Cori Broadus, the 25-year-old daughter of iconic rapper Snoop Dogg, is preparing to welcome her first child—a baby girl—with fiancé Wayne “Duece” Polk. The couple shared the joyous news on Instagram on December 23, sparking excitement among fans and family alike.
“My mom and dad were so excited, their baby girl is having a baby,” Broadus told E! News. However, she humorously added, “My dad was hoping for a grandson, though.” This marks the eighth grandchild for Snoop Dogg and his wife, Shante Broadus.
An Unexpected Blessing
Broadus revealed she learned about her pregnancy on October 28, calling the experience “so unplanned” but “a blessing.” Despite her lupus diagnosis, which categorizes her pregnancy as high risk, she assured fans that both she and her baby are doing well.
On social media, Wayne Duece expressed his enthusiasm, writing, “Girl dad 💗 can’t wait to meet you baby girl,” alongside a photo of his hand resting on Broadus’ stomach. Broadus, equally thrilled, posted, “Omg, I still feel like I’m dreaming… I’m really about to have a mini-me!”
Reflecting on her own upbringing, Broadus expressed her desire to raise her daughter with a strong sense of self-worth. “Growing up, I wasn’t the most confident and never felt like I fit in,” she shared. “I want to make my daughter feel like she’s the prettiest in the world.”
A Family Celebration
Although Snoop Dogg has not directly commented on the pregnancy, he posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, expressing gratitude for “the gift of life” during the holiday season.
Broadus and Duece, who recently concluded their reality series Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne’s Story, have been open about their journey. In the show, which aired earlier this month, the couple postponed their wedding, demonstrating their commitment to taking life’s big steps on their own timeline.
With their baby girl on the way, Broadus and Duece are excited to embark on this new chapter. As Broadus put it, “We are soooooo blessed.” Fans eagerly await updates as the couple prepares to welcome their little one.
