Congratulations to New Edition original member Ron DeVoe. The 49-year-old Atlanta businessman and his faithful wife, former singer Shamari Fears, are expecting their first child together!
Fears, an original member of the R&B girl group Blaque, is expecting her first baby at the high risk age of 37.
Doctors recommend having babies by age 30 to avoid complications of a high risk pregnancy due to the advanced age of the eggs. Pregnancy risks are higher for mothers age 35 and older. The risks include Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), gestational diabetes, stroke, autism, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, the potentially deadly eclampsia, and more.
The couple apparently waited until they were financially stable and emotionally prepared for a new addition to their family.
“GOD has blessed us with the greatest! —> A #NEWEDITION TO OUR FAMILY,” Ron gushed on Instagram on Wednesday.
Thanks to loyal reader MissMiami305 for the tip.
Look at this Simone, Heavenly, Jackie, Quad approach to delivering baby news.
Oh man Congrats! So happy for you guys…Stay blessed black people!
CONGRATS to them! Seem like they’ve been doing it right!
Aww thanks Auntie for the s/o lol
Sn, I didn’t know his wife was a former member of Blaque. Cool!

To hear her tell it

Baby by baby we continue to prove that woman wrong?? Look at Jesus?
Congrats to Ron and his wife.
Wouldnt want to be in my 60’s raising a teenager though.
I was stumped for a minute and looked for Ashton (since he ain’t show up about dump, I figured that he would maybe, perhaps show up here.)CTHU
You see Shamari a “Faithful” and NOT “long suffering” wife!! Praise Da lawd!!
Congrats to them both!
Lol ??
50 looks great on Ron! Congrats
Hey Dub! Good am
She 37, so she will only be 57 when her baby is 20….how is that raising a teen in her 60’s?
He is 49
Congrats!!!
She’s pretty.
I was just listening to that old Blaque song yesterday.
WIFE not wifey right on brotha!!
Did you see the 1st reunion last week?
Some ppl wombs must be filled with Michigan water bc every time somebody has a baby it’s a list of stipulations on why they shouldn’t.

Oh, you talking about him, my bad.
But again so….if parents die, grandparents raise the kids—–it happens and they are successful.
Why folks can’t say congrats and that be it?

Yes. In medical terms. I have had several colleagues get pregnant 35-37 and all of their pregnancies have been deemed high risk by their physicians.

Congrats to them!
Did that really happen????? I haven’t seen that movie in so long?
Melanin.
I know from a medical standpoint its considered high risk. Hell I’m 5’1 and 150 lbs and considered obese from a “medical stand point.” My point is its bs especially when women in their 50’s are still having healthy babies and technology is more advanced from when they conducted these bs studies
Atlanta Clique…
I am dead at this GIF lol. Thia gonna turn into a bastard born out of wedlock vs those conceived during marriage real quick

