FUTURE WELCOMES BABY BOY WITH MODEL JOIE CHAVIS

Future has confirmed the birth of his fifth child. Though he did not share the date of birth, both the rapper and his newest son's mother, model and entrepreneur Joie Chavis, shared a photo of baby Hendrix on Instagram on (Dec. 25).

With a picture from the baby's first photo shoot, Chavis simply wrote "Hendrix" with an eagle emoji. Future followed suit a couple of hours later, re-posting the image to his Instagram Story feed and writing, "Hendrix. Born King my King" with both an eagle emoji and a heart.

Last month, Future and Chavis seemingly confirmed the rumors that they were expecting a child together when the rapper attended Joie’s baby shower in Los Angeles. The pair were romantically linked to each other in 2017, but since then, Future referred to another one of his children's mothers, Brittni Mealy, as his "queen" in a video shared on his Instagram story. There is no word on whether the birth of baby Hendrix has affected his romantic life.

This is the second child for Chavis, who co-parents a 7-year-old daughter, Shai, with rapper Bow Wow. This is the fifth for Future, who's soon headed to court over his travel schedule with his fourth child Future Jr., whom he co-parents with Ciara.
