Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom and now Teyana Taylor and Imani Shumpert Jr both have new baby girl Virgos!

Perry and Bloom announced the arrival of their first child together, Daisy Dove Bloom, via UNICEF as the couple are Goodwil Ambassadors for the charity, sharing back on August 27th a black and white photo of the newborn holding onto her daddy’s finger.

And on editor Jay Jay’s birthday, Septembe 6, Taylor and Shumpert welcomed their second child, daughter Rue Rose inside their bathroom just like Rue’s big sister 4 years earlier.

At 3:28 am on Sept 6th 2020 Rue Rose ? decided that the baby shower thrown for her and mommy was too lit,” Shumpert said on Instagram of Sunday’s special delivery. “She didn’t make the party but she managed to make the next day her birthdate!!!”

The NBA shooting guard added, “Now…when we buy homes, we always find a bathroom with great energy… but not in a million years would you be able to tell me we’d deliver both of our daughters in a bathroom without the assistance of a hospital!”

Shumpert said of he and his wife’s newborn, she  “entered the world in the water and came out looking around and ready to explore!”

“A healthy child. A little sister. Another daughter. Black love wins….again. Welcome babygirl…we love you! ? @babyruerose,” he continued.

Taylor also posted an Instagram video of her baby girl, adding the message: “We love you Rue, welcome baby girl @babyruerose ???❤️.”

She announced her pregnancy in June via a music video. Later that month, Taylor also shared that Erykah Badu planned to be her midwife.

And Taylor willed a second bathroom birth during an appearance on actor, recording artist and TV host Nick Cannon‘s podcasts when she said,

“I don’t know if I want to go to the hospital for this next baby…I’ll make sure it’s not on the toilet or the bathroom floor.”

And about that Baby Shower (post coming soon)

 

Singer and Doula Erykah Badu will Deliver Teyana Taylor’s Baby

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SGzbxqPCQ8

Neo-soul singer and actress Erykah Badu will help deliver singer Teyana Taylor‘s second child at home.

Taylor told several media entities this week the news while promoting her new project, “The Album”, which debuted on June 19th that Badu will be there to usher in Taylor and hubby Cleveland Cavalier‘s Iman Shumpert‘s newest baby into the world.

Badu is a licensed doula with over a decade of experience and who has delivered several babies already.

Home births are nothing new for this family.

Taylor gave birth to her first child, daughter Iman Jr, on their bathroom floor with the help of dad Iman senior in 2015. The baby was crowning and arriving too fast for the couple to get Taylor to the hospital in time and had to take matters into their own hands.

We have a feeling they will be just fine this second time around.

Badu even helped deliver model Slick Woods’ baby last year.

They’re keeping it in the family. Badu is featured on the song “Low Key” on Taylor’s album which  includes a remix to the chorus of Badu’s 90s hit song, “Next Lifetime.”

Badu says she was called to become a doula in 2001 after helping deliver a friend’s baby, according to a 2011 magazine interview she gave  to PEOPLE magazine’s print edition

“I’ve always had a mothering nature. But I didn’t plan on becoming a doula. I just wanted to care for my family and friends,” she told the celebrity mag.  “When I saw the baby, I cried. I knew what I was supposed to do with my life.”

She then read up on the job, and  began offering her services for free to family and friends. She eventually became the spokeswoman for the International Center for Traditional Childbearing and later got certified with the intention to open up a chain of centers in the inner cities, the Toronto Sun reported back in 2011.

Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert are Expecting Second Child

While teasing a video from a song off her upcoming album, Teyana Taylor, revealed that she is expecting her second child.

In the final scene of the video to “Wake Up Love“, (above) the entire family is laying in an oversized bed. Her 4-year old daughter Iman Junior and husband Cleveland Cavaliers Iman Shumpert hug and kiss her belly after she reveals her adorable bump hiding underneath her white tank top.

It’s an adorable tender song that also features Shumpert Senior rapping during an interlude in the R&B song.

The “How You Want It?” singer received wide spread attention as the amazing dancer with the crazy fit body in the video for Kanye West’s song, Fade.

Shumpert Senior actually helped usher their daughter into the world in the bathroom during an emergency delivery back in 2015. Amazing! What a dad!

Taylor’s latest project is set to drop this Friday, June 19th on Juneteenth which is appropriate given her daughter’s nickname is Junie or June bug.

Congrats!

Essence Features Fierce Warrior Moms in Summer Issues

Essence magazine features three fashionable mom business and fashion stars: supermodel Iman; singer Ciara, and singer and dancer Teyana Taylor and

Loving all three of their respective covers and Alicia Keys‘ (another blog Bumpwatch alum) cover from this past month.

In the magazine, Iman talks about her career and how motherhood factored into her being a makeup mogul before Rihanna came to knock it out the park with her Fenty Beauty.

“When I came on the scene, I was catering to women of all skin colors,” Iman explains. “Regardless of what hue you are, as long as you are a woman with skin of color, whether you are Asian, Latina or African, I opened that gate. And Fenty knocked the gate out.”

Taylor discusses her plans to pass on positive messages to her daughter Junie.

“I’m just teaching her early: ‘You are beautiful, you are smart, you are magic,’ ” she told the mag and added that she is hoping to show her the power of love and commitment through her relationship with husband Cleveland Cavaliers NBA star Imani Shumpert. “Love is important.”

Ciara talks about how being a wife and mom changed her life.

“I’m trying to keep getting better, make health-conscious decisions and be the best mom and wife I can be,” she says. “No matter how much success you have, I believe there’s always an opportunity to grow and learn something new. And I’m keeping my sexy up too.” Duly noted.

In this month’s cover issue, another Bumpwatch alum Alicia Keys talks about motherhood:

“Man, becoming a wife and a mother, specifically a mother, really taught me so much,” Keys reveals. “I remember clearly wanting to remove the negative energy around me quickly, and prior to that, I didn’t feel so drawn to do that for myself. But doing it for this new soul made sense to me.”

Her issue is on stands now so you can read the rest of her interview.

Proud. Thank you for having me @Essence. ❤️

Celebrity Trend: Naming Baby Girls Junior After Dad

Hmmm… Is this a trend of celebrities naming their baby girls after their dads?

Could be! As the institutional memory in celebrity pregnancy online content, I have noticed a pattern.

Vanessa and Kobe Bryant chose to name their newest arrival, daughter Capri Kobe Bryant.

Two years ago, tennis ace and newest Wheaties box cover model Serena Williams named her daughter after her husband, who famously has a name that is usually given to a girl anyway: Alexis.

Alexis Olympia Ohanian, Jr. is named after dad, Reddit co-founder and investor Alexis Ohanian. (She boasts over a half a million followers on Instagram)

Similarly, NBA star Imani Shumpert has a unisex first name that usually is given to girls and thus it’s not a stretch to have his daughter with singer, model and dancer Teyana Taylor be named Imani Shumpert, Jr. (though she is affectionately nicknamed “Junebug” and has 444K followers)

I must admit, the “Junior” at the end adds an extra layer of “kicking conventionality in the buttocks” to me! Gotta love it!
