Hello, yes, hello, you know what time it is – it’s time for a celebrity baby alert: Kelly Rowland has just announced the birth of her second child, born on January 21, 2021. (Which means, on 1 / 21/21 – symmetry!) The singer-slash-actor-slash-guide-parent’s guide shared the news on Saturday, posting a photo of their two children on Instagram.
“On the 21st, the 21st, 21st century, Noah Jon Weatherspoon
Greeted us! ”She wrote in the caption.
“We are truly grateful❤️❤️❤️❤️”
Like so many celebrities in the past year, Rowland has kept her pregnancy a secret for months. She debuted her baby belly in an interview with Zoom Women’s Health in October, almost six months later. Rowland said that she and her husband, Tim Weatherspoon, were speaking “vaguely” about having another baby – their eldest son, Titan, is six – when the coronavirus pandemic began.
“We were like, ‘Let’s see what happens,'” she said. Rowland became pregnant quickly, but initially felt reluctant to pass it on in the midst of a flood of bad news. “But you still want to remind people that life is important,” she explained. And in addition, she added: “I was thinking, Oh my God, my fans are going to be so disappointed … They wanted an album first, but they have a baby! And I was like, I have to find this out for them to understand. “
For the record, however, fans seem excited – at least based on the mountain of enthusiastic comments that pile up under his post, which received over a million likes at the time of writing.
Over the quarantine, the Destiny’s Child student released a handful of singles – including the very vibrant “Coffee”, which Rowland told Cut “made me feel like I could find that flow” in her sexuality – with her fifth album studio supposedly soon. In the meantime, congratulations on the new baby!
