Da Brat and her wife, Jesseca «Judy» Harris-Dupart, are making their duo a trio! The rapper and Dupart are expecting their first child together. «It's been quite a journey,» Da Brat told  on Tuesday, admitting that at 48, «there's a lot of stuff we learned about women over the age of 40.»The rapper shared that she hadn't factored having children into her plans.

Dupart is already a mother of three, but this pregnancy is Da Brat's first. «I never thought I was going to have kids. I just thought it wasn't in the cards for me,» she reveals to the outlet. «I've had a great career, a full life.

I felt like, because I didn't get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn't going to happen for me.»Her relationship with Dupart, CEO of Kaleidoscope Hair Products, caused her to start «looking at life so differently,» and inspired the rapper to start family planning.

Still, Da Brat wasn't keen on the idea of carrying a child and it took Dupart to convince her otherwise. «We had a little tug-o-war in the beginning…but I felt like she should have the experience,» the entrepreneur tells . «She is so nurturing.»The road to pregnancy was a rocky one, though, with the couple revealing that Dupart suffered «major health complications» after her egg retrieval procedure and Da Brat also had to undergo surgery to remove fibroids and polyps prior to her embryo transfer procedure, and subsequently, a miscarriage.«I had never been so excited about something that I didn't even know I wanted.
