Singer and actress Teyana Taylor gave friends and fans an inside look into her life by sharing two new videos of her gorgeous daughter Rue Rose.
The singer took to Instagram on Sept. 7 to confirm the reports she gave birth over the weekend. She captioned the post, “We love you Rue, welcome baby girl @babyruerose 😢😍🌹❤️.”
The announcement originally was shared in a post by her husband, NBA star Iman Shumpert, who gleefully dished the details on when Taylor gave birth.
“At 3:28 am on Sept 6th 2020 Rue Rose 🌹 decided that the baby shower thrown for her and mommy was too lit. She didn’t make the party but she managed to make the next day her birthdate!!!” The New York Knicks shooting guard also confirmed the singer gave birth in their bathroom as he gushed over his little girl: “Our newest edition entered the world in the water and came out looking around and ready to explore! A healthy child. A little sister. Another daughter. Black love wins….again. Welcome babygirl…we love you! 🌹 @babyruerose“
Many celebrities, including actress Taraji P. Henson, congratulated the couple on their new bundle of joy. Henson wrote, “CONGRATS MOMMA!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💋💋💋.”
Singer Christian Milian said, “Wow! That’s amazing! Fate has its way. Congratulations, she’s beautiful!” “
“Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Rasheeda Frost commented, “Omgggggggg so beautiful congrats! I can’t believe she came the next day #blessings 🙏🏽.”

A fifth fan even crowned Taylor as “MVP,” writing, “you are the real mvp…she’s perfect …congratulations to you and @imanshumpert on another beautiful princess.”
Singer Erykah Badu, who was Taylor’s doula, took to Instagram to praise the lovely couple.
Badu wrote, “Welcome @babyruerose@teyanataylor@imanshumpert They did that. ❤️😍🙏🏽 Thank you both for allowing me to assist. Love, proud Badoula- aka “The welcoming Committee.”
Taylor confirmed back in July during an interview with Nick Cannon on “Nick Cannon Mornings Power 106″ that Badu would assist in helping her deliver her second child. Taylor’s first daughter Junie was delivered by her husband Shumpert in their bathroom back in 2015 when the singer went into labor a month early. After that experience Taylor would say, “I don’t know if I want to go to the hospital for this next baby. I’ll make sure it’s not on the toilet or the bathroom floor.”
In June, Taylor announced in a music video for her song “Wake Up Love” that she and Shumpert were expecting their second child. The couple — who wed back in 2016 — have now presented a little sister to their 4-year-old daughter Junie.
