"Our family would first like to thank everyone for their warm wishes and sweet celebration of Baby K's arrival," it read. "Our children's lives have always been extremely private and they have been endlessly encouraged to be their own people. We have always wanted them to be individuals and NOT be known as 'someone's daughters.'"

The Grammy Award-winner continued, "I now ask that respect to please continue as this young family begins the greatest days of their lives."
