Iggy Azalea has welcomed her first child, she announced via Instagram story on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old rapper revealed on Instagram that she recently welcomed her first child — a baby boy.
“I have a son,” the Australian rapper, 30, wrote. “I kept waiting for the right time to say something but it feels like the more time passes the more I realize I’m always going to feel anxious to share news that giant with the world.”
Azalea, whose real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly, didn’t share any photos of the baby nor did she announce the child’s name.
“I want to keep his life private and wanted to make it clear he is not a secret & I love him beyond words,” she said.
Several sources speculated that Azalea was pregnant in December 2019 and gave birth to a child in April 2020.
After the rumors surfaced, Azalea denied the pregnancy in a since-deleted tweet and wrote, “It would be so great if you stopped paying any mind to random tea pages.”
She also posted an Instagram photo of herself lounging in a red bikini in December 2019, shortly after outlets reported the initial pregnancy speculations. She captioned the photo, “WISH U WERE HERE.”
Following the full-body photo, the “Fancy” rapper stopped posting photos to Instagram until May 9.
Iggy Azalea (real name: Amethyst Kelly) and Carti (real name: Jordan Carter) met in 2018 while she was touring overseas and started dating shortly after.
Three months after they confirmed their romance, the musicians decided to move in together, with Carti, 23, confirming the big step in their relationship in a summer 2019 cover interview with Fader.
“Once I started talking to her, I just cut off everybody. It was over with,” he shared with the outlet, explaining how he and Azalea had moved to Atlanta from Los Angeles together. “I support everything she does.”
Things seemed to heat up in July for the couple when the “Fancy” rapper stepped out flaunting a massive diamond ring on her left hand. Fans instantly started speculating that the pair were engaged, though the pair have yet to address it themselves.
