Tyrese Welcomes Baby Girl With Wife Samantha Lee
By Sydney Scott · Updated December 6, 2020
Singer Tyrese and his wife Samantha Lee Gibson have welcomed their first child together — a baby girl! In an Instagram post shared Monday, the R&B singer said the couple was “humbled” by the arrival of their daughter, Soraya. “My wife is the real champion. 30 hours of labor I witnessed first hand the strength of a woman,” he wrote in a caption. “Thank you Jesus we are so humbled by your grace and love and favor.”
However, fans expecting a photo of the couple’s daughter may have to wait.

The Fate of the Furious star also gushed about his goals for his newborn, along with thanking fans for their support. “We know our daughter came here to change things,” Tyrese added. “We wanna say thank you and we appreciate your prayers and love… We are both overjoyed with our new angel Soraya Lee Gibson and exhausted! Soraya we are going to love you and protect you till the end of this Earth.” The Gibsons, who wed last year, announced they were expecting back in April, revealing that Samantha had learned she was pregnant in January. Later, the pair revealed their daughter’s name, Soraya, after Samantha penned a heartfelt message to Gibson’s oldest daughter Shayla.
