Giovanna “Gigi” Ines is the name of Daphe Oz and John Jovanovic’s last child. Gigi, as her pet name says, joined the Jovanovic brood on August 14th, 2019, which pegs her current age at 4. The little girl came on a Wednesday precisely at 9:03 p.m. She measured 21 inches and weighed 8 lbs, 5 oz at birth.
Gigi is all shades of cuteness, and her family simply adores her. The Jovanovic clan got together in August 2021 to celebrate her birthday.
On her Instagram handle, Daphne described Gigi as a girl that fills the days with belly laughs, sweetness, and a few sneaky tricks and more. Dubbing Giovanna their family’s chatterbox of fun, the mother of four said she is forever cleaning up, cheerfully directing traffic (and her siblings). She also described her as the easiest companion and one that is often up for any adventures.
Gigi already started preschool; this became known in September 2021 when she was seen posing for shots on her first day at preschool.

Is Daphne Oz Expecting Another Child?
Daphne Oz is not expecting a fifth child. The rumors about the celebrity chef becoming a mother for the fifth time started making the rounds after she shared some Instagram pictures where she appeared to have added some weight. Many of her fans swore that she had a baby bump in the picture, but there are fans who suggested that the celebrity chef may have taken the pictures when she was pregnant with her last baby and was just sharing them then.
However, whichever may be the case, neither Daphne Oz nor her husband, John Jovanovic, has bothered to come up with a confirmation or rebuttal.
Important to note that these rumors started in 2022, and if it were to be true that Daphne conceived, she would have had the baby or at least be heavily pregnant, but that is not the case.
