NEW YORK — Jennifer Hudson has a new role — that of a proud mother.
The 27-year-old Oscar winner gave birth to her first child, David Daniel Otunga Jr., on Monday, according to her publicist, Lisa Kasteler of WKT Public Relations. He is named after her fiance, David Otunga. The baby weighed 7 pounds, 14 ounces.
Hudson, shown at right singing at Mi chael Jackson’s memorial service, had not confirmed she was expecting before announcing news of the birth.
The entertainer suffered a tragic blow last fall when her mother, brother and nephew were slain in her native Chicago. Her sister’s estranged husband is charged with the killings. The Associated Press
