The two announced their engagement in September 2008 and the following year, on August 10, 2009, they welcomed their first child, a son named David Daniel Otunga, Jr. Hudson kept her pregnancy private and she wanted everything to catch the fans by surprise.
They also opted not to reveal the gender of their son until the very last minute.
