It’s a boy for Jordin Sparks and husband Dana Isaiah! The 28-year-old American Idol alum welcomed their first child on Wednesday, May 2, Us Weekly can confirm.
The new mom revealed her post-baby body in an appearance at the Show Dogs premiere on Saturday, May 5, just three days after giving birth. She also shared a pic of her newborn on Instagram on Saturday, revealing his name — DJ — and writing, “He’s here & we couldn’t be more in love!!! Go DJ!”

Entertainment Tonight‘s Kevin Frazier also shared a pic of Sparks from the event, captioning it, “Wait @jordinsparks had a baby two days ago and rolled up on the red carpet this morning looking like a #Superstar … she told me she had the baby Wednesday afternoon, and four hours later was out of the birthing center and home. Congrats to Jordin and her husband Dana … Dana Jr was 8 pounds and is happy and healthy.”
The “No Air” singer shocked fans in November 2016 when she revealed that she was not only expecting but also that she secretly wed the 25-year-old model in mid-July.
Sparks opened up to Us Weekly earlier this year about the strange side effect her second trimester had brought on. “My appetite went away!” she told Us at the time. “I just don’t think about it, which has never been me. I’ve thought about food my entire life. I love food, so that’s been one surprising thing.”
The season 6 Idol winner also gushed to Us about her attentive beau: “If my back hurts, he says, ‘Can I rub it for you?’ He surprises me a lot with things like flowers. He got me this pregnancy tea that I drink all the time now.”
And it wasn’t just his nurturing ways that helped her navigate her pregnancy. “If I’m overwhelmed, he just breaks through with something funny,” she gushed to Us. “I’m like, ‘This is why I love you!’”
