“Yuuuuup! I’m a daddy!!!!! Meet our lil baby girl, Ayva,” Jay Sean (birth name  “She was born Kamaljit Singh Jhooti) wrote on his Instagram account). on the 13th December, weighing in at 6pounds 7ounces. It was the most incredible moment of my life seeing her enter this world.”

The couple married in 2009.

The doting dad described the birth:

Wifey @tharanatalie (who was unbelievably strong and composed thru it all btw- yogamommy!!) had a music playlist for her delivery – a mixture of diff artists and some of her fav songs – (including mine!) Would u believe of all the songs on the playlist she was born to daddy’s song!!?!!! She was born to ‘Luckiest Man.'”

Beautiful and Thara, who is a model and R&B singer signed to the same label as rapper Fabolous, made such a gorgeous pregnant woman! 

The yoga-aficionado modeled for Expecting Models  while expecting and practiced yoga to the end of her pregnancy. 

Nice!
