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!
