The “Trust and Believe” singer celebrated her 38th birthday on Tuesday, Oct. 15, with a gorgeous photo that left fans stunned. She took to Instagram Wednesday morning and uploaded a picture of herself out and about, looking more beautiful than ever.

Cole sported a auburn haircut with finger waves and tapered sides. She opted for a subtle glam makeup look, including a muted eyeshadow and a bold red lip. She also went for a casual chic look, wearing a black moto jacket, a black V-neck shirt, red patchwork pants and slouch lace-up booties.

The R&B artist thanked her fans and loved ones for the birthday wishes and wrote in her caption, “Thank you for all the Birthday wishes. (Iโ€™ve seen them ALL๐Ÿ˜‰) Truly a blessing…. Love you all โค๏ธ”

According to Cole’s Instagram story, she and boyfriend Niko “Khale” Hale went out for a night of karaoke with their loved ones to celebrate her birthday.

Baby Tobias apparently takes his fatherโ€™s nickname, Khale, as a middle name and has an official IG page which appears to be private.

Cole and Hale, 23, welcomed their first child together on Thursday, August 1. The second-time mother also shares 10-year-old son Daniel Gibson Jr. with estranged husband and former Cleveland Cavaliers player Daniel Gibson. Tobias appears to be Hale’s first child.

Fans will be getting a chance to view Cole’s motherhood journey on her new BET reality series titled “My New Life.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual โ€” 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.
