Anjelah Johnson's Husband Manwell Reyes Is Good at Executing His Ideas

The Couple Is Expecting Their First Baby
Before 2022 ended, Johnson and her longtime husband announced they would begin a new chapter in their lives as parents. They are now expecting their little bundle of joy.
With a baby on the way, Reyes admitted to KTLA5 in January 2023 that her first trimester was challenging, but she managed to overcome it. She also said she had learned so much about her body.
