Shakira Hardy just gave fans a glimpse of her newest chapter in life, revealing the arrival of her and Lil Scrappy’s baby boy. The hairstylist and former Pick A Side contestant took to Instagram to share adorable photos of her newborn while reflecting on the milestone moment.
“For the last 7 days I’ve been completely distracted by this lil man 💙🥹,” Hardy captioned her heartfelt post. “Saturday 11/23/24 @ 7:39am I gave birth to a baby boy 7lbs 2.5oz. Labor was long but with the support of my child’s dad @reallilscrappy and my daughter, I was able to push him out in under 6 mins 🥳🙏🏾💙 Officially a #boymom 🥳😝💙.” The post has been met with an outpouring of support from fans, celebrating the couple’s growing family.
Lil Scrappy first hinted at the baby’s arrival last month by sharing clips from a baby shower, catching many of his fans off guard. Hardy’s post officially confirmed the news, showing the baby’s arrival late last month. While Hardy has been vocal about her joy, Scrappy has yet to address his son’s birth publicly.
The timing of the baby’s arrival also brought back attention to Scrappy’s ex-wife Bambi, who indirectly addressed the situation earlier this year. Around the time Hardy’s pregnancy became public, Bambi announced her children’s book, A New Baby For Us, which aims to help families explain the arrival of a new sibling. While the release initially seemed to signal a cordial relationship between the exes, Scrappy made it clear that wasn’t the case. “I just do not like her,” he bluntly stated during an Instagram Live session. “Hate is a strong word, strong word. I just don’t even have the energy for that sh*t anymore.”
For now, all eyes are on Shakira Hardy as she embraces life as a “#boymom” and enjoys this precious time with her newborn. Fans continue to flood her social media with love and congratulations, while waiting to see if Lil Scrappy will publicly share his thoughts on the baby boy’s arrival.
