It looks like Bishop T.D. Jakes is going to be a grandfather again!
His daughter, author and motivational speaker Sarah Jakes Roberts and her new husband, Pastor Touré Roberts are expecting their first child together. On Sunday they shared their baby news with Roberts’ congregation at One Church LA where Jakes Roberts regularly speaks to the crowd of over 5,000.
The Roberts tied the knot in November of 2014 after meeting in the spring. This is the second marriage for both and together they have five beautiful children from previous relationships. Baby will make six. The Christian couple, who recently spoke about identifying a soul mate at ESSENCE Festival 2015’s Empower U, could not be happier about adding to their brood.
“For Touré and I, having a child together is the organic overflow of the love that we have been so blessed to share,” the mom-to-be tells ESSENCE. When I initially found out that I was pregnant, I was overwhelmed with surprise, excitement, and joy. Each of our children offer a special flavor to the blend that is our family. While we are ecstatic to know that our baby will represent a piece of each of us, we look forward to the unique individuality and impact our new addition is sure to bring to our family.”
The Roberts presently reside in Los Angeles.
