Singer Teyana Taylor gave birth to her second child, a sweet baby girl named Rue Rose.
The 29-year-old gave birth on Sunday morning at home in her bathroom — the morning after her star-studded baby shower in Atlanta, Ga.
Her husband, NBA star Iman Shumpert confirmed in an Instagram post.
“At 3:28 am on Sept 6th 2020 Rue Rose decided that the baby shower thrown for her and mommy was too lit. She didn’t make the party but she managed to make the next day her birthdate!!!” Iman posted.
The girl dad added: “Now… when we buy homes, we always find a bathroom with great energy… but not in a million years would you be able to tell me we’d deliver both of our daughters in a bathroom without the assistance of a hospital!
“Our newest edition entered the world in the water and came out looking around and ready to explore! A healthy child. A little sister. Another daughter. Black love wins… again. Welcome babygirl… we love you!”
Teyana reposted Iman’s post and added, “We love you Rue, welcome baby girl @babyruerose,” along with a bunch of emojis.
Teyana’s fans speculated about the meaning behind the baby’s name.
“Rue” in French means street or lane. And in English literature, “rue” means to express sorrow or regret, such as in the sentence: “I rue the day he cheated on me.”
Rue may be short for ruby or slang for “rouge”, the color of cosmetics such as the red lipstick her mom favors.
The couple is also parents to four-year-old daughter Iman Shumpert Jr.
