*Kelis is expecting her third child and second with husband Mike Mora.
The singer and chef, 40, announced the exciting news on Instagram Wednesday via a photo of a positive First Response Early Result pregnancy test.
“Chef Kelis — table for 5 please. We’re adding one more,” Kelis said.
“There are so many things to consider during this time in your life, especially during the crazy times that we live in — from what we eat, to how we live and love,” she wrote in a lengthy IG post.
“This is the time we must take for ourselves without apologies, especially when we still live in a country where Black women historically have had the highest maternal mortality rates,” Kelis said. “Knowing your body and what it needs, being able to be still and quiet enough to hear what it tells you.”
Continuing, “Don’t be afraid to look for a team that looks like you and can relate with a level of care that will make you feel your most comfortable,” she advised. “It’s your right. It’s our right. And we must demand not only what’s best for us, but for our community,” she said.
“So, I’m so grateful to be able to work with First Response and to announce that a charitable donation to @blackmamasmatter will be made on my behalf,” Kelis continued. “@blackmamasmatter is an organization that’s working to ensure Black mamas have the rights, respect, resources to thrive before, during, and after pregnancy. Together we can change these statistics, one woman at a time.”
The R&B songstress is already mother to two sons: 4½-year-old Shepherd, whom she shares with Mora, and 11-year-old son Knight, with ex-husband Nas.
