Leila, who was conceived after months of fertility treatment, is all grown up and looks beautiful. She is the spitting image of her mother, who has reported for both ABC and NBC.

A FASHIONISTA

Leila is a student at the American University of Paris. She loves to travel and has an interest in fashion.

"It varies from day to day. Some weeks I'll wear a lot of skirts; other weeks I'll wear tomboyish styles," Leila shared in an Instagram post.

"My style is fluid. Sometimes I like to be girly, and other times I like to be edgier," she added.

Her favorite celebrity style icons include Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian.

SHUTTING THE TROLLS DOWN

In 2017, Leila became the target of haters. But she calmly clapped back against them, saying: "To everyone that has mean things to say: First of all, leave me alone."

"I am 18 years old, I can wear what I want and do what I want. If that means I'm a sk***, or a sl** to you, so be it," she added.

Leila also pointed out that she looks a lot better and has done much more in life than her trolls.

"But thank you for continuing to be the barriers that set women back in being imprisoned by their looks," she concluded.
