Last week, singer Teyana Taylor welcomed her first child with fiance Iman Shumpert in a dramatic at-home delivery, with her baby daddy Cleveland Cavaliers guard as the attending physician, NBC Sports reports. The 25-year-old singer took to Instagram to share the magical story of how she easily gave birth at home.
"On Dec 16th at 6:42 a.m. in our bathroom Junie decided she wanted to take her first breath into this world," the "Maybe" singer wrote. "She came out as a wonderful surprise to everyone!"
The singer admitted, "Not knowing I was in labor until I felt her head...it took two ten count pushes with my fiancé playing Dr and she entered this world into his bare hands!"
Taylor recalled, "Eyes full of tears and barely able to speak to the emergency operator @imanshumpert tied a pair of red headphones around the umbilical cord and the ambulance made their grand entrance 5 min later."
The new mom wrote, "She opened her eyes right away, gazed into mine and never cried! He handed her to me wrapped in our bath towel and wiped her face for me to see what LOVE really is. She has blown Christmas away!"
Taylor and Shumpert named their baby girl Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. The NBA athlete and new dad spoke to Cleveland.com to share his experience delivering his own daughter, saying, "I was hoping the EMS would get there faster. They didn't."
"By the time they came, I already had her wrapped in a blanket, the umbilical cord tied and they were telling me, 'Hey man, you did a pretty good job. I don't think I could have done that,'" Shumpert recalled.
"I just sort of went with instinct, I guess," he said of the experience. "She was in pain, said she felt her coming. I've got good hands."
Shumpert was so moved by the experience that he even broke down in tears when talking about the birth of his daughter on Good Morning America over the weekend. He said, "I've never felt a feeling like that. It seems like every time I try to relive the story, I get choked up. It's a powerful thing."
E! Online reports that just a week after the magical birth, the 25-year-old singer posted a photo of her post-baby body on Instagram, showing off her svelte figure and her abs.
"Dear Baby Iman.... Thank you for this snap back in 6 days. I love you my darling," Taylor wrote. She also shared that she hasn't gone to the gym since she gave birth, making her post-baby body even more unbelievable and enviable.
Billboard reports that Shumpert proposed to Taylor with a ruby engagement ring in November during her baby shower.
