Hunxho is officially a dad of three! The rapper brought in the new year with his newborn child snuggled in his arms and against his chest. Fans are simultaneously gushing over the sweet daddy duties moments and asking questions about his co-parent and the status of his on-and-off romance with Keyshia Cole.
It’s a “new year, new me” vibe for Hunxho as he learns to navigate fatherhood with three kiddos. It’s the second life update fans have gotten in a week, after he previously debuted a new low-cut hairstyle. The photos Hunxho shared on his Instagram Story on Jan. 1 do not show his newborn daughter’s face. Instead, one picture shows the bottom view of the rapper holding the bundled baby in the crook of his arm. The post featured a “Happy New Year” graphic. A second photo shows the dad shirtless, smiling and chucking up the deuces. Meanwhile, his baby girl lay on his chest, wrapped in a blanket adorned with pink bows. While we can’t see her face, lil’ mama definitely flexed her head full of dark hair!
September was the first time Hunxho revealed his third child was baking in the baby oven. At the time, he was speaking on the ‘Pour Minds’ podcast, confirming he had two kids and “one on the way.” While he didn’t reveal the identity of his then-unborn child’s mother, he shared that her birthday was in October. That clue had necks snapping in Keyshia Cole’s direction, who celebrates hers on October 15. But as the weeks went by with no baby bump debut, fans quickly dropped that theory.
As mentioned, Hunxho already had two kids by different womena son named Xhosen and a daughter named Xoe.It appears that Kiya, the mom of Hunxho’s daughter and his co-parent since 2023, may also be the mother of his newborn baby.
However, her birth date doesn’t seem to align with what Hunxho previously said. Photos on Kiya’s Instagram feed from July 1 show her celebrating 23rd birthday in Tulum, Mexico. That post was also the first time last year that Kiya debuted her baby bump. She posted a partial look at her bump the following month, too. Then, in November, she posted her maternity shoot pictures featuring her and Hunxho’s daughter. In the caption, she wrote, “To my little loves, You both are my source of strength, even on my toughest days.
On the same day Hunxho posted his newborn photos, Kiya also shared a photo of baby feet on her Instagram Story. The baby appeared to be wrapped in the classic hospital blanketthe same one that the newborn Hunxho posted was wrapped in. So far, Kiya has not confirmed or denied whether Hunxho is her newborn’s father.
As the internet continues to speculate about Hunxho’s co-parenting life, questions are also being raised about his public relationship with Keyshia Cole. According to her Instagram feed, in the last week, the singer has been locked in with her two sons and loved ones. She’s definitely not giving baby bump, postpartum recovery or hospital stay.
On Christmas Day, she shared a recap of a family and friends snow day. In the caption, she opened up about losing everything in a fire last year and her intentional focus on memories this holiday season. Another video from the same day shows her and loved ones filming a hilarious video.
Around this time last year we lost everything!!! So this year I really focused on memories more than things, everything can be gone in the blink of an eye, but true love, family! FRIENDs! This is forever! TIME spent TOGETHER is whats valuable! Love u.”
It’s unclear whether Keyshia Cole and Hunxho included each other in their holiday plans. More than a month before Christmas, she and Hunxho sparked rumors that they had rekindled their romance. During a performance in Atlanta, he brought Cole on stage to sing her classics and they didn’t hold back on the PDA. From a kiss on the lips to a lil’ stage support, the vibes were on and poppin’ and so were the comment sections!
Now, with a newborn in the mix, it’s unclear where Keyshia stands. She has not publicly commented on Hunxho’s newest mini-me. Meanwhile, fans are already applauding what they say will be a fire heartbreak album, chile!
