Jennifer Hudson Gives Birth to A Son

Via Roger Friedman of the Hollywood Reporter:

It’s official! Oscar winner and ‘American Idol’  star Jennifer Hudson gave birth to a baby boy late yesterday. His name is David Daniel Otunga, Jr., named for his father and Hudson’s fiancee. Hudson tells me he weighed in at seven pounds, fourteen ounces. And Jennifer and David, Sr., by the way, did not know the sex of the baby in advance. They bought blue and pink clothes, just in case!

Hudson’s pregnancy has been an unusual one for a star. For one thing, she never announced it. She simply turned up ‘showing’  at a concert last winter and let the fans speculate for themselves.

Part of this was privacy, some of it was superstition, but most of it had to do with the terrible tragedy she and her family underwent last October. The murders of her mother, brother, and nephew were beyond comprehension. But Jennifer, who is basically a positive person, turned lemons into lemonade. She and fiancee Otunga conceived a child soon after the episode.

Congratulations Jennifer!

    Can’t wait to hear the little guy sing. I’m thinkin he’ll sound like young DA meets Shaheen Jafargholi from BGT.

    Yes, I think Jenifer needed a child after the tragedy of loosing almost her entire immediate family. That was a devasting blow, and to only have that sister of hers left, I would have had a baby too, if she was the end of my familial line!!!

    Congrats to Jenny and David on their new baby boy.

    @druzilla:what does having a wedding before birth have to do with anything?

    A child has a way of helping heal things, how lovely. Jennifer’s a great performer who went through an unimaginable tragedy–her performances since have been so dignified, but touched with sadness. Great for she and her fiancee to share this joy.
