Da Brat never thought she’d become a mother. But when her wife, Jesseca Harris-Dupart, encouraged her to explore motherhood, she actively pursued her life’s most eventful chapter yet.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Da Brat didn’t think becoming a mother was part of her story. “I never thought I was going to have kids,” she says. “I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me. I’ve had a great career, a full life. I felt like, because I didn’t get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn’t going to happen for me.”
Da Brat carried her baby using Harris-Dupart’s eggs. The couple welcomed a healthy baby boy, True Legend Harris-Dupart, in July 2023.
