The Oscar-winning actress and Grammy-winning singer is now a mother of baby boy named after her actor fiance David Otunga.

AceShowbiz - Jennifer Hudson is embracing a new role beside acting and singing, that is becoming a mother. The finalist of "American Idol" season 3 has given birth to a baby boy on late Monday, August 10, her publicist Lisa Kasteler of WKT Public Relations has confirmed.

The infant weighed 7 lbs., 14 oz. at birth and is named David Daniel Otunga Jr. He is the first child for Jennifer and her actor fiance David Otunga, who have been engaged since September last year. "The baby is beautiful and perfect," Lisa says in a statement, adding "His parents are ecstatic."

Throughout her pregnancy, Jennifer Hudson had never confirmed that she was an expectant mother though Essence magazine broke the news of her pregnancy in April, six months after her mother, brother, and young nephew were murdered. She instead allowed her growing baby bump to speak for itself. She and David Otunga also kept the sex of their baby a surprise.

Jennifer, however, shared news of his son's birth with Roger Friedman of SHOWBIZ 411.
