Chaney Jones Shares THIS Message With Pregnancy Reveal

Jones became a public sensation when she briefly dated Ye back in 2022. At the time, he was still known as Kanye West. They’ve both moved on since.

In her caption, she wished her mystery partner (seen in the reveal video) a Happy Valentine’s Day. The mommy-to-be also bragged about their love and excitement over becoming parents in the caption. It’s unclear whether Chaney already has any kids from any former relationships or if she’s a first-time mom.

“Our sweet baby, from the moment we knew you were coming, our hearts have been overflowing with love for you. Every kick, every tiny flutter is a reminder that our greatest blessing is growing inside me. Mommy and Daddy already love you more than words can say, and we cant wait to hold you in our arms, to watch you grow, and to give you a lifetime of love and happiness. We love you endlessly Ÿ– Happy Valentines Day baby thank you for giving me the best gift, our little bundle of joy,” Chaney Jones wrote in her Instagram caption.

Meanwhile, the video Jones shared on her profile shows her and her child’s father cheesin’ and posing with her exposed baby bump. In different scenes, she wore a black two-piece outfit and a white dress.
