Welcomes Baby; Silent Regarding Baby Daughter

Tika Sumpter, also a television host who began her career hosting Best Friend's Date, is a proud mother, who is already blessed with a baby girl. She first announced her pregnancy back in August 2016.

While she was promoting Southside with John Legend, she finally opened up about her bundle of joy. A source close to the actress shone a light on the matter, revealing that she was due to give birth on the fall of that year.

During the time of birth of her first baby, Tika, now at the age of 38, faced pregnancy complications and even had pre-eclampsia. The actress was also told she could either have a seizure of bleed out.

But luckily, all went well and she welcomed her baby girl, Ella-Loren into the world on 8th October 2016. She even took it to Twitter to appreciate all the parents out there after having an eye-opening experience as a first-time mother. She wrote,

"Dear Moms, dads and caretakers. I'm slow clapping for each and every one of you. It ain't no joke."

However, she failed to mention about the presence of her baby father even in her happiest days. It seems that she has given all to keep her love life and baby daddy totally low-profile to the media.

Tika divulged that prior to popping the question, she went on a little hunt in the house that had an awkward ending. She explained to Brides Magazine,

"He did all of these amazing things. I went on a little hunt in the house. And I was like, 'Oh, he's going to propose. But then the scavenger hunt ended unexpectedly. And it was a Peloton bike he bought me." 

Laughing at the awkwardness she said, "I was like, 'Oh, that's cool!'" but Nick had something better planned for her. Her boyfriend-turned-fiance pulled out a letter from behind their daughter and said "Ella has something to say to you."

Turns out the letter from her soon to be husband was filled with love and at the end of it, he finally popped the question to her.
