Jennifer Hudson Welcomes a Boy!
Tuesday August 11, 2009



It's a boy for Jennifer Hudson!

She and fiance David Otunga -- who both opted not to find out the sex of their baby until he was born -- welcomed David Daniel Otunga Jr. late Monday, her publicist confirms to Usmagazine.com.

"The baby is beautiful and perfect," Hudson's publicist tells Us. "His parents are ecstatic."

Their son weighed in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces.

The Oscar-winning Dreamgirls star -- who is engaged to the I Love New York 2 contestant (and Harvard Law grad) -- has been looking forward to forming a family.

"I definitely want a family," the 27-year-old told Access Hollywood earlier this year. "You know, I'm almost 30 now, so we gotta get started sometime."

News that the American Idol alum was pregnant came seven months after the tragic deaths of her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew, who were murdered last October.

Her boy is absolutely beautiful!!!

AWWWWWWW! That is precious! I love her soo much! This is so great for her after everything she's been through. J-Hud <3333
