InstagramCongratulations are in order for Chad Johnson and Crystal Bates!
The longtime loves welcomed their first child together Tuesday, with the Montreal Alouettes wide receiver announcing the news on Twitter. "New Infantry arrived at 8:34: Kennedi Chanel Johnson, 7 pounds 6 ounces to the sound of Frankie Beverly & Maze...," the former NFL player told his followers.
In a series of follow-up tweets, Johnson wrote, "Literally had Frank Beverly & Maze blasting during delivery which seems to be a first for all parties involved... Been looking for infant Louboutin's & Margiela's for 9 months w/ no luck, not taking pictures until all her shoes are reminiscent of me..."
He later tweeted, "Look how cool life is, Kennedi born this morning, headed to take & train Baby Cha'iel at track practice then pick up @jicyraa_carter at 1." In another tweet, the athlete asked, "Thoughts on purchasing a Sprinter for the squad for all the summer activities? Those of you who are parents?"
Johnson, who once went by the surname Ochocinco, has four more kids: Jicyra, Chad Johnson II, Chade and Cha'ie. "When your suppose to b at the hospital with your new born sister but your at school," Jicyra tweeted along with cry-face emojis. After her dad tweeted about Kennedi's birth, she retweeted him and added, "Turn up."
Congratulations to the happy family!
