Welteroth’s caption for her announcement read, “New creative collab with @jonathansingletary dropping spring 2022 #JesusTookTheWheel. Lullaby by my baby daddy-to-be.”
In the video, Welteroth said, “Real life evidence of life,” as she displayed the positive pregnancy test and sonograms. “I’m freaking out right now. This baby looks exactly like Jonathan,” she added.
The mom-to-be also shared her announcement with People Magazine.
“I’m so excited to finally share the excitement with our friends and extended community. It’s been so hard to keep this a secret!” she said. “I’m just excited to learn more about what this new life is here to teach us. I’m already learning so much from this experience. We are both excited to experience new levels of love.”
She added, “We always knew—God willing—that one day we would be parents, but no one talks about what it’s like when that one day becomes today. Even with a husband, a house and a career, somehow, I still didn’t feel quite ready or adult enough to be somebody’s mom. But there’s nothing that compares to the blessing of the moment you hear that little heartbeat—it changes everything. You just surrender to God’s plan and divine timing.”
According to Essence, Welteroth and Singletary have known each other since they were teenagers, having met at their local church in Northern California. The pair later rekindled in 2013 when Singletary visited New York City, where she’d been living, to interview for jobs, and three years later- they were a couple.
Welteroth and Singletary got married on May 10, 2020, after being engaged for over three years.
