Singer Jennifer Hudson and her eight-week-old baby are featured in an upcoming issue of People magazine(due out on October 15th). In the issue, Jennifer talks about first child David Jr – named after her fiancé, David Otunga – and so much more! Read excerpts from the interview now!
On how hard it was keeping her pregnancy under wraps:
“David and I were the only people who knew for a long time. I would forget I was pregnant, it was so easy. I didn’t have any morning sickness, no cravings either. I just thought, ‘Oh, well, we’ll wait until it’ll tell on itself.’ I didn’t show until I was seven months so that made it easy right there.”
On delivering her son by C-Section:

By that night after I had the baby, I’m like, ‘Look, I can’t sit in this bed anymore. I’ve got to get up!’ I’ve been up and about since he was born.

On David J.R’s personality:
“He has a lot of personality, like David. He’s always been a good sleeper. His favorite time to smile now is diaper changes. Or when he spits up on you – he just cracks up like he thinks it’s the funniest thing. And his bottle is his pacifier. With a pacifier, it’s like he knows, ‘Ain’t nothing come out of here.

On whether or not she would be supportive if David Jr should pursue a career in entertainment in the future:
“We’ll definitely encourage education. His father is an education fanatic so we definitely want him to get an education and go to school. My mom always said, ‘Whatever you want to do, I’ll support you as long as you’re happy.’ So I will do the BCK Says: BCK will have more pictures soon…in a week or so!
