*As a brown-skinned Black woman, Candiace Dillard Bassett from “The Real Housewives of Potomac” says she is concerned about the possibility of having fair-skinned children with her white husband.
“I do have a fear of having light-skinned children,” she said during a recent episode of the Breakbeat Media podcast Don’t Call Me White Girl, ESSENCE reports.
“I want my kids to be brown. But they’re probably not gonna be brown. And I’m like, becoming okay with it. I want my kids to be brown. But if they’re not, it’s fine,” she said.
Dillard Bassett is married to chef Chris Bassett. When they first started dating, she didn’t consider the possibility that their children might have lighter skin.
She stated on the podcast, “I didn’t think about [that] when I was falling in love and like ‘Oh this is my husband. Oh wait I’m gonna have these swirly babies.’”
The Bassetts don’t have any children together but her husband has three children from previous relationships. According to Candiace, Chris is not in contact with their eldest child due to conflicts with the child’s mother.
“I have bonus kids. They’re wonderful,” Candiace said on the podcast.
“His two younger kids are amazing. We talk to them, they live out of state [so] we need to go see them and bring them to us,” she added.
“But they’re at that age where they’re, like, little adults and they have opinions and thoughts, and they have goals, like, talking about going to school,” Dillard Bassett said.
