Blueface has a three-year-old son named Javaughn J. Porter with his ex-girlfriend Javaughn J. Porter. He is currently expecting a baby with Chrisean who is 24 weeks pregnant.
In May, she shared a video of herself undergoing an ultrasound with the long caption that she needed to “pray away the fear of motherhood.”
“I’m currently documenting with @thezeusnetwork and it’s super overwhelming because this pregnancy was planned but now he sees no future with me,” she wrote.
She added: “We both did things to each other that lost trust, so my only option was to break off. I was surprised that I’ve come so far that there’s no turning back from being a mother. I fell in love as soon as I saw the face and heard the heart beating.’
She went on to say that she’s dealing with “heartbreak” and doesn’t feel like having a mother is going to stop her from “making money.”
