Da Brat has revealed she’s pregnant and expecting her first child with wife Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart.
The Chicago rapper went public with her pregnancy in a series of photos posted to social media on Tuesday (February 21).
“BLESSINGS all 2023,” she captioned the pictures showcasing her baby bump in Chicago Bulls gear.
Plenty of Da Brat’s Hip Hop peers flooded her comments section, with the likes of Missy Elliott, Bun B, Trina, D-Nice and Muni Long sending their love and congratulations.
“Awwww this so Amazing,” Missy wrote, while Bun added: “Aww shit it’s all the way up! Congrats y’all!!”
Da Brat and Harris-Dupart, who is a mother of three from a previous relationship, opened up about their pregnancy journey in an interview with PEOPLE.
“I never thought I was going to have kids,” the So So Def representative said. “I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me. I’ve had a great career, a full life. I felt like, because I didn’t get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn’t going to happen for me.”
The 48-year-old experienced health complications throughout her pregnancy, which involved a heartbreaking miscarriage and surgery to remove fibroids and polyps before her embryo transfer procedure.
“Everything makes me cry,” she continued. “If someone wins American Idol, I cry. I’m like, I’m tougher than that! It’s just a blessing. I’m excited! I don’t have any cravings or nausea, but I’m always sleepy. It’s crazy!”
Fans will get an even deeper look into Da Brat’s pregnancy journey in season three of Brat Loves Judy, which premieres on April 27 at 9 p.m. ET on WE TV.
Da Brat came out as gay in March 2020 before tying the knot with Harris-Dupart in February 2022.
In a 2021 interview with HipHopDX, Da Brat explained how she never would’ve found the courage to get so vulnerable without Harris-Dupart’s encouragement.
“She and I were up in her mom’s room, at her mom’s house, and we’re up in the room playing around,” she explained. “We had been dating for some time and she made me feel like it’s OK. It’s a safe place to love out loud, or to let people see you happy and there’s no reason to hide anything. And she was saying, ‘I’m going to post it.’
“And I was saying, ‘No, I’m going to post it.’ We were joking around — and then she posted it. I was like, ‘Oh my God, you just posted it. I guess we just came out, bitch. Oh my God!’”

Wishing them both all the best. Everyone in this life deserves to be happy!!! Peace, love and blessings for a continued safe and healthy pregnancy.
So selfish… By the time her kid is 20 she’ll be 68 with one foot in the grave. Nice prospect for that kid! I know grandmothers that are younger than her. And all u chumps cheering……
I agree. Any common sense should have told her a– not to be chasing kids at 48 smh. She won’t have the energy to keep up with a 5, 10, 15 or even 20-year old and thus won’t be able to all the things parents should do with their kids. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
I feel like your comment is ignorant as fuck!
She has this last chance to experience something beautiful and you want to turn it into something negative! Smh, WOW! I’ve seen older people with children do better with kids than the younger.
Your comment is hateful!
Not everyone follows the same family dynamic. If she still has money from her career, she can likely afford the help. The bigger concern here is the health of the baby, as typically women over 40 that get pregnant often have kids with disabilities.
Exactly! There’s a lot of miserable people in the world, filled with darkness, hate & negativity. But you know what, we need their unhappy a$$es. So, we can continue to know how to be a light to their darkness, a lover to their hatred and a positive to their negative.
It’s a daughter, no matter the gender 😂
Who is the daddy ? Or did she marry a trans ?
