Stevie Wonder, 64, Welcomes Baby No. 9! - Closer Weekly

Congratulations are in order for Stevie Wonder!

The R&B icon, 64, has welcomed his ninth child, a baby girl named Nia, with Tomeeka Robyn Bracy, his rep confirmed to ‘US Weekly.’

Stevie is already a father to eight children — who range in age from one to 39 — with five different women. Baby Nia is his second child with Tomeeka, 40, his girlfriend of more than a year.

Stevie performs with his eldest child, daughter Aisha Morris, at the 54th ‘Jazz A Juan’ Festival in July 2014.

While it was previously reported the “Superstition” singer and Tomeeka were expecting triplets, Stevie denied the rumors during a recent appearance on ‘The View.’

“I got, how many, 22 kids?” he joked before clarifying there was only one baby. “It’s not true. The truth is we’re going to have a wonderful daughter, born in December, [and her] name is going to be Nia, which [means] ‘purpose.'”

Stevie has been married twice — to Motown singer Syreeta Wright from 1970 – 1972 and to designer Kai Millard Morris from 2001 – 2012. He has also fathered children with Yolanda Simmons and Melody McCulley.

‘Us Weekly’ first reported this news.
