Hollywood And Bollywood Top Celebrities Gossip

Oscar-winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson gave birth to her first child, a son, on Monday night, Showbiz411.com is reporting.

E! Online and PEOPLE have both confirmed the news.

David Daniel Otunga Jr. was named after his dad, Hudson's fiancé. The couple decided to let the gender of their bundle of joy be a surprise, so they were sure to have both pink and blue clothes on hand for the birth.

"The baby is beautiful and perfect," Hudson's rep Lisa Kasteler told PEOPLE. "His parents are ecstatic."

Little David weighed in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces.

Hudson never actually announced she was pregnant, but the tell-tale signs (namely, a bump) blew her cover months ago.

The Hudson family has endured great hardship in the past year, with the murder of the singer's mother, brother and nephew at the hands of her sister's estranged husband.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Hudson moved from the Windy City after the crimes.
