Big News for Draya Michele and Orlando Scandrick

The couple shared a special announcement on Thursday.

Draya Michele and Orlando Scandrick have a lot to celebrate. The couple welcomed their son, Jru Scandrick, into the world on April 8. The 6.5-pound, 20-inch bundle of joy (his name is pronounced "Drew") joins Draya's son, Kniko, and Orlando's twin daughters, Taylor and Tatiana, into the blended family. 

“We are super excited to add our sixth member to the family,” Michele says to People. “He’s such a good, healthy baby and everyone is already infatuated with him. His brother and sisters are in love.”
Draya announced her pregnancy back in January, and has faced plenty of ups and downs with Scandrick ever since. The couple briefly split up shortly after the announcement amid rumors that Scandrick had been cheating, but then reunited a few weeks later. Hopefully they are in a good place now that they've welcomed their first child together.
Congratulations to the entire happy clan!
