Fatherhood doesn’t have an age limit. Jamie Foxx and his girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, are expecting their first baby together, as originally reported by TMZ. This new bundle of joy will join Foxx’s other children: Corinne, 32, and Anelise, 17, both from previous relationships.
Foxx has famously been a girl dad who has empowered his two daughters, sharing in a past interview that he told them, “I want you to crack that glass ceiling. I want you to break it wide open because you mine.”
No information has been given on the baby’s gender, so only time will tell if he’ll be dad to a trio of girls or if a young baby boy is about to enter the family fold.
Jay Cinco and Lala Baptiste
Just add an engagement ring to that teething ring! Rapper Jay Cinco proposed to his girlfriend, Internet model and personality Lala Baptiste, during a baby shower for their first child together, which was live-streamed on YouTube on March 28. Getting down on one knee, Cinco produced a sparkly engagement ring for Baptiste, his partner of one year.
The couple first started dating in early 2025 and confirmed their relationship in October 2025. They officially announced they were expecting their first child on December 27, 2025, through an Instagram post. The newly engaged couple is expecting a baby girl.
Mario and Esmeralda Rios
All the GRAMMYS, Billboard, BET Awards and NAACP Image Awards are going to have to take a backseat to this. Mario and girlfriend Esmeralda Rios just welcomed a healthy baby boy into the family fold, making the 39-year-old R&B star a first-time father.
On his Instagram Stories, Mario, whose full name is Mario Dewar Barrett, showed his bootie-covered feet, keeping the beat inside the delivery room. Mario tagged the next shot with a note stating: “Doctor Barrett: Women are God’s greatest creation cuz what I witness today was only God’s work! Healthy baby boy!” The baby could be considered a bona fide snow baby, as it was born on January 26, 2026, the day after one of the most intense snowstorms across the U.S.
Mario first announced that he and his partner were expecting in August 2025, when the couple shared maternity photos on social. With a hand placed over Rios’ baby bump, he stated, “It’s a whole universe in there! I can’t wait.” Mario has expressed his desire to be a present dad, especially since he grew up without a father.
The news of a healthy baby boy is a joyous one, but Mario and Rios have had to deal with negative reactions to their pairing. Mario has shared that he and Rios are long-time acquaintances who came back together later in life and are now mature enough to handle parenthood and relationship criticism. The “Let Me Love You” singer addressed online commentary about their relationship, stressing that theirs is built on trust and love and that their partnership is a “safe place.”
In November 2025, Mario released his single “Home.” Produced by Dre Moon, Anthony Bell and Courtlin Jabrae, he sings about wanting to be in the place that he shares with his woman and partner. Now, with a new baby in tow, there are twice as many reasons to be where the heart is.
Congrats to the couple and welcome to their new baby boy!
