‘Royalty’: Fans Swoon Over Keyshia Cole’s Stunning Throwback Maternity Photo From Before New Son’s Birth

It looks like Keyshia Cole took a stroll down memory lane just days after giving birth to her baby boy.

The new mother left social media head over heels this past weekend with a beautiful portrait of her maternity photo shoot showing her pregnant at the time with her now-newborn son. The image uploaded to Cole’s Instagram page Sunday afternoon, showed the “Love” singer draped in royal-like getup and surrounded by regal props.

She was photographed sitting in a throne-like chair with royal-themed props set in place all around her. The four-time Grammy Award-nominated artist donned a brown, off-the-shoulder ruffle top with a gold lace train covering part of her body. She also accessorized her queenly look with a gold Grecian headpiece.
