48-year-old rapper Da Brat is pregnant with her first child with her wife, Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart. Da Brat and Harris-Dupart were married in February 2022.
Da Brat and Harris-Dupart confirmed the news Tuesday on Instagram alongside a video of Da Brat unveiling her baby bump and the caption: “BLESSINGS all 2023. Thanks so much to @hopefertility for helping us on our journey.” Da Brat also posted photos that show her and Harris-Dupart with her baby belly.
Da Brat told People in an interview: “It’s been quite a journey .. there’s a lot of stuff we learned about women over the age of 40.” The rapper said she didn’t plan to have kids until meeting and falling in love with Harris-Dupart, who has three kids from a previous relationship. Said Da Brat: “I never thought I was going to have kids. I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me. I’ve had a great career, a full life. I felt like, because I didn’t get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn’t going to happen for me … I started looking at life so differently. I was like, I want a little me with you. Something special from the both of us that we can share and raise and love unconditionally.”
