Singer and songwriter Kelis recently announced that she delivered her baby girl, now making her a mother of three. The “Bossy” singer released a photo on Instagram of her holding her daughter’s hand with the caption, “She’s just the sweetest little thing.”
The new addition is Kelis’ second child with her husband of six years, Mike Mora, with her first being her 4-year-old son Shepherd. She also has an 11-year-old son, Knight, with her ex-husband and rapper Nas.
Kelis, 41, has been successful at keeping her pregnancy private with fans just recently finding out about her new bundle of joy in August. However, it wasn’t until September 11 when the superstar mom announced she delivered her daughter.
“Hey, so I’ve been kind of M.I.A…but for a really good reason ’cause I just had my baby!” Kelis said in an Instagram video. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and I’m generally a really private person, with my personal life, but I wanted to kind of bring my fam in, bring you guys in, to sort of talk about all of these women’s things we go through that no one really tells us about,” Kelis said.
Kelis plans on sharing her weight loss journey as she works on losing 50 to 60 pounds. Since she is unable to do strenuous exercise for at least six weeks, Kelis will solely rely on healthy eating to accomplish her goals.
“I can’t work out for the next six weeks and I don’t want to resort to wearing spandex for the rest of my life I want to show you how I plan on getting back into my high-waisted jeans, with just food, no exercise, and with just food. When they weighed me in I was 236, big girl, from where I was, my girl was a big baby! So I’ve got about 60, 50 to 60 lbs left to lose to be able to get back into my high waisted jeans.”
The “Milkshake” singer is offering fans who want to join her on her health journey three Gold Mine Boxes, which are selling fast, in honor of her new eating plan.
