Shaquil Barrett and his wife, Jordanna, are expecting a baby girl just two months after the tragic loss of their 2-year-old daughter Arrayah. Jordanna shared the news on Instagram, along with a heartfelt message dedicated to Arrayah. The post featured a photo of a positive pregnancy test with the words “Allanah Ray February 2024.”
“A few weeks after our sweet girls heaven day, Shaquil and I found out we were expecting,” she began.
“I just know Arrayah had a special hand in picking this sweet girl to add to our family!” she added.
Jordanna, filled with hope and gratitude, mentioned that Arrayah would become the “best big sister angel” to little Allanah.
“We are so beyond blessed, so beyond grateful that God chose to give us another little girl! We miss our Arrayah every second of every day, but I rest in knowing she’s going to be the best big sister angel to little miss Allanah! #TGBTG “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the lord. Not to harm you, nor prosper you, but to give you HOPE and a future” Arrayah has given me hope. She has changed so many lives with the short 2 years she blessed this earth, and God works in such mysterious ways, but I will never ever doubt his plans for my life.,” she continued.
“Through the worst of the worst, he turns and uses ALL things for good. I will trust when it’s the hardest, and praise him through all things good. His plans are far more better than my own and always always will be. I serve a God who cares, a God who gives, a God who takes away, a God who comforts, and a God who unwavering loves us when we do not deserve it. Thank you Jesus!”
The Barretts are also parents to sons Braylon, 10, and Shaquil Jr., 11, as well as daughter Aaliyah, 8.
