WhenRebecca Minkoffwas in a sticky breastfeeding situation, her husband Gavin Bellour didn’t hesitate to come to her rescue.

On the Oct. 22 episode ofThe Real Housewives of New York City, the fashion designer, 42, revealed that the director once sucked out her breastmilk in an emergency situation where she couldn’t pump.

During a girls trip toErin Lichy’s Hamptons house, Rebecca confessed she felt “dehydrated” despite drinking water to aid her milk production as she was still breastfeeding her fourth child, Leonardo Scout.

“There’s nothing worse than not emptying. It’s so uncomfortable,” she sighed as her fellow cast memberSai de Silvaagreed, “It’s so painful.”

“One time, Gavin and I went to a club in Paris, and I felt like that feeling,” Rebecca recalled. “And I was like, ‘F— babe, you’re gonna have to sort me out. We’re gonna go to the bathroom right now. You need to release me.’ And he took one for the team.”

After the gesture, she added that Gavin “spit” out the contents. Though she welcomed Leonardo a year ago, Rebecca revealed that she had no intentions of slowing down on breast feeding.

After getting married in June 2009, Rebecca and Gavin have gone on to welcome four children: Luca, 12, Bowie, 10, Nico, 5, and Leonardo, 19 months.
