Michael Blackson is going to be a dad again!
The comedian, 52, is expecting his first child with fiancée Radar Darling, whose real name is Rada Cheang.
On Friday, Rada shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo of the couple standing in front of a mirror. In the picture, Blackson stands behind her, cradling her baby bump with a loving smile.
“My stomach kept growing, I thought it was weight gain…..No, I’ve confirmed 7 times that it’s not a food baby that I’m carrying,” she playfully captioned the post. “We both are ecstatic…. we can’t wait to meet our little miracle.”
The happy couple, who got engaged in July 2021, has taken their relationship one day at a time.
“The secret is just having fun, smiling, laughing, enjoying each other when we have those moments together,” the Couples Retreat alum told E! News at the BET Awards in 2024. “And not thinking about anything else.”
That easygoing mindset has also applied to their wedding planning. Though they have been engaged for over two years, Blackson—who is already a father to sons Michael Jr., 26, and twins Niko and Noah, 17, from previous relationships—has expressed that they are in no rush to walk down the aisle.
“I just felt like I needed to get things in place before I make this big step,” he explained in an August 2023 interview with VLAD TV. “Sometimes you need more time. You want to be really, really set with everything before you make that step.”
Still, the couple remains committed to building their future together.
“You know how many divorces we see?” Blackson added, hinting at his cautious approach.
With their first child on the way, it looks like 2025 is shaping up to be a big year for the couple. Congratulations to Michael and Rada on their growing family!
