Amber Rose Shares First Pictures of Baby Sebastian

Posted byBy Julia Cox | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Amber Rose has shared the first photo of her new baby, Sebastian.  The photo, posted on Instagram, is a snapshot of dad Wiz Khalifa holding the baby, whose face is barely visible from a blanket. “Best daddy ever,” said Rose, 29, in the caption. “Up with the baby so Muva can go back to sleep,” she added.

Rose and Khalifa, 25, welcomed their first child yesterday, whose full name is Sebastian Taylor Thomaz (which, as a child of the 1990s, immediately takes me to Jonathan Taylor Thomas of Home Improvement).

“It’s funny because I came up with the name for our boy and immediately he [Khalifa] came up with a rapper [nickname] for him,” said Rose.

Both parents wasted no time in tweeting about the happy event. “Happy Birthday Sebastian ‘The Bash’ Taylor Thomaz!!! Everyone welcome this perfect young man into the world,” said Wiz.   Amber was equally effusive. “Happy Birthday to our baby boy Sebastian ‘The Bash’ Taylor Thomaz! I’m so happy u guys I fell in love all over again!” the model gushed.

The duo previously made headlines for announcing the baby would be born in an at-home, no-drugs waterbirth. “No meds, no hospital, just the privacy of my own home. I’m so excited for this experience!” said Rose. No word on whether the “excitement” still holds.

She also announced “We take home birthing classes to teach us how to do it, and we’re gonna have our midwife, and when they baby’s head comes out, he’s gonna be Dr. Wiz. He’s gonna be the first person to touch the child. No doctors, no gloves.”

Indeed, it looks like Khalifa was Dr. Wiz. Before “The Bash” made his big debut on Thursday, Wiz posted a photo to Instagram of himself wearing scrubs and a medical mask.

Khalifa and Rose have been engaged since March of last year, but have yet to announce a wedding date.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
