Brooke Valentine and Marcus Black have a double blessing on the way.
The couple surprised fans on Thursday by revealing that they are expecting twins. Brooke shared the news in a joint Instagram post, writing, “It’s TWO in there family,” before teasing that she plans to document her pregnancy journey on The Volo Network.
“Because this is a shared post I’mma keep it short but meet me on my page for my diary entries,” she wrote. “Can’t wait to share this journey with yall on @thevolonetwork … link in bio.”
Alongside the announcement, Brooke shared photos of the couple holding an ultrasound featuring Baby A and Baby B while each carried a teddy bear. She also gave credit to Chi Summer for taking the pictures.
“PS. My mini took the pics @ChiSummerBlvck,” she wrote.
The babies on the way will join the couple’s daughter, Chi Summer, who was born in 2019. Brooke is also mom to her son, London, while Marcus has a daughter, Brooklyn, from a previous relationship.
Valentine has previously spoken candidly about the challenges she faced during her pregnancies.
“My pregnancies with London versus Chi, they were both high-risk for different reasons,” she said during a 2021 Mommy & Me segment. “With London, I had something called placenta previa, where the placenta is covering the exit, which is scary. So I had that with him. Then, with Chi, it was simply high-risk because of high blood pressure and my age.”
She said both pregnancies required her to step away from work and focus on her health.
“It was a lot,” she recalled. “It was stressful. My son is special needs [because] he had a stroke at birth. So London’s journey started right away. The journey of him being rehabilitated from this stroke started immediately. With Chi Summer, it was a bit different because she was totally fine. [She] just went on [while] I was in the hospital. She was waiting for me to get out.”
Brooke has also been open about pregnancy loss. During a 2024 episode of Love & Hip Hop, she revealed that she miscarried at approximately 12 weeks after a routine ultrasound showed there was no heartbeat.
Congratulations to Brooke, Marcus, and their growing family!
