Last month, MTO News reported that Teyana Taylor was pregnant after we captured video of her daughter Junie asking to ‘kiss the baby’ while reaching for Teyana’s belly on Instagram Live. (watch here)
Well yesterday, Teyana confirmed the rumors in her new music video.
Teyana Taylor just dropped the visuals for her new single, ‘Wake Up Love’ featuring her husband, Iman Shumphert and in the video, the couple shows off Teyana’s growing baby bump at the end of the video.
“We’re ready, and we’re very excited. Iman is super excited,” Taylor told People. “Junie is ecstatic — I’m talking super ecstatic. Everybody is just excited. I can’t wait. I’ve got three more months left until we meet our little princess.”
Shumpert rapped a verse in the video, which showed the soon-to-be family of four lying in bed together surrounded by clouds.
In an Instagram post announcing the new video, Taylor wrote a note to Shumpert honoring him and the Black Lives Matter movement.
“Though you are the love of my life, my king, my husband & an amazing father. YOU ARE STILL A BLACK MAN FIRST, before anything. And that’s the risk I take as you leave my side and walk out the door every single day. I could have lost you yesterday. I could lose you today. I could lose you tomorrow,” she wrote.
“The sadness of our planet has corrupted mankind’s ability to make empowering decisions. Darkened, but not by the sun; WE still stand up in assembly and cry for help. For these are the reasons I have broken down my defenses; I hear you, I see you, I love you.”
Teyana is a singer-songwriter/actress, dancer, choreographer, director, and model. As an aspiring songwriter, Taylor has worked with and written records for artists such as Usher, Chris Brown, and Omarion.
Taylor has appeared on runways during Fashion Week and has also landed high-profile features, such as on Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. She stars in the VH1 reality television show Teyana and Iman, alongside her husband, NBA player Iman Shumpert.
