Iggy Azalea has welcomed her first child, she announced on her Instagram story on Wednesday.
"I have a son," the Australian rapper, 30, wrote. "I kept waiting for the right time to say something but it feels like the more time passes the more I realize I'm always going to feel anxious to share news that giant with the world."
Azalea, whose real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly, didn't share any photos of the baby nor did she announce the child's name.
"I want to keep his life private and wanted to make it clear he is not a secret & I love him beyond words," she said.
Several sources speculated that Azalea was pregnant in December 2019 and gave birth to a child in April 2020.
After the rumors surfaced, Azalea denied the pregnancy in a since-deleted tweet and wrote, "It would be so great if you stopped paying any mind to random tea pages."
She also posted an Instagram photo of herself lounging in a red bikini in December 2019, shortly after outlets reported the initial pregnancy speculations. She captioned the photo, "WISH U WERE HERE."
Following the full-body photo, the "Fancy" rapper stopped posting photos to Instagram until May 9.
Azalea is currently in a relationship with rapper Playboi Carti, whose real name is Jordan Carter, however she hasn't confirmed whether or not he is the child's father.
The couple met and began dating in 2018, moving in together shortly after. During an 2019 interview with Fader, the "Woke Up Like This" rapper, 23, said, "Once I started talking to her, I just cut off everybody. It was over with."
He explained that they prefer to keep their relationship private and aren't likely to collaborate in the future, though he added, "I support everything she does."
In July 2019, Azalea and Carti sparked engagement rumors after the "Black Widow" rapper posted an Instagram photo of herself wearing a large diamond on her left ring finger. Azalea has since deleted the photo, and neither of the musicians have confirmed the engagement.
