who was born last October.

“He has three children (from previous relationships), and I’ve seen him be an amazing father to his kids. But, you know, a newborn is like a whole other ball of wax. It can be tiring, it can be exhausting, it can be unpredictable. So I was like, how is this about to be?” Candiace told The Daily Dish ​​​​​​in an exclusive interview earlier this year. 

 

But, they've found a great balance as parents to their baby boy: "He’s [Chris] like an army soldier. He knew exactly what to do.”

Candiace Dillard Bassett opens up aboout being a mom

In the same chat with us, when describing her son's nursery, Candiace opened up more about her life as a mom.  

"I love his nursery, and he loves his room. He'll lie in his crib, and he'll stare at the wallpaper. It's very Alice in Wonderland. Lots of foliage and trees. And I'm a neutral girl. They call moms that don't do color, they call us sad beige moms. But I'm a very proud, sad beige mom. I just don't see the need to do 15,000 colors. It doesn't go with the scheme in my home. You need to fit into my life, child," she said.

Candiace went on to say,  she'd actually rebrand it as "sexy, beige baddies" because "being a mom is like a literal superpower, and I've always known that and had a lot of respect for all of my mom friends and just moms in general. But when you go through it, and I feel like I went through a portal and I came out on the other end, and, yes, I'm a sexy beige baddy."

Of course, Candiace is not only busy being a mom but is also taking on cool career opportunities, and we have all the details.
