Kelis has a big reason to celebrate this holiday season.

The singer and food aficionado gave birth to a baby boy last month, only three months after originally announcing her pregnancy, reports E! News. She hasn’t announced the baby’s father.

“Kelis has a healthy baby,” a source recently told E!.

This is the second child for the “Milkshake” singer—she has a 6-year-old son with her ex-hubby, Nas—and from what we’ve seen, she wears motherhood well.

“[Motherhood] enhances you,” she said at the Los Angeles Women’s Expo in October. “I don’t know if it really changes you. I think it just enhances who you already are. It makes the things that you do make sense. You’re more poignant and more focused.”

Congrats, Kelis!
