In October 2004, at the age of 18, Solange and now ex-husband Daniel Smith. welcomed their only child together, Daniel Julez J. Smith.
“I’m sure a lot of people perceived that I was gonna be a young, irresponsible mom. I think that there are some moms who are 35 who are just as irresponsible,” the singer said in an interview back in 2008.
She continued, “My son has been my focus ever since the day he was born. He’s been the light of my life, the inspiration behind everything.”
Happy Birthday, Julez!
