Stevie Wonder has welcomed his 9th child, a baby girl, with his girlfriend.
The baby is the second child for the 64-year-old singer, who's already proud father to eight kids from previous relationships, with lover Tomeeka Robyn Bracy, and has been named Nia, which means purpose, "one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa," Us magazine reported.
Wonder had confirmed that he was soon to be father again during his appearance on 'The View' last month, and had even joked saying "I got, how many, 22 kids?." It was then only he had revealed plans to name the girl Nia.
The Grammy winner was previously married to Syreeta Wright from 1970 to 1971 and Karen 'Kai' Millard Morris from 2001 until 2012.
