"BEAURTIFUL and our BABY BOY performed today," Harris-Dupart captioned the post.
Da Brat and Harris-Dupart revealed that they were expecting a child in February. The news came after the couple experienced a miscarriage in 2022.
"I never thought I was going to have kids," Da Brat told People when announcing her pregnancy. "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."
"It's just a blessing. I’m excited!" she added at the time, "I don't have any cravings or nausea, but I’m always sleepy. It's crazy!"
