Da Brat is pregnant! The rapper and wife Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart are expecting their first child together.
“It’s been quite a journey,” Da Brat, tells People of getting pregnant at the age of 48.
“There’s a lot of stuff we learned about women over the age of 40,” she says.
Da Brat never thought she would have kids until she met the love of her life.
“I never thought I was going to have kids,” she says. “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.”
She continued, “I started looking at life so differently,” says the mom-to-be. “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.”
Jesseca Harris-Dupart already had three kids prior to their relationship so she convinced Da Brat to carry their child.
“I was like, nothing’s gonna come out of me!” Da Brat shared. “We had a little tug-o-war in the beginning…but I felt like she should have the experience,” says her wife. “She is so nurturing.”
The road to motherhood for the couple wasn’t without complications as Da Brat previously suffered a miscarriage after undergoing IVF.
“I had never been so excited about something that I didn’t even know I wanted,” says Da Brat. “I fell in love with the idea and then it was all snatched away from me.”
“Luckily,” she adds, “we still had quite a few of her eggs left. “It’s just a blessing. I’m excited!” She’s also exhausted. “I don’t have any cravings or nausea, but I’m always sleepy. It’s crazy!”
Da Brat is now 18 weeks pregnant and can’t wait to meet her bundle of joy.
