Maria Menounos: Her daughter celebrated her first birthday - "We are grateful for every moment with you"

The popular Greek-American presenter and her husband became parents for the first time a year ago, welcoming their daughter into the world on June 23, 2023, via surrogate.

Since then, Maria Menounos has shared with her online friends various snapshots of her new daily life in the company of her daughter, who, in fact, was baptized about two months ago, taking the name Athena-Alexandra, with godmother Marietta Chrousala.
