AceShowbiz - Congratulations are in order for Jessica Sutta! The Pussycat Dolls singer and her husband Mikey Marquart welcomed their first child, a baby boy, on May 25, according to Entertainment Tonight.
The baby, whom the proud parents name Michael Jesse "MJ" Marquart, weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces, and measured 21 inches long. He was born at the hands of Dr. Karla Iacampo at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California.
Singing the medical team praises, Jessica said in a statement to the outlet, "She [Dr. Iacampo] and her team are amazing! After pushing for four hours, I ended up having a C-section and they moved fast and quickly and made it less intimidating for me, because I was definitely nervous." She added, "But there was so much joy and amazing chemistry between nurses and doctors that they made the experience a comfortable and an unforgettable one!"
To make her more relaxed, Jessica also said that the staff "even played rock music during the surgery, and when MJ was born he came out to 'Good Times Bad Times' by Led Zeppelin."
Meanwhile, a rep for the Marquarts said, "Mommy, Baby and Daddy are now safe and doing well at home, enjoying their new family."
Jessica announced her pregnancy back in March. "I've always wanted to be a mommy. I swear, I'm going to get so emotional because I'm finally able to say it," the singer, who tied the knot with Mikey in September 2019, told Entertainment Tonight's Deidre Behar. "It's been so exciting and it's a dream come true. ... It's just been an incredible journey. What a beautiful gift that 2020 gave me."
She also shared that the other Pussycat Dolls were supportive of her when she broke the news to them. "The girls have been so awesome. When I told them, they were so, so excited," she said. She also turned to Carmit Bachar and Kimberly Wyatt for pregnancy tips, sharing, "Carmit and Kimberly are both mothers, and I've just asked them a million questions like, 'How do you do this? What do you do?' They said just to enjoy it. You know, it's a beautiful experience."
"To feel something inside you moving, and you just connect, and it's like this overwhelming sense of love and protection," she shared. "You're just like, 'Oh my god, I can't wait to meet you and hold you and kiss you and just spoil you.' "
