Congratulations are in order for Kierra Sheard-Kelly and her husband. The pair are expecting their first bundle of joy!
In an exclusive interview with People Magazine, the gospel singer told the popular entertainment outlet that she and husband, 32-year-old Jordan Kelly, are “excited and blessed”.
“I am so excited and blessed to have this opportunity to carry, my prayer, and watch our baby grow,” the singer told People. “I’m most excited about raising a game changer, loving someone so deep, and having that same impact my mother had on me. I think I’ll be raising one of my best friends!”
The expectant mother shared the news, revealing that she had previously experienced two miscarriages that, “took [her] near death’s doors.”
She wants everyone to know that, “God is in charge” not matter the circumstances.
“God still showed me that He’s in charge, and to keep believing. I’ve been fearful and have worried, but God has sent me constant reminders and ways of affirmation. My husband’s faith and declarations have stood in place of my lack many times.”
She continued saying that her husband, “…encouraged me to know that I’m still loved, had we had this moment or not. Getting on one accord helps create our love child, and is growing us closer,” she said. “I’ve downloaded faith-based books, prayed every morning over my womb and baby, and surrounded myself with a very supportive and prayerful community. As a result, we are here seeing our prayers answered. I’ve felt the presence of God in my womb and it’s been one of the most promising moments I’ve had in my life.”
Sheard-Kelly and her husband first meet in church as children. Fast-forward, and the pair tied the knot in December 2020.
In addition to a new baby on the way, Sheard-Kelly has a new book on the market, “The Vibes You Feel,” in addition to a new album, “All Yours”.
Congratulations to both Kierra and Jordan. We cannot wait to see pics of the new baby!
