Coi Leray and Trippie Redd have announced that they are expecting their first child together, months after rekindling their relationship.
Coi made the announcement on Wednesday (January 1) by posting a number of photos of herself on Instagram, including one with a prominent baby bump and another with Trippie where he is hugging her pregnant belly.
The “Players” hitmaker captioned the post: “I’m a rock star mommy, we ready for 2025.”
The 27-year-old also posted a more in-depth update on her Instagram Stories, which included a close-up of her stomach along with the caption: “I’m over 4 months. I’m just small as hell of course.”

Coi Leray and Trippie Redd only announced that they had gotten back together in August.
The two rappers publicly shared a hug and a passionate kiss onstage during a concert, much to the delight of the crowd.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, Coi wrote: “Thank you for turning up with me on my last show day in Ohio @trippieredd the world loves you and so do I.”
Redd later revealed how he won Leray back, saying to TMZ: “You know [I reached out and said I missed her]. [We were on the low for] a little while — we just been talking. That’s my boo.”
Trippie and Coi dated for a short period in 2019 before going through a very public breakup, which inspired the former to pour out his heartbreak on the song “Leray.”
“It was love at first sight and misery after two months / Always feeling fucked up either by love or no love,” the Ohio native sang on the somber, acoustic ballad.
He added: “You were only fuckin’ with my feelings because you didn’t know your own / I do miss who I thought you were / And sometimes I’m miserable without you / So it’s just like you’re still here, shit.”
Coi shared her side of the story in a 2020 interview with No Jumper, describing her and Trippie as soulmates but admitting the timing of their relationship just wasn’t right.
“I met Trippie when he was like 19 and I was 21. We were just both young,” she said. “I’m an up-and-coming female artist, I had a lot going on, I had a big team. And he had a lot going on at the time, too.
