Kelly Rowland of Destiny’s Child has baby boy, gives him titanic name
Kelly Rowland has given birth to a little boy with a monolithic name.
The Destiny’s Child alum welcomed her first child -- Titan Jewell Weatherspoon -- with husband Tim Weatherspoon on Tuesday, her rep said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times.
“We are thrilled to announce that today we are the proud parents of our first son, Titan Jewell Weatherspoon,†Rowland said. “Titan was born at 1:30 pm [PT] and weighed 7.5 lbs. We are blessed to report everyone is healthy and happy!â€
No word yet on what inspired the mythological moniker, but Rowland previously told People, which first reported the news, that her hubby picked out the name and “it had to do with family.â€
Also, note that the last name is “Weatherspoon,†not “Witherspoon,†as most media outlets (including this one) have misspelled it since the couple got engaged at the end of January.
The 33-year-old Grammy winner secretly wed her manager-boyfriend in Costa Rica in May and announced in June that she was with child by sharing cryptic Instagram photo of baby Air Jordan sneakers with the caption: “I’ll be stuntin like my daddy.â€
She continued to chronicle the pregnancy on her Instagram feed.
In late July, the “Dirty Laundry†singer let it slip during a Fox 411 interview that the she was having a boy. And just last month, she bared her burgeoning belly for a nude photo spread in Elle magazine.
“[Pregnancy is] really -- I won’t say amazing -- it’s Godmazing,†she said with a laugh, “watching your body carry a human. I took a birthing class and I was amazed by all the things this woman was saying to me about birthing and what the body does naturally. Why wouldn’t you want to celebrate that? The body should be celebrated.â€
As for what type of mom she’ll be, Rowland told the fashion mag that she “plans to play it by ear.â€
“Everybody has their normal. And sometimes, award shows are a part of that,†she said after being asked if her future child would ever join her at a glitzy affair. “I have girlfriends who have that experience, and they’ll say ‘You know, I just really didn’t want to be without my child today.’
“And it’s just that simple. It’s about finding your normal, whatever that may be.â€
