As many people do when a baby starts growing, fans began talking about whom they think the baby looks like at her 2-month stage.

Most believed that Rue looks like her big sister and wrote comments like “She got Junie’s whole face” and “So you had the same baby twice.”

Someone else said, “Awwwwww she is soooo cute perfect blend of mommy and daddy.”

Another commenter joked about the fast growth of celebrity children. She said, “Damn celebrities children grow SO FAST my son has been one for 3 years now ….if u get it then u know what I mean.”

Additionally, it looks like the “Wake Up Love” singer isn’t the only one who enjoys her baby’s chunky stage.

A few fans commented about the baby’s appearance typing things like “her lil rolls of chunky yumminess” and “I love me a chunky baby she is gorgeous.”

Taylor and her husband, free agent NBA player Iman Shumpert, welcomed their baby girl into the world on Sunday, Sept. 6. The married couple celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary on Oct. 1. Next month they will be celebrating their oldest daughter Iman Tayla Shumpert birthday as she turns 5 years old.

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.