Oh Wow!! I didnt know he was married to the lead singer form Blaque. And they been married since 2006. They REALLY be low key! CONGRATS to them! Blaque had a few songs back in the day that were kinda cute and head bob worthy. And they were in Bring It On with Gabby. Sad what happened to Natina Reed.
Bunch of Elvira Hancocks in this piece!! Wombs so polluted!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/218477a51409151c4587c8f866fc566a02536f5a4882f91f90125aab0b7180ad.gif
I know. I wonder how they met.
And you a blind B. “Congratulations” is the first word in the post.
Ouch!!!
Would you really want Negative Nancy to bring a child into this world?child abuse?
they look like siblings? gonna b a beautiful baby?? congrats??
No…LOL I found it yesterday and CTHU every time I see it!
Now that’s an ooogly cry.
Poor Octavia.
Hey Munchie. Thanks for honoring us with your presence after all these months. How are the haters over on Bawsip?
I died laughing when first saw this and keep laughing!
THE END!! CTHU
Good Morning Roses. Ronnie is aging backwards huh?
Congrats on the baby
Lmaaaaaao? The innanet remains undefeated?
I love seeing black couples wearing wedding rings. Maybe that’s just me..
#blacklove #blackmarriage
You don’t if their babies are healthy. Do you work in their pediatrician’s office?
Awww, Beautiful Couple! Congrats! She looks so much like Monica….
I am happy for her!! This is monumental and I hope she ‘preciates it!!
LMAO that’s my movie *goes to listen to the circle of life* Where is Scar?
Me too! Especially black men. I thought I was the only one. Glad I am not alone
u acting funny!?!?!?
…………… sandymae did you just clap back…lol
49??? ok ok?????
Sandy there are plenty over 35 and some 50, who have had healthy babies, especially with today’s medicine. There have been healthy babies born to women this age without today’s medicine.
Stop that!
High risk my foot my mom had her 3rd baby at 47. She said my dad asked for a paternity test we died lol.
They are equally yoked and she’s a submissive woman who lets her husband be the man of the house. Some of you can learn a few things from this highly favored couple.
awwww that is so sweet…congrats to them both.
No not at all. It’s been maybe 20 years?? I couldn’t remember if the hyenas attacked that baby or not? Mornin?
Lmao at your daddy. Omg I would die if I got pregnant unexpectedly after 40. Hell even now.
What I say wrong up top? I was irked at folks making negative comments. Don’t come on here messing with me today!! I been good so far! LOL
Congratulations!!! Ronnie has lead a healthy lifestyle. They will be fine. Ronnie seems like such a positive person.
I like that he was able to put his pride to the side and went and got a skill when the group reached a low point which let to his own real estate business. I enjoy his mothers dailt inspirational messages. They are some of my favorite retweets. Congrats!!!
Who knows it may change how they look at things.
my mother had my brother at 43. he’s normal. i see 16 year old have disabled kids so does it mean having babies too young is high risk, i hate these medical stat crap
Lisa Nicole is such a snoozefest.??
Again, you don’t know if they are healthy or not. You don’t know if they have visual acuity problems or hearing problems or are autistic. These are issues known to affect babies born from old eggs.
Valid point. I have seen it happen.
Im not talking about the movie lol
But 20yrs…damn its been that long since its release *counts fingers and toes* Good Morn-Ting 
She favors Monica in this pic.
All mine were and are healthy and I was young, my aunt who was the “right age” bracket got 1 who is mentally disabled.
These medical stats exist for a reason though. I’ts a known fact that the rate of miscarriage is higher for women over 35.
Morning!
Yes she did and I just died https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/83ac451e2d86c23371354cb475aec5d5e659468e5286b5fe8d39ab18c0a2ada6.gif

My comment was to anyone in general. I’m typing from inside the Disqus dashboard which only allows me to reply to others, not post a new comment.
I know folks who had babies late in life and they are healthy as hell, so there is the possibility.
But are we admitting that Little Boy Orange Face could be, since his momma and daddy was old eggs and sperm filled?
Well whatchu say to ole girl and then prayed about it and decided to delete it? Below? Im at my desk CRINE Sandra. You are a MESS.
Come thru with the medical knowledge, sir! ?
And you couldn’t locate a negative comment, huhn? CTHU…….okay, but we agreeing on something.
Chileeeeee she called her a B. Auntie gave it right back to her….. I am ????
Sorry. I replied to the first comment at the top of the dashboard.
It ain’t gone….still there! She being EXTRA Provocative today!! CTHU
Goes up to see how I can make comments last at all times!! LOL
Naw I left and came back and its gone on my end.
It was for her to read. She learnt today.
What she said? I refreshed and its gone. I saw that B. I was like whoo CHIT. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f8ce3f4a86e5da6a7b214a75a1f61fe6f61a22a858be36aae945e52537d4202e.gif
Hollering! ?
Each one teach one Sandra.
Wow a baby congrats to the 3 of them.
New post. Eddie from Family Matters. I been waiting on his woman beating ass at the DOE
Daffaney said: Sandra you a forever hating B.Why couldn’t you just say congrats
Sandy said: And you a blind B. “Congratulations” is the first word in the post.

Congrats
Course he trying to discredit her by saying she a money hungry groupie
LOL….not a blind B
Say what u want but between the congrats ya ash was still throwing shade
Congratulations! I love them as a couple. BTW, Ronnie looks amazing for his age (not that 49 is old).
Those same issues can derive from those bogus vaccines that contain mercury, formaldehyde, aluminum, etc. but from a
“medical standpoint” you’re supposed to give them to your child knowing they’re toxic LOL Sometimes we have to step away from the books (script) and use some common sense. Technology has grown significantly in the medical field over the years and 37 should not be considered high risk. Now 20 years ago I would’ve had a different opinion. This woman is 60 and just had twins and they’re healthy. She contributed it to “power of medicine and a healthy body.” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bb7e3f244f0e25db4457a6cd065a589e7a0404c68c17130ddf237c34c3f475fd.jpg

