It was reported earlier that LeRae’s contract will expire in May. Still, it’s believed that the company will now add some period to the agreement to cover the long hiatus of pregnancy that she announced back in August.

LeRae’s contract will now cover until 2023. However, there is still no word from her if she plans to re-sign with the company beyond the extension.
