Last month The National Enquirer claimed musical legend Stevie Wonder, 64, and his fiancée Tomeekah Robyn Bracy, 40, were expecting triplets.And while the Superstition hitmaker, who already has eight children, is yet to officially address the news,
a fresh report from the New York Post’s Page Six has revealed the Grammy Award-winning artist is overjoyed with the impending arrival and has vouched to be a more present father.
‘It’s Stevie’s mechanism for his happiness,’ an insider told The Post.
‘He knows that being a father is a full-time job and now that he’s a little older, he feels like he’s up to the task and he doesn’t want to let any of them down.’
The couple reportedly already have a daughter together. ‘Stevie and Tomeeka had their first child together last year. I know because I attended the baby shower’ an insider recently told The National Enquirer.
Late last month Tomeekah beamed with delight on a stroll in LA with ‘their secret daughter’, showing off her blossoming baby bump.
The expectant mother flashed her diamond engagement ring while clad in a blue-and-grey striped dress.
The music legend – born Stevland Judkins – moved into Tomeeka’s modest LA home following his costly divorce in 2012.
‘Stevie never thought he’d be a father again so late in life. It may not have been planned but now he’s excited!’ the source continued.
‘He’s been going to all the doctor’s visits and scans with Tomeeka. He actually can’t wait until the birth. Stevie missed so much of his other children’s upbringings, he’s vowed to be there for their children and for his soon-to-be new wife.’
The 22-time Grammy winner’s ex-wife Kai Millard Morris received a chunk of his $110 million fortune as well as spousal and child support for their sons – Kailand, 13, and Mandla, 9.
Stevie’s 11-year marriage to the fashion designer reportedly ended due to her suspicions the former child prodigy was cheating.
‘Stevie’s been a star since he was a teen and women have thrown themselves at him for years,’ a source said.
Wonder will soon become a father-of-11, having also sired five children from previous relationships, including former secretary Yolanda Simmons.
The My Cherie Amour hitmaker was previously married to Motown singer Syreeta Wright from 1970 until their amicable divorce in 1972.
Meanwhile, Bracy is hoping for a boy after her two-year-old son Izaiah fell to his death from the window of her third-story apartment in 2004.
‘Tomeeka has two other children, daughters Bri Sche’ Milan and Kenaya Tare’ Fair,’ the insider revealed.
‘But Izaiah was her only son. Now she’s hoping for one with Stevie.’
The Isn’t She Lovely singer will kick off his 11-date tour – in which he performs his 1976 album Songs In The Key Of Life – on November 6 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
