Serayah and Joey Bada$$ celebrated their first child together with a blue, bear-themed baby shower. In a carousel upload to Instagram, the expecting couple was joined by family and friends for the intimate, heart-warming affair. Sharing the clips and pictures, Serayah penned a loving caption dedicated to her unborn child.

“It’s so hard me to even describe the gratitude I feel, or where to even start… It’s as if my heart bursts a million times over when I think about my son,” expressed the 29-year-old. “My first born, my purpose, my light, no words can effectively express the love that surrounds you. We are so thankful to our friends and family for showing up and showing out for us during this time. To my hunny, my rock, my soulmate thank you for being there every step of the way, I love you so much”

“We can’t wait to see you leave your imprint on this world lil man,” she closed with the sparkling emoji.

The couple revealed their pregnancy earlier this year in a stylish manner. Taking the runway during New York Fashion Week, the Empire actress sashayed for the lingerie brand AdoreMe, revealing her growing baby bump for the first time.

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that they are expecting a baby boy. The infant will be the Brooklyn rapper’s second child, as he has a 7-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

“I can’t say that she’s excited,” shared the Raising Kanan star with ESSENCE. “I think she’s processing, you know what I mean? I think she’s like, ‘I got to share my daddy now?’ But I already know she’s going to come around and she’s going to be a great big sister once he gets here. She’s going to be super hands-on.”

“It’s been a fully spiritual transformation for me. There’s been so many things revealed to me and there’s a sense of clarity and a natural instinct to just want to do all things,” added the mommy-to-be.

“I feel like I’m a purpose driven person in general, but it’s more of an emphasis now on what moves makes sense and how that affects the unit as a whole. And I think that that’s something that has definitely transformed me, especially as I’m turning 30 soon. Living my whole 20s just for me, this has been a full transformation now getting ready to parent and be one of the sole people responsible for another human being. So it’s definitely been a transformation, but a beautiful one.”
