Singer Jennifer Hudson’s son David Daniel Otunga Jr. has only been here for a little under 2 months now, but the former American Idol hopeful tells People.com that the little guy already has an ear for music! She also said that the experience of her becoming a mom is “just amazing.”
“He’s the cutest thing in the world!” she told People.com. “There are no words for it. He’s the best. It’s just amazing – us discovering each other, me becoming a mom. He seems like he’s very interested in music already. The other night he was having a fit screaming, and someone turns on the music and he just stops and calms down. And I was exactly the same way as a baby,” said Hudson, who played “Let It Be Me,” her collaboration with Rod Stewart, to calm her son. “Sometimes when he cries, I try to harmonize!”
J-Hud will also host ABC’s holiday music special, “Jennifer Hudson: I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” The one-hour special will follow Jennifer around as she relives her childhood Christmases with musical performances shot on location at the small neighborhood church where she brought the congregation to its feet week after week; the music academy where she studied; and other Chicago sites.”
It seems like this year is turning into a special one for Jennifer and her family. It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person!

How hard was it keeping your pregnancy under wraps?
“David and I were the only people who knew for a long time. I would forget I was pregnant, it was so easy. I didn’t have any morning sickness, no cravings either. I just thought, ‘Oh, well, we’ll wait until it’ll tell on itself.’ I didn’t show until I was seven months so that made it easy right there.”

Singer/actress Jennifer Hudson is officially a mom! She and her fiance David Otunga (most known for being “Punk” on VH1’s I Love New York) welcomed a healthy baby boy into the world Monday night (Aug 10). The baby, David Daniel Otunga Jr., came in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces.
“The baby is beautiful and perfect,” Hudson rep Lisa Kasteler said in a statement. “His parents are ecstatic.”
Hudson and Otunga chose not to find out the baby’s sex until birth. Congratulations to Jennifer and her husband!

News recently broke that Jennifer Hudson is definitely pregnant, confirming a long-held notion that we can rarely depend on publicists to report the truth. If you remember, back in April, her PR denounced the pregnancy rumors saying that there was no truth to them. Boy were they wrong and shame on us for listening to them. So now we have to take what they say with a grain of salt, just like how we take most of the information we receive these days.
But anyway, the pregnancy was confirmed when she held a baby shower at a relative’s home last Saturday (May 30) in Chicago. And the picture above of her, her 7 month baby bump and her fiance David Otunga leaving a KFC recently also adds more truth to the story. The bump doesn’t lie people. While no one knows the gender of the baby just yet, we do know he/she should be here sometime in the late summer (July/August).

R&B singer Jennifer Hudson performed on NBC’s “Today Show” Friday morning at the Rockefeller Center in New York City.
The former American Idol hopeful performed “Spotlight” and “If This Isn’t Love,” her hit singles from her current self-titled album in stores now. She also performed “And I Am Telling You,” a song she resurrected and made famous again, with some singer named Melissa in front of the live studio audience, who watched the performances from outdoors in the streets of Manhattan.
