NBA Star Kyrie Irving welcomes first child with partner Marlene Wilkerson
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving and his partner Marlene Wilkerson are celebrating the birth of their son. The couple had kept their pregnancy under wraps until this week when the YouTube star announced it in a video on her page The Find Guru, where she posts videos about entrepreneurship and health.
The video was titled “Our Pregnancy Journey,” the 11-minute video clip features images of Wilkerson and Irving together the process and a meditation dedicated to “Black women, Black mamas and Black families,” written by Tiffanny Burns and narrated by Jamarah Amani.
At the end of the video, the couple is seen in a bathtub then only heard as a baby cries out, and Irving says, “We got you. I got you, baby boy.”
The video does not say when the baby was born or reveal his name.
The video features a “dedication to indigenous women to reclaim their bodies and heal our lineage through sacred natural birth. May you find your way to that inner knowing. May we educate, empower and assist each other through the sacred journey of becoming and being a mother.”
The baby boy is Irving’s second child. The star has a daughter, Azurie Elizabeth Irving, born in 2015 with his previous partner, Andrea Wilson.
