The R&B singer revealed on Instagram today (Aug. 21) that she’s recently given birth to their child. Ashanti posted a picture and video showing off her postpartum body and captioned the upload,

“Funny how life’s plans aren’t…always on time.. lol. I’ve been waiting to be a mom for a long time now but nothing could prepare me for EVERYTHING motherhood brings! This is what postpartum looks like…”

In the video, she added that she’s “four weeks postpartum.”

A rep shared more details on the exciting news with PEOPLE, revealing,
