It’s a boy for Kelis and Nas! The 29-year-old R&B singer gave birth to son Knight Jones around 9 p.m. Wednesday evening in New York City. The baby boy weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz.
According to her rep, Kelis delivered naturally with her mother and sister by her side after about 31 hours of labor. “The beautiful baby boy and his mother are doing wonderful,” she shares. TMZ is also reporting that Nas was indeed there for the birth, even though rumors are indicting that he wasn’t.
Kelis and Nas had been married for more than four years when they announced their separation in April. Citing irreconcilable differences in her divorce papers, Kelis seeks spousal support and child support in addition to seeking the joint legal and physical custody of their not-yet-born son.
Knight is the first child for Kelis and the second for Nas, who has a 15-year-old daughter, Destiny, from a previous relationship.

More info just came out this week about the ongoing Nas and Kelis divorce proceedings. According to TMZ sources:
Kelis filed for divorce April 30. She’s weeks from giving birth and unable to work, but no matter to Nas — he’s asking the judge to deny her the spousal support she’s seeking. For bad measure, he also wants her to pay her own lawyer’s fees.
Nas and Kelis both want joint custody of their unborn child.
Kelis cites “irreconcilable differences” for the divorce and word is she believes he was cheating on her. But other rumors indicate that Kelis’ rumored sex tape was the beginning of the end for the couple.
MICHAEL VICK BACK HOME
Former NFL star Michael Vick was released from a federal penitentiary in Kansas Wednesday after serving 18 months for his role in a dogfighting operation.
According to authorities Vick, a former NFL star athlete, will serve the rest of his sentence at his home in Virginia (2 months). NFL sources say they will only reinstate the star athlete if he displays truthful remorse.
“Michael is going to have to demonstrate to myself and the general public and to a lot of people, did he learn anything from this experience? Does he regret what happened?” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said prior to Vick’s release.
