Stephanie’s YouTube page tagged “African and Pregnant” talks about her journey to getting pregnant. She also revealed that she had to go through the long process of doing an IVF in Los Angeles.

Coker and her husband, Olumide Aderinokun welcomed their first baby together back in 2019. The media personality took to her Instagram page on Monday, November 25, 2019, where she shared a video of herself and a big belly bump.

While others stated that her coming out to say her truth will help other women who have difficulty getting pregnant naturally, to embrace other options for fertility.
