Tori Kelly and her husband, André Murillo, revealed the birth of their first baby on Tuesday. Kelly, a gospel singer, rose to fame after being discovered by Scooter Braun through her YouTube videos, where she shared covers and original music. Kelly and her husband, a German basketball player, announced her pregnancy to People in July. The couple started dating in 2016 and were engaged the next year. They held a private wedding in May 2018, the singer describing the nuptials as “the most magical day ever.” After Kelly released her latest album Tori, she opened up about being hospitalized for life-threatening blood clots. During the time of the album’s release, she was on the road to recovery and felt “amazing.” “I don’t want to take anything for granted… I’m just holding people a little closer,” she reflected. Kelly later joined Ed Sheeran on the 2025 European leg of his “+-=÷×” Tour. During her announcement of her recent baby news, she said, “This year has already been full of highs.” In a joint Instagram post, the singer and her husband shared a glimpse of their newborn son, Zayden Michael Murillo. “We love you so much, sweet boy,” the caption read.
