This is Keyshia's second child.

Congratulations are in order for R&B singer Keyshia Cole who announced on Instagram that she's pregnant. The 37-year-old has been happily in love with her 23-year-old boyfriend Niko Khale, and early Friday morning Cole shared a photo on Instagram showing off her baby bump. She nonchalantly talked about what she's been up to in the captions without ever mentioning that she's standing there in the photo looking like she's ready to pop. 

"Went to Catalina island Last weekend. Had such a good time!!!!," Cole said. "Surrounded by Loooooooooove❤️ Just enjoying good times and GREAT VIBES 🤰🏽 I have a few shows coming up next weekend, DETROIT, MIAMI, 🥰 #MOTHERSDay is coming 🤔 I’m ready for ALL THE Love and GREAT ENERGY 🥰" Her famous friends and thousands of fans offered their celebratory responses in her comments, but Tiny Harris said that she felt that something was up. "I fukn knew it!! Congratulations sis! So happy for u," she wrote. 

Cole has reportedly been dating the independent rapper and songwriter since 2018 and last year rumors surfaced that the couple was expecting last summer. However, Cole shut that down quickly, but this time it looks like the news eventually ended up being true. This will be Cole's second child, as she shares a nine-year-old son, Daniel Gibson, Jr., with estranged husband and former NBA player Daniel Gibson. The former couple's divorce has yet to be finalized.
