Singer-songwriter KEM has built a long and celebrated career in R&B, but his latest headline has nothing to do with music.
The Love Always Wins singer is preparing to welcome his eighth child with his wife, Erica Owens, who shared the news exclusively with People.
The baby on the way will be his fifth with Erica. KEM also has two daughters from a previous relationship, while Erica has one daughter from before the marriage
KEM didn’t hold back about what fatherhood means to him, telling People Magazine, “Being a husband and a father continues to be the greatest blessing of my life.”
Erica also added to the conversation stating what motherhood means to her. “Motherhood has been such a meaningful journey for me, and I’m grateful.”
If you follow his career, this isn’t surprising. His music has always leaned into love, faith, and personal growth. Fans often say that KEM’s songs feel like they’re written from the heart, and apparently, the same spirit shows up in how he looks at family.
The couple tied the knot in 2019, and you get the sense that this next chapter feels really intentional to both of them.
KEM told the outlet, “Erica and I are looking forward to welcoming another little miracle into our growing family.”
Erica added her own excitement, saying, “My husband and I are excited for this next chapter. Our family is already full of love for this little blessing.”
The couple hasn’t revealed a due date or the baby’s gender just yet. But knowing KEM, fans wouldn’t be surprised if this new arrival inspires a song or two. Until then, the wait is officially on to meet the newest member of the family.
