Overview
JENNIFER HUDSON has become a mother for the first time, her publicist has announced.
The 27-year-old singer and actress gave birth to son David Daniel Otunga Jr at a Los Angeles hospital on Monday.
Publicist Lisa Kasteler said Hudson and fiance, David Otunga, were "ecstatic" about the arrival of their "beautiful and perfect" baby boy, who weighed 7lb 14oz (3.57kg).
The Oscar-winning star, who was a contestant on American Idol, had previously refused to confirm reports that she was expecting despite her obvious pregnancy bump.
The new arrival has brought joy to Hudson who last year lost her mother, brother and nephew after they were found shot dead in her home city of Chicago, Illinois.
William Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson's sister Julia, has since been charged with murder.
