There has been cause for both celebrations and tears for Juelz Santana and Kimbella. In January, the two finally tied the knot after a decade long, on-again-off-again relationship. Meanwhile, Santana's court drama has been played out for Love & Hip Hop New York fans as he was convicted on weapons charges and recently began his 27-month prison sentence. The pair have been preparing their family for Santana to leave his household and they've openly spoken about how difficult it's been on their relationship. Yet, on tonight's LHHHNY reunion special, the happy couple revealed that they are expecting their third child together.

Kimbella wanted to wait until the reunion aired before confirming the news on social media, but she pretty much spilled the beans on Twitter when she wrote, "Tune in tonight for the LHHNY Reunion part 1 @ 8pm, I’ve got a special surprise that I can’t wait to share with you all!! 🤗🥰" On the reunion, host Nina Parker commented to Kimbella about how she beautiful she looked, and that's when Kimbella stood up, unbuttoned her blazer, smiled from ear-to-ear, and rubbed her belly a la Beyoncé at the 2011 MTV VMAs.

The couple didn't officially announce if they were having a girl or a boy, but Kimbella did refer to the baby as a "he." Immediately after the reunion special aired, Kimbella shared her six-month pregnant baby belly to the world on Instagram. "Super comfy in my @fashionnova fit at 6 months pregnant!," she wrote. "I couldn’t wait to share with you guys!!
