Jordin Sparks welcomed her son, DJ, in May 2018. Now, the singer tells her fans how she went from being in a committed relationship to becoming a wife and mom within a year’s time.

“It’s been a year since my life completely changed,” Jordin shares. “When I first found out I was pregnant, I was actually in complete shock,” Sparks admits. “Dana and I had been talking about how we were going to get married, and we were going to wait for about two years [before trying for kids]. We got married, that’s for sure, but the baby came way sooner than we thought he was going to come.”

Although she was excited about the unexpected family expansion, Jordin was also pretty nervous about becoming a mom. “I’m not going to lie. I was scared,” the singer admits. “I was like, ‘I don’t know if I’m ready for this. Truly, I don’t think you’re ever really ready for a kid. As much as you prepare for it, or as much as you read the books and you do your research, there’s just nothing that can prepare you for the emotions and everything that comes with it.”

Morning sickness was certainly not something that came with Jordin Sparks’ pregnancy. “I was not sick,” the celebrity mom reveals. “I didn’t get any morning sickness. I kept waiting for it to come, actually, throughout my entire pregnancy and I never got it.”
