Kelis Announces The Birth Of First Daughter After ‘Intense’ Labor

Singer Kelis recently welcomed her third child — and first daughter — to the world, revealing the news Friday via Instagram.

“Hey, so I’ve been kind of MIA…but for a really good reason cause I just had my baby!” Kelis, 41, revealed to fans with a smile. “It was intense. 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.”

The “Watch Your Step” songstress later reveals that she gave birth “a week ago.”

“I had a girl by the way — so I’m very excited about that — it’s my first girl!… I wanted to bring you into my process. I can’t work out for the next six weeks and if 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…”

The musician — who is also a professional chef — encouraged fans to purchase her Gold Mine Box culinary kits and eat alongside the star as she snaps back to her pre-pregnancy bod without working out.

The Harlem, New York, native announced her pregnancy in early August.

In addition to their newborn, Kelis and husband Mike Mora, 41, share 4-year-old son Shepherd. The pair have been married since 2014.

The R&B singer also has an 11-year-old son, Knight, with her ex-husband, rapper Nas.
