On 21 November 2018, Avril gave fans a first look at her baby after keeping the pregnancy largely out of the public eye. The singer had previously denied being pregnant, even as speculation continued online.
When she eventually revealed the pregnancy, she also shared photos from a baby bump shoot, but she had still kept key details private, including the child’s gender. There had been hints that the baby was a boy, though she did not confirm that in the material provided.
Avril has also spoken about the struggle to conceive. She said fibroids were part of the challenge and that doctors believed they may have been one reason it took longer for her to get pregnant.

She has not publicly identified the baby’s father, despite online rumours linking J Blessing to the child. The latest reveal marked the first time she showed the baby’s face to the public.
