Da Brat is about to have a little rascal of her own.
The hip-hop star and her fiancée Jesseca “Judy” Dupart announced in an Instagram post on Tuesday that they are expecting their first child. A slideshow of selfies shows Da Brat holding Dupart from behind, making heart hands over her wife-to-be’s belly.
“We are EXTENDING the family,” the pair wrote, punctuating the caption with a pregnant emoji.

Da Brat came out publicly in June 2020 after 25 years in the music industry, simultaneously revealing her relationship with Dupart. A regular on Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta for several years, Da Brat starred in her own WE tv spin-off last summer called Brat Loves Judy, taking viewers behind the scenes of their relationship.
“I don’t give a fuck anymore; if I’m happy, that’s what matters,” the 47-year-old said on the series. “I’m Da Brat, I’m out the fucking closet, living out loud with my baby because I love Judy, and Judy loves me.” Amen!
In fact, the hip-hop vet has said it was her partner’s social media presence, as an entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Kaleidoscope Hair Products, that encouraged her to come out after many years of preferring to remain private.
“The reaction made me feel like, ‘Why didn’t I do this shit years ago?’” Da Brat told Variety shortly after coming out. “I got so many positive messages, phone calls, and I had at least 1,500 texts. My DMs were flooded too.”
Brat Loves Judy left off with Dupart’s surprise proposal, and the couple’s nuptials are set to take place on February 22, according to Da Brat’s tattoo of their wedding date shared on Instagram. Future plans for the series have not yet been announced, but the love story between them clearly continues apace.
Might there be a Da Brat-meets-rugrat followup season on the horizon? We can only hope.
