How did Da Brat and Judy decide to start a family?

The couple's journey toward parenthood began shortly after they exchanged vows on February 2, 2022. Brat said, "It started as a joke, we were like, 'We're extending our family!' But then we got a huge response," according to People.

Brat added, "It was like, 'Oh my God do we want to actually have kids, and if we do, girl, we better hurry up!'" Unlike Brat, who will be giving birth for the first time after experiencing a miscarriage, Judy is a mother of three. The couple, who selected an unnamed donor from their cryo bank who was characterized as "an eager entrepreneur," is currently 18 weeks pregnant, according to People.

Having entered the second trimester, Brat said, "It's just a blessing. I'm excited! I don't have any cravings or nausea but I'm always sleepy. It's crazy!" Brat has also been caught off guard by another aspect of pregnancy, as she shared, "Everything makes me cry. If someone wins American Idol, I cry. I'm like, I'm tougher than that!"
