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.

Live from London, it is Saturday Night Live.
The legendary sketch comedy institution officially launched its UK edition on March 21 with Saturday Night Live UK, featuring former SNL cast member Tina Fey as host and British indie rock group Wet Leg as the episode’s musical guest.
This global expansion of Lorne Michaels’ famous NBC program began with Fey’s opening monologue, which included unexpected cameos from Michael Cera and UK television personality Graham Norton.
“It’s an absolute honour and kind of historic,” Fey told the crowd. “Guys, I am the youngest person to ever host SNL UK!”
During the broadcast, Wet Leg delivered performances of two songs taken from their second album Moisturizer, which opened at Number 6 on Billboard’s Top Rock and Alternative Albums chart and also climbed to Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart in the United Kingdom.
The band first appeared performing the record’s fourth single “Mangetout,” a Grammy nominated song that also earned a place on Billboard’s list of the 20 best UK and Ireland songs of 2025. Later in the show they returned to play the album’s lead single “Catch These Fists.”
After their appearance on SNL UK, Wet Leg will travel back to the United States for a series of major festival dates including Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo and Outside Lands. Their US tour is scheduled to begin April 15 at the Fox Theater in Pomona, California.
Upcoming episodes of SNL UK have also been confirmed. Wolf Alice will serve as musical guest on the March 28 episode hosted by Jamie Dornan, while Kasabian will perform on the April 2 show with Riz Ahmed as host.
The show is broadcast on Sky in the United Kingdom and is available to stream on Peacock in the United States. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first episode attracted more than 220,000 viewers on Sky. It was released in the US on March 22 via Peacock.
