Malika Haqq is officially a new mom!
On Monday (March 16), the 37-year-old reality star took to Instagram to announce that she gave birth to her first child Ace Flores on Saturday (March 14).
"♠️ Ace Flores 3.14.2020," Malika captioned a photo of her son's hand resting atop his parents' hands.
As fans know, Malika confirmed that her ex-boyfriend O.T. Genasis was the father of her child at her baby shower in February after choosing to keep his identity a secret for the majority of her pregnancy.
Proud dad O.T. also shared the happy news of his son's arrival on Instagram Monday, captioning a photo of the newborn swaddled in a hospital blanket: "♠️ Ace. I love you 03.14.20."
While Malika is a first-time mommy, Ace is the second child for the 32-year-old rapper, who also has a nine-year-old son Genasis.
The mom-to-be announced her pregnancy back in September. "I listen to my heart, and I’ve decided that the rest of my life will be the best of my life. I’m pregnant!" she captioned an Instagram photo of her holding her positive pregnancy test. "I didn't know when, I just knew one day. God said it’s my turn, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the little spirit that grows inside of me. I am yours, baby, and you are mine."
Ahead of her due date, Malika spoke of her plans to co-parent with O.T., who she split from in 2019 after two years together. "Relationships don’t always work out the way we would hope but between love & friendship we have created a baby boy that will be here very soon. I’ve been single the last 8months but I am in no way alone," she wrote on Instagram. "OT and I have attended every doctors apt and over all loved on our son together while anticipating his arrival. My priority over the past few months has been to nurture and protect my unborn child. Our baby would not be who he is without his father and I thank God for the spirit that grows inside of me. Only thing that matters, we are Baby Flores parents."
