Bahati on Wednesday posted photos of the new baby on Instagram quelling speculation on whether his wife, Diana, was actually expectant.

The two love birds cancelled a wedding a few months ago after realising Diana was pregnant.

"We were expecting wedding bells. Instead, we have a baby coming. And as Bahati and Diana sing ‘hallelujah’ ahead of the new bundle of joy, critics are at it again and some fans are dumbfounded," Bahati said four months ago after the cancellation of the wedding.

"Who expected the chic to come before the egg after all? I have been a dad before but (I am) still learning. The family is growing."

It might seem that the two took a shortcut into beginning a family probably due to financial shortcomings that come with weddings.

"Every lady wants a wedding and that is what Diana was looking forward to, but with the pregnancy and the responsibilities piling up, it makes sense to wait,” one of Diana’s close friends said after they put off wedding plans.

The new baby is called Heaven Bahati.
