Let’s just give it 2 you straight: Da Brat is about to be a mom.
The 48-year-old “Funkdafied” rapper is pregnant and expecting her first child with wife Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart later this year.
“BLESSINGS all 2023,” Da Brat wrote on Instagram Feb. 21 while displaying her baby bump in an unbuttoned Chicago Bulls jersey. “Thanks so much to @hopefertility for helping us on our journey.”
While Da Brat—born Shawntae Harris—admitted that she didn’t see herself as a mom for much of her life, all things changed when she married Judy, who has three kids from a previous relationship, in February 2022.
“I never thought I was going to have kids,” she told People in an interview published Feb. 21. “I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me. I’ve had a great career, a full life. I felt like, because I didn’t get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn’t going to happen for me.”
