NBA YoungBoy welcomes 13th child with wife Jazlyn Mychelle after challenging year

NBA YoungBoy has welcomed his 13th child, celebrating the arrival of a baby girl with his wife Jazlyn Mychelle.

The rapper, whose real name is Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, shared the news via his Instagram Story. In a video post, he confirmed that Jazlyn had given birth on February 22, while she expressed relief after the delivery.

The newborn marks the couple’s third child together. They previously welcomed daughter Alice Nora in 2021 and son Klemenza Tru in 2022. With this latest addition, the 26-year-old artist is now a father of 13, including children from previous relationships.

The birth follows a difficult period for the couple. In December 2025, unverified social media claims alleged that Gigi Alayah, who was previously linked to Kai Cenat, had been involved with the rapper and was expecting his child. The allegations were denied by all parties, with NBA YoungBoy stating he had no contact with her, while Gigi also dismissed the rumors as false.

Throughout the controversy, Jazlyn publicly stood by her husband, reinforcing their relationship during a period of online scrutiny.

The couple, who began dating in 2020, kept much of their relationship private before getting engaged in 2022. They later married on January 7, 2023, in Utah. Jazlyn, a content creator and lifestyle vlogger, has also collaborated with the rapper professionally, appearing in his music projects and online content.

The pregnancy was first revealed through lyrics in his 2025 track “If You Need Me” from the album Make America Slime Again. The couple has not yet announced the name of their newborn daughter.
