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.

Brad Paisley has called Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding “one of the least pretentious weddings he’s ever seen”.
The country star attended the ceremony alongside his actress wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley. They joined around 1,000 guests at New York City’s Madison Square Garden earlier this month as the global pop icon married the American football star.
Although the celebration attracted enormous attention and involved tight security and a stunning makeover of the famous arena, Paisley said the occasion never came across as excessive.
“Ironically, (it) was one of the least pretentious weddings that I've ever seen or ever will see,” Paisley told The Associated Press during an interview. “It meant a lot to be (invited). It was, kind of, a big thank you from her to invite us.”
Paisley, who chose Swift as an opening performer for his tour when she was a teenager in 2007, said he was delighted to be included in what many considered the biggest celebrity wedding of the year.
“They were very clear with the invite, and I took this personally when I got the invite, because in the invite, it said, ‘If you're getting this, you mean a lot to us,’” he revealed.
The musician also explained that guests were not told the wedding’s exact location until the date drew nearer.
“It was really fun to watch the cat and mouse game of, like, ‘We can tell you roughly where it's going to be, we're not gonna say what building... and here's the date. If you're in, we'll tell you more,’” he continued. “I went to my wife, I said, ‘Want to go?’ and she said, ‘Absolutely, we gotta be there!’ So, we did it, it was RSVP yes.”
Other famous attendees included Brad Pitt, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran, Sabrina Carpenter, Hugh Grant, Haim and Tom Hanks.
