Braxton Mints a Baby Boy
The R&B diva, a six-time Grammy winner known for such hits as "Un-Break My Heart," "You're Makin' Me High" and "Just Another Sad Love Song," delivered a baby boy Sunday in Atlanta, according to spokesman David Brokaw.
Mom, who turned heads in her barely there Grammy gown in March and is working on a clothes line of her own, gave the kid something of a fashionable name--Denim Cole Braxton Lewis.
Denim, who checked in at 5 pounds, 12 ounces and 19 inches long, is the first child for Braxton, 33, and Lewis, 31.
"Mom and baby are doing fine," says Brokaw.
Braxton met Lewis four years ago during, of all things, a Kenny G tour.
The Minneapolis-based Mint Condition served as her backing band when she opened for the G-meister during his 1997 North American tour.
They married in April.
Braxton shot to fame with the single "Love Shoulda Brought You Home" off the Boomerang soundtrack in 1992. A year later, she released her critically acclaimed self-titled debut disc, which topped the charts and went platinum. She followed that up in '96 with the smash Secrets. But a not-so funny thing happened to her on the way to becoming the next Whitney: Her career was derailed after a series of bad business investments forced her to file for bankruptcy.
She managed to straighten out her finances and resume her career, inking a $20 million recording contract and scoring another huge hit with 2000's Grammy-winning The Heat. She also made her acting debut in the family comedy Kingdom Come, released in April.
In addition to Denim, Braxton and Lewis have collaborated on another project--the recently released Christmas album Snowflakes.