i COMPLETELY love the both of them! Blessings to them!
LOLLOLLOLLOL!!!
They look good together…
Nope i agree. I really thought i was alone in this!
Sometimes you font it, then you delete it because in the end it ain’t worth no cyber fistacuffs.
I know it is sad. And the other member died too..which was Natina’s sister. She’s the only surviving one
Congratulations ?
Amen Sandy, now you preaching lol
I”m hollering! lolll
You tickle me lol
Haaaa! This just got me put out of a meeting for not being able to hold it in! This sh!t hilarious!
Wow! I didnt know the other girl died too! Let me Google and find out what happened.
?????
*DEAD*
The 3rd member Brandi is not dead.
Congratulations. Love these two together.
Congrats to these two;-)
And????
Me too
I LOVE THIS POST.
Beautiful couple. Ron Devoe aged beautifully. He looks great as an elder man and his wife is his beautiful compliment. 50 is the new 30, with married, older, wiser, prepared parents as the new and welcomed trend.
Bless this marriage and their new edition.
No negativity intended at all, but he is one of those rare people that look better older than they did in their youth. He looks better than most 25 year old brothers. He must eat healthy and drink lots of water.
???
So you think a child should be an experiment?
Wow.
Besides I believe that Sandy is in her 50’s so her eggs are a might dusty by now.
U sure?
Congrats to fhannnn Ron and his lovely wife.
Okay you right…look at me starting rumors lolll. Natina’s sister shortly after she died and she is not the other member of Blaque. My bad!!!!
“The high risk age of 37”!?! Wishing them a healthy and safe pregnancy would be too much after congratulating them. She just had to point out the sad and unfortunate complications that can happen (at any age …mind you).
Auntie said she had time on her calendar tuhday!
You made it, Big Timer!! ?
All of that huh????lol congratulations you made it!!!!
Hey Dub
I sent condolences to you in another post, don’t know if you saw it or not..so I just want to make sure you know I’m praying for your and your family during this time..Be blessed
Yes medically they automatically assume h high risk because of age. I had my son at 37 almost 11yrs after I had my daughter..I certainly had issues I had placenta previa (google it) had to have c section Feb 15th we just celebrated his 23rd.bday
gosh dangit he fione… he was my favorite… HBD to his wife tho
CONGRATS!!!
Yay!
Congrats!! He aging like fine wine!!
Shamari needs to be on somebody’s TV
Wow so beautiful! Congrats to them!
Congratulations
I hate those Komodo dragon looking braids on Cardi…
Congratulations!!! Lovely Classy Pregnant family Picture… Thats so rare now in todays world.
I don’t have to Google that, Hunny–STAWP making assumptions about folk. And this was about there being no “perfect age” for childbirth on this blog- either they to young or too old- or not married or whatever.
GOD is the creator, Not the doctors!! They both look 17 years old. Congratulations, Beautiful!!!
Aww Congrats. It is truly a blessing and honor to bring another life into this world. I wish Shamari a wonderful birthday and a safe pregnancy. I know this New Edition will be truly blessed in this household. Love you Ron you will always be my Favorite New Edition 4 Lyfe…….
Ain’t that the truth lls.
Hey Sandra, I am here all the time, just don’the feel the need to comment on EVERY post. Wouldn’t know about Bawsip, barely glide through there.
Sorry wasn’t trying to throw shade or check you , was just adding to the conv from my personal ex
Sorry I was not trying to check you or throw shade I was just adding to convo from personal experience…Be Blessed….
Good Good for them. Shemari ole sexy self. They did it the way I would do it if I were following the trend of being str8. They married many years ago and enjoyed each other before pushing out a kid. Shemari finished her degree, became an AKA, all while being married to a legend, Ron Devoe.
Do you like this write up? Hire me.
Ron & Shamari……….

Congratulations. He’s one of the few that missed the child support bus. Good for him
The tea I know about this young lady…. Chile….. But Congrats to them Ron seems like a good guy… I wish him the best ….
Congrats! After seeing these guys story I respect them even more. It takes a lot of heart and compassion to stil forgive and even stand to be in the same room with an out of control group member. Can’t say that about any other group of black artists. New Edition will always be loved.
Awesome!!, He always seemed like such a genuine guy!
Spill please ?
