Brian McKnight and Wife Leilani Welcome Baby Boy
Brian McKnight and his wife Leilani have added another addition to their family—son Brian Kainoa Makoa McKnight. The “Back at One” singer and his spouse made the announcement through a joint statement on Instagram. The caption reads:
“‘For this child we have prayed and the Lord has granted us the desires of our hearts’ 1 Samuel 1:27 God’s greatest gift, our son is here!!!” the pair wrote alongside a photo of McKnight and Leilani making a heart with their hands around the infant’s hand.
“🤍 Brian Kainoa Makoa McKnight 🤍 We are so in love!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ #iloveourlife #mylegacy #blessed #ohana #son #mrandmrsmcknight #knightandlei,” they added.
The couple is already parents to son Jack and daughter Julia. McKnight is also father to sons Brian Jr. and Niko with ex-wife Julie McKnight — whom he was married to from 1990 to 2003 — and daughter Briana McKnight from a previous relationship.
In November, Brian shared that he and his wife were expecting a baby boy after recently experiencing a pregnancy loss. He stated that Lelani was the “greatest example of being a mother” while noting that Kekoa Matteo’s (the baby boy they lost) due date was Mother’s Day.
Congratulations to the happy family!
