Kendrick Lamar and his fiancé, Whitney Alford, have reportedly welcomed their first child on Friday, July 26.
Lamar, 32, and Alford, 33, have been together for quite some time, as they met and began dating while attending Centennial High School in Compton, California. The rapper is notorious for keeping quiet about his personal life, however he opened up about his relationship with Alford back in 2015 in an interview with Billboard, where he confirmed that the two were engaged. At that point, they had been dating for a decade.
“At the end of the day, you want to always, always have real people around you, period. Whether it’s male or female, and everybody that’s been around me, they’ve been around since day one,” Lamar said. “I always show respect when respect has been given, and people that have been by your side, you’re supposed to honor that.”
He continued, “I wouldn’t even call her my girl,” Lamar said. “That’s my best friend. I don’t even like the term that society has put in the world as far as being a companion — she’s somebody I can tell my fears to.”
The two did not previously announce that Alford was pregnant, however they now have a new baby girl, as confirmed by US Weekly.
Fans all over have since been congratulating the pair.
“Congrats to Kendrick and his fiancée on their first child, a baby girl,” one fan wrote, while another stated “Kendrick, our fave, is really a father now.”
Lamar and Alford have yet to publicly speak about their newborn.
