Nessa and Colin Kaepernick [1] are basking in their new roles as parents after the birth of their first child [2]. On Aug. 28, new mom Nessa stepped out for her first public appearance at the 2022 MTV VMAs [3] since welcoming her baby, as she served as a cohost for the ceremony's preshow. During the event, the radio and TV personality interviewed DJ Khaled [4] about his new album, "God Did," but not before the famed producer happily congratulated her on becoming a mom.
"That is your biggest blessing," he told her Sunday night. "Your world's going to change, your life's going to change." As a fellow parent, Nessa asked the father of two for his best piece of advice, to which he said, ". . . it's not about you no more — it's about your kids. And guess what, your kids is you, and God got you."
J Balvin [5] also congratulated Nessa on her baby at the VMAs and gave her a fair warning that she's in for some sleepless nights with her newborn. "Will I ever get a good night of sleep?" the host asked Balvin, who welcomed his first child [6] with girlfriend Valentina Ferrer in June 2021. "I don't think so," he joked. "That's why I'm wearing glasses. I don't want to show what's going on with my eyes right now."
Ahead of her VMAs appearance, Nessa announced that she gave birth to her and Kaepernick's child a few weeks ago and posted a sweet photo of the family of three on Instagram [7]. "I thought long and hard about sharing our life changing news today. I decided to do so because today is the first day in a few weeks where I stepped out for work with a new life title - MOM!" she captioned her post. ". . . My world has gotten that much bigger thanks to our sweet little baby who has shown me how to love in ways I never knew. Thank you everyone for your support as always."
