The past six years have been full of ups and downs for Maria Menounos. And sure, you could say that about anyone, but in Maria’s case, the downs were VERY down.
The 45-year-old star went on her Instagram account on Wednesday to reflect a little bit. As some of you may know, she just welcomed her first baby back in June via surrogate, so life’s been a little busy.
She wrote to her followers:
Hi friends! Motherhood is going great. She’s currently asleep on me as we get some morning light. I’m so in love it’s crazy.
She also shared this adorable photo…

Then she looked back at the past six years of her life…
I look back at the last six years — it’s been kinda crazy. Mom gets a brain tumor, then me, two brain surgeries later, then both my parents are hospitalized with covid, then I lost my mom, then I got diagnosed with type one diabetes, then a Neuro endocrine tumor on my pancreas…some other crazy stuff in between too. Just that list makes me so grateful to be alive and to have thrived. To be here to enjoy this beautiful little girl. Thank you god!
She revealed her husband, Keven Undergaro, has helped her a lot through the difficult times, reminding her to take time to pause and process all of the big life events.
We certainly hope the next six years of her life are a little calmer.
