Kelly Rowland Gives Birth to Baby Boy, Titan Jewell

Kelly Rowland

Former Destiny’s Child star Kelly Rowland gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Tuesday. The 33-year-old “Motivation” singer and husband Tim Witherspoon welcomed Titan Jewell Witherspoon into the world at 1:30 p.m. The baby was healthy and weighed 7.5 lbs.

“We are thrilled to announce that today we are the proud parents of our first son, Titan Jewell Weatherspoon,” Rowland told Us. “Titan was born at 1:30 pm [PT] and weighed 7.5 lbs. We are blessed to report everyone is healthy and happy!”

The sex of the child comes as no surprise after Rowland accidentally let it slip that she was having a boy in an interview with FOX 411 on July 30.

“So far, everything has been good,” she said during the TV interview. “I just feel like the baby is already [spoiled] rotten- like literally my Caress family has gotten him all of his little bathing stuff, his toys. It’s just so cool.”

Realizing her mistake, she then quickly called her husband.

Though releasing the sex of the baby was unplanned, Rowland was all too happy to share the news that she was pregnant. She announced that she was officially expecting in June after wedding Witherspoon in May in Costa Rica.  She revealed her big baby news via Instagram, posting a picture of baby Jordans with the caption, “I’ll be stuntin like my daddy.”

Throughout her pregnancy, Rowland was not shy about showing and embracing her new body. She did a nude maternity shoot with Elle to showcase her new curves.

“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,” Rowland said. “Why wouldn’t you want to celebrate that?” she told the magazine.

The four time Grammy Award winning artist revealed that she tried to remain as healthy and fit as possible throughout her pregnancy.

“It’s fine to have your cravings but I wanted an easier delivery,” she said in the same interview. “All the women that I’ve talked to, that have worked out, have such an easy and speedy delivery. Exercise really helps that.”

That exercise must have really paid off as Rowland and Witherspoon seem happier than ever with their new, healthy bundle of joy.

“It’s Godmazing watching your body carry a human,” Rowland said. “The body should be celebrated.”

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
