Serayah McNeill and Joey Bada$$ recently celebrated the upcoming arrival of their baby boy with a baby shower.
The couple, who are expecting their first child together, enjoyed a blue-themed gathering with close family and friends earlier this month.
For the occasion, Serayah wore a soft baby blue dress that highlighted her growing bump, while Joey kept things timeless in an all-black outfit.
McNeill first shared her pregnancy publicly while walking the runway at the Adore Me show during New York Fashion Week.
“The stars just aligned. We didn’t coordinate or plan anything out,” she said to Essence in a recent interview. “An opportunity came to me to walk in the Adore Me fashion show and I disclosed to them that I was, I think at the time, around five or six months pregnant. When they said that they were fine with it, I was like, ‘Okay, well maybe this is the opportunity, and this will be the moment.’ And me and Jo-Vaughn, we just agreed on it and it honestly was the most beautiful way. I couldn’t imagine doing it any other way. I was really big on not making my reveal feel contrived or forced. So I felt like it was really just God aligning.”
Now, the couple is settling into life in New York as they prepare to welcome their son.
“We both turn 30 this year. I turned 30 in January, she turns 30 in June. So naturally, there’s a lot of transitional things happening in our lives, and it’s very, very symbolic at this point in time right now,” Joey Bada$$, whose real name is Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, told the outlet. “It’s just the beginning of a new chapter.”
The pair’s baby boy will be the first child for Serayah and second for Joey, who is already father to a seven-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
