Meet Diamond & Deven’s Newborn Son

As previously reported, Diamond popped out belly bumpin’ in July. The birth of her son, Royal Ramon Paulsen, marks the second time she’s experiencing newborn life, as she’s already a mother to a son from a previous relationship. It’s unclear if Royal is Deven’s first child or not. In her Instagram caption, the rapper called their son’s birth “love at first sight.”

“Thankful To Jesus For A Healthy Baby Boy & A Healthy Delivery. Thanks To ALL our FAMILY, FRIENDS, & FANS for all The Prayers & Support. Means The World. Thank You Jesus,” she wrote, adding emojis.

In the photos Diamond shared, she’s lying in bed holding Royal, while Deven and her stare at him in one and share a kiss on the lips in another. She did not share a photo of the baby’s face, but he was wrapped in a white blanket and wore a standard pink-and-blue hospital hat. In a video, Daddy Deven kisses all over Diamond’s bare belly. But we can’t say for sure whether she filmed the video before or after giving birth.

There’s also a photo of the pro athlete and his son doing some skin-to-skin bonding and another video of him lovingly rubbing his fiance’s hand. Swipe below for all the feels!

What To Know About The Engaged Couple

Diamond has been keeping her private updates minimal but BIG. We first met Deven through a couple of social media posts she made. A few weeks later, she dropped a video of him proposing after winning a mixed martial arts match. Then, in July, Diamond revealed her pregnancy. At this time, no other details are known about the couple’s plans to get married.
