Kerry Washington Gives Birth To A Boy

Earlier this year, actress Kerry Washington addressed the ongoing rumours that her marriage to sporting ace Nigerian Nnamdi was in trouble, making it clear she has no interest in speaking about her personal life.

Kerry Washington has given birth to a boy. This is the second child for the 39-year-old and her husband Nnamdi Asomugha.

According to E! News, the couple's son - who was born on October 5 - has been named Caleb Kelechi, which means "devotion to God" in Hebrew.

Kerry, who also shares two-year-old daughter Isabelle Amarachi with her partner, revealed she was pregnant in May when she showed off a bump at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington, DC.

The notoriously private couple secretly tied the knot in 2013 in Hailey, Idaho. They welcomed their first child at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre a year later, however both Kerry and Nnamdi managed to keep news of her arrival a secret for 11 days.

The American star previously admitted that she felt that motherhood allowed her to focus on "being the best version" of herself.

"I've been really focused on not being 'back' to anything, but being the best version of myself right now," she told Self Magazine. "My body is the site of a miracle now. I don't want to be pre-miracle."
