Kelly Rowland revealed she was pregnant with Noah Jon in October 2020, as she appeared on the cover of Women's Health.

"We had been talking about it loosely, and then COVID happened, and we were just like, "Let's see what happens.'" She said, explaining that it was a surprise to find out she was pregnant so quickly but was overjoyed at the idea of a new arrival.

"But you still want to remind people that life is important ... And being able to have a child … I’m knocking at 40’s door in February. Taking care of myself means a lot to me."

On the announcement, she said, “I was thinking, 'Oh my god, my fans are gonna be so disappointed.…They wanted an album first, but they got a baby!' and I was like, ‘I have to figure this out so they get both.’”

She joked to People magazine, "Me and my husband were in the middle of COVID just like everybody else ... and there's not much to do in the house,"

"We were like, 'We'll just try for a baby, we'll see what happens because we don't know how long this is gonna last,'" She said, "Literally, by the grace of God, God blessed us with a new life. We're just really excited."

Congrats Kelly!
