PEOPLE Magazine landed exclusive rights to the first public photos of David Daniel Otunga Jr., the son of Academy Award-winning crooner Jennifer Hudson and her wrestler fiance David Otunga Sr.
Jennifer is in her first months of motherhood and the “Spotlight” star is opening up about her most precious moments with David Jr — who arrived Aug. 10.
“I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy,” Jennifer tells PEOPLE. “Who better to devote my time to than my own child?”

Julia Hudson — whose 7-year-old son Julian was shot and killed last year — is expecting her second child, Star Magazine reports in its Sept. 21 issue, on newsstands now.
“She’s about four months along,” a family snitch tattles to the tab. “When Julia found out, she called Jennifer right away.”
The sisters have strengthened their bond since losing their mother, Darnell Donnerson, brother Jason Hudson, and Julian in a triple homicide on Chicago’s South Side nearly a year ago. Julia’s estranged husband, William Balfour, is in an Illinois prison awaiting trial in connection with the murders.
“They’re closer than ever,” says the insider. And Jennifer and Julia can’t wait to begin swapping tips on coping with motherhood.
“They know they can never replace Julian, but this new baby has brought the family a lot of joy.”
Oscar and Grammy Award-winning vocalist Jennifer Hudson has been added to the list of previously announced honorees Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Jordin Sparks, and Miley Cyrus who will perform when VH1 Divas Live — hosted by Paula Abdul — returns Sept. 17 @ 9 PM ET.
Jennifer Hudson never confirmed reports that she was pregnant, but new reports claim the award-winning actress-singer gave birth to a healthy baby boy, named David Daniel Otunga, Jr. late Monday.
Weighing in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces, Little David is the first child for Jennifer and her wrestler fiance, David Sr., who once appeared on the VH1 reality series I Love New York 2.
