Is this the baby fever of the century, or what? Keke Wyatt, mother to 11 kids, says she might have another go – she wants another baby!
“I think I’m gonna do one more. I love being a mama. If I wasn’t a mommy, I don’t think I would be who I am today. I started my career with a child, and I’m still in my career with 11 kids,” the powerhouse singer said in a recent interview with TV One’s Uncensored.
If the TV personality does decide to have another baby to the bunch, Keke Wyatt will become a mother of twelve. Last summer, Wyatt gave birth to her 11th child, a boy named Ke’Zyah Jean Darring, who is known as a “miracle baby” with her second husband, Zackariah Darring.
Before Ke’Zyah’s birth, Wyatt revealed that he was diagnosed with a severe genetic disorder known as Trisomy 13 or Patau Syndrome –a rare chromosomal defect in which every and a portion of chromosome 13 appears three times.
Physicians warned Wyatt of a risky delivery, but with faith, Ke’Zyah was later born ‘all well and good’ in June.
And while fans continue to get surprised by Wyatt’s multiple pregnancy announcements, the former R&B Divas star said she has always wished for a large family.
“I always said when I was a little girl I wanted a lot of children. I used to always say, “Mommy, I gonna have between 8 and 10.’ Well, I’m at 11, so we’ll see what the rest brings of life.”
Keke Wyatt seems content to make her childhood dreams come true, but as with almost everything in life, there seems to be some pushback. The actress’ critics have always questioned whether she can balance motherhood and career demands.
“I started my career with a child, and I’m still in my career with 11 kids. After they told me, ‘Well, you have a baby. You’re not going to do what you need to do.”
“You can’t travel, and you can’t such and such.’ I said, ‘Ok.’ My mother looked at me in my eyes and said, ‘Baby, you can do whatever you want to do, with or without a baby,” she added.
And true to her mother’s word, despite having almost a dozen kids, Wyatt has thrived both professionally and personally. In fact, when the artist released her first R&B hit single with singer Avant in December 2001, Wyatt had given birth a year earlier to her first baby Keyver Wyatt Morton.
And since then, the outstanding personality has released five albums and starred in three of TV One’s R&B Divas.
