The pair, who already share sons five-year-old Jonas and Johan, 12, appeared particularly excited to expanding their family with a daughter. 

Before sharing the exciting news, Bustamante gushed that her man is a ‘phenomenal’ father on social media.

‘Love You,’ Fabolous replied to her series of family pictures in the comment section.

‘Happy Father’s Day to everyone from #TheFamily,’ the Grammy nominee captioned an image of himself with his two sons, who respectively have tens of thousands of social media followers.

Within the first two hours, his comment section was brimming with congratulations from his 7.3 million Instagram followers. 

Last year, he saluted other dads on their parenting journeys, which don’t come with ‘instruction manuals’ and have to balance fatherhood with ‘career, inner struggles, family problems, trust issues’ and more via Instagram.

Last year, Fabolous narrowly avoided jail time by taking a deal in a domestic violence case stemming from a string of incidents with Emily in 2018. 

In October 2018, the rapper was indicted on ‘one count of domestic violence with significant bodily injury, two counts of threatening to kill and one count of possession of a weapon,’ TMZ reported. 

The charges were stemming from a physical altercation between Fabolous and Emily that was captured on tape.

Bustamante had previously told authorities that Fabolous had punched her in the face, knocking out two of her teeth.

She said she was afraid he had two handguns at the home and had her father and brother there to confiscate them, which led to the confrontation.

The pair split for a time following the incident, but got back together.
