Congratulations are in order for Eve, who announced Friday (Oct. 15) that she’s expecting her first child with husband Maximillion Cooper.
“Can you believe it @mrgumball3000 we finally get to tell everyone!!!!!” she captioned two photos of the stylist MC showing off her baby bump, which both her and Cooper’s hands caressed in the second shot. “You all know how long we’v [sic] been waiting for this blessing!!! We get to meet our lil human February 2022.”
The 42-year-old rapper, who has been married to Cooper since 2014, is already a stepmother to his four children from a previous marriage: Lotus, 19, Jagger, 17, Cash, 15, and Mini, 13. Cooper shared the same set of images on his Instagram account, “Very excited to share this news… we have a lil human on the way!”
Swizz Beatz, who signed Eve to his Ruff Ryders label imprint Full Surface Records in the ’90s, commented, “Congrats Queen” before joking that he and wife Alicia Keys were “the God parents.” The megawatt producer is serving as the executive music producer of ABC’s new series Queens, starring Eve, Brandy, Naturi Naughton and Nadine Velazquez as a ’90s girl group called the Nasty Bitches trying to shine once more in the spotlight.
Naughton wrote underneath Eve’s post, “Yessss!!! I’m so glad it’s out! Congratulations girl!!! soo happy for you guys.” Trina also sent an arrangement of orange heart emojis after the two went head-to-head in a Verzuz battle back in June.
