Comedian and actor Michael Blackson is celebrating the arrival of his newborn son with fiancée Rada Darling. Blackson shared the news on Instagram with an adorable video of the baby, humorously captioning it, “Happiest day of my life and no DNA needed lol. Meet lil Mikey.”
A Growing Family
The couple announced their pregnancy earlier this year, with Rada playfully revealing her growing bump in February. "My stomach kept growing, I thought it was weight gain…No, I’ve confirmed 7 times that it’s not a food baby that I’m carrying," she joked. "We both are ecstatic…we can’t wait to meet our little miracle."
In May, they hosted an elegant baby shower with friends and family. Rada expressed gratitude for the support, writing, "There are no words to describe the thankfulness I feel from the bottom of my heart. It’s great to know that baby Blackson will come into this world surrounded by love.”
Father of Four
With the arrival of “Lil Mikey,” Blackson is now a father of four. He also has an older son, Michael Jr., 26, and 17-year-old twins Niko and Noah from previous relationships.
Relationship Milestones
Blackson and Rada have been engaged since July 2021 but aren't rushing into marriage. "Sometimes you need more time," Blackson said in 2023. "You want to be really, really set with everything before you make that step." He proposed to Darling live on air during an interview with The Breakfast Club, bringing her into the studio to meet the hosts.
Fans and fellow celebrities are sending their congratulations to the happy couple on social media. Many are commenting on Blackson's softer side as he embraces fatherhood.
