Congrats to rapper Wale and his girlfriend Claudia Alexis Jourdan!
The two welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Zyla Moon Oluwakemmi, on Friday.
Wale took to Instagram to announce the newborn's arrival, and it's clear by his post that he couldn't be happier to be a father.
"Overjoyed," he began an emotional post on Friday. "I named by album SHiNE when I knew my baby girl was on the way."
"I want to be a better man than I ever been…I'm infinitely in love with my princess," he wrote. "Imma keep working on me and pray to God I can design a young princess who flourishes to an absolute queen."
Wale also touched on his choice to remain private about Jourdan's pregnancy this time around. The 31-year-old rapper went through a miscarriage in 2015. "I spoke on the downward spiral that ensued after complications with my previous child," he explained. "For that reason I kept this very private as I prayed every day to receive this blessing."
"You are my everything and I'll see to it we SHiNE my precious Zyla," he concluded the sweet post.
