Evelyn Lozada is a grandmother — and just let Us in on some big family news! Her daughter Shaniece Hairston welcomed a baby boy with The Game.
The Basketball Wives personality posted a sweet photo of her newest family addition on Friday, December 6.
Lozada, 48, expressed her feelings about becoming a grandmother in a heartfelt caption accompanying a photo that was tagged with her daughter and the rapper. She stated, “This little blue-eyed angel made me a grandma, and I’m forever grateful! 🥹❤️You’ve brought so much joy into my life that words can’t even explain. I love you more than anything, Blaze Taylor! 🍼✨ #GrandmaLove #ForeverGrateful #BlazeTaylor.”
The photo was initially shared on Instagram by the rapper The Game (real name Jayceon Terrell Taylor), with a touching caption dedicated to his son. The 45-year-old artist wrote, “Beautiful baby boy overload. ‘Blaze Taylor’ I love you son.”
Lozada’s daughter gave birth to the baby boy in October, while The Game had previously welcomed son King in April 2007 and daughter Cali in August 2010 with Tiffney Cambridge. His eldest child is 21-year-old son Harlem.
Hairston, 31, a content creator and yoga instructor, announced her family update to the world during a November interview with Life & Style magazine.
In the interview, she opened up about her journey through new motherhood, and bonding with her new son.
“I do not wanna leave him. I obviously make it to the gym or I’ve been making it to the gym, but that’s good for me, you know, and to come back to him,” she told the outlet. “But just major bonding, major skin to skin. If I leave him with my mom and I go to the gym, I’m like, ‘Is he OK? Did he eat? Did he sleep? Is he sleeping?’ … They tell you it’s like a love that you can’t describe and a journey.”
For her part, Lozada made news this year for her discussion around coparenting with former MLB player Carl Crawford.
“I think sometimes people don’t understand my relationship with him,” Lozada told Us Weekly exclusively in July. “They may think something’s going on, but we are just generally good friends. … It’s really about just having a healthy coparenting relationship.”
Lozada and Crawford share a 10-year-old son, Leo. (Lozada shares Shaniece with ex Jamal Hairston.)
“We just make it work,” she told Us. “We don’t have any drama. It’s damn near perfect to be honest. I value that because I think for Leo, to see me and his dad have a great relationship and I can go to dinner with him and Leo, it’s just us sharing time and space with him. I think it’s beneficial for him.”
