Eve attends the 2016 VH1 Hip Hop Honors: All Hail The Queens at Lincoln Center on July 11, 2016 in New York City.
Andrew Toth/FilmMagicCongratulations are in order for Eve, who announced Friday (Oct. 15) that she's expecting her first child with husband Maximillion Cooper.
"Can you believe it @mrgumball3000 we finally get to tell everyone!!!!!" she captioned two photos of the stylist MC showing off her baby bump, which both her and Cooper's hands caressed in the second shot. "You all know how long we’v [sic] been waiting for this blessing!!! We get to meet our lil human February 2022."
The 42-year-old rapper, who has been married to Cooper since 2014, is already a stepmother to his four children from a previous marriage: Lotus, 19, Jagger, 17, Cash, 15, and Mini, 13. Cooper shared the same set of images on his Instagram account, "Very excited to share this news… we have a lil human on the way!"
Swizz Beatz, who signed Eve to his Ruff Ryders label imprint Full Surface Records in the '90s, commented, "Congrats Queen" before joking that he and wife Alicia Keys were "the God parents." The megawatt producer is serving as the executive music producer of ABC's new series Queens, starring Eve, Brandy, Naturi Naughton and Nadine Velazquez as a '90s girl group called the Nasty Bitches trying to shine once more in the spotlight.
Naughton wrote underneath Eve's post, "Yessss!!! I’m so glad it’s out! Congratulations girl!!! soo happy for you guys." Trina also sent an arrangement of orange heart emojis after the two went head-to-head in a Verzuz battle back in June.

Maroon 5 officially launched the second weekend of American Express presents BST Hyde Park with a headline performance on London's Great Oak Stage on Friday, 3 July 2026. Taking a short break from their ongoing global Love Is Like tour, the multi-platinum American pop rock band delivered an energetic sold out concert for thousands of fans. The milestone performance reflected just how far the group has come since making its London debut at the intimate Barfly venue in 2005.
Frontman Adam Levine guided the six member band through an uninterrupted set packed with worldwide hits, kicking things off with "Harder To Breathe" after an opening audio tribute to The Beach Boys. The energy stayed high as the group launched into fan favorites including "Animals" and "One More Night," with Levine making his way along the runway to connect with fans gathered at the front of the stage. As the evening sky over London began to glow, "Sunday Morning" provided one of the night's standout moments, featuring an extended guitar showcase from lead guitarist James Valentine. The audience then joined together for huge singalongs to "She Will Be Loved" and the Cardi B collaboration "Girls Like You." The main performance wrapped up with the instantly recognizable whistle melody of "Moves Like Jagger," before an encore featuring "Payphone" and "Sugar" brought the night to an unforgettable finish.
The main stage also welcomed a crowd pleasing set from pop rock band OneRepublic during the late afternoon. Frontman Ryan Tedder performed a string of beloved hits spanning nearly twenty years, including "Stop and Stare," "Apologize," and the hugely successful European streaming favorite "Counting Stars." He also treated fans to a solo medley highlighting songs he has written for artists including Beyoncé and Adele.
Earlier in the day, Jess Glynne attracted a huge audience with spirited performances of chart hits "I’ll Be There" and "Hold My Hand," while R&B singer Ella Eyre impressed with powerful renditions of "Space" and a soulful take on "Crazy." The day's varied lineup also featured opening rock performances from Reading quartet Only The Poets, along with dynamic alternative sets by Bradley Simpson, Pedro Santos, and electronic pop duo VOILÀ across the festival site.
