Congrats to New Edition singer Ronnie Devoe and his wife Shamari Fears Devoe, formerly of 90s R&B group Blaque, on expecting twins!
The boy band member took to his Instagram to share a very cute announcement sharing the news.
“SURPRISE!! Guess what we’re having? —> #TWINS!! <—,” DeVoe captioned a photo of himself wearing a shirt titled “The Man behind the bump” and his wife carrying a sign that says “Suprise! Twins” with an arrow pointing towards Shamri’s baby bump.
“That’s right, the DeVoe Twins are coming!! @ShamariDeVoe and I couldn’t be happier …We’ve been blessed with not 1, but 2 amazingly, incredible bundles of joy. GOD is so good!! We thank all of you for sending your prayers, well wishes and support! Keep it coming… Love you to Life…!”
The couple married in 2006. Shamari was a member of the 1990s group Blaque which had hit singles like “808” and “Bring it All to Me“. She and her fellow members co-starred in the pop culture hit film “Bring it On.”
Tragically, one third of their founding members Natina Reed died in 2012 from a hit and run accident. Sadly, the group’s founder Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes of the group TLC also died in a car accident in Honduras in 2002.
Devoe is the second to last of New Edition members to have a baby. Only Ricky Bell and his wife are without children.
The Devoes announced the pregnancy itself three months ago, also on Instagram.
