Cynthia Rowley's younger daughter, Gigi Powers, shared a unique piece of personal history with her social media followers.
On Monday, Feb. 23, the content creator posted a TikTok detailing what she described as a "particularly funny story" about how she came into the world. Powers, 21, said her fashion designer mother and father, Rowley's husband Bill Powers, conceived through in vitro fertilization.
Going into the process, Powers said her mom "really wanted" to have a baby boy before she got pregnant with her second child.

"They really only put in boy embryos and one girl [embryo]," Powers said in her video before gesturing to herself and whispering, "Me."
She continued to say that a medical professional assured Rowley — who shares her eldest daughter, Kit Keenan, 26, with ex-husband Bill Keenan — about the expected outcome of her IVF. "The doctor literally said, 'You're having boys, at least twins,'" Powers told her TikTok followers, emphasizing, "At least twins."
Powers continued, "Needless to say, she got a daughter. I beat up all those boys."

Rowley's younger daughter recently started building up a following on social media, following in the footsteps of her older sister. Keenan initially rose to fame as a contestant on season 25 of The Bachelor, and since amassed over 347,000 TikTok followers and 435,000 followers on Instagram.
She largely focuses on sharing cooking content, branding herself as a "young Martha Stewart stuck in Blair Waldorf’s plotline," per her Instagram bio. She's previously opened up about establishing herself beyond her mom's legacy, despite some identifying her with Leighton Meester's socialite Gossip Girl character.
"I think people think that my life is like Gossip Girl, and I've gotten the Blair Waldorf thing. I've kind of played into it a little bit," she said on the Bachelor Happy Hour co-hosted by Rachel Lindsay and Becca Kufrin. "This is something that I've struggled with my entire life."

Keenan told the podcast hosts that she is so grateful for the "amazing opportunities and experiences" that have resulted from her background and upbringing. However, she noted that "at the end of the day, it's not like I'm going to fashion shows every day. That's part of my life."
She continued, "The glamorous things? Yes, I've been able to experience a lot of that, but it doesn't mean that I'm not down to cook dinner at home. I'm very much an introvert."
