It was a blessed Sunday for Fantasia Barrino and her husband, Kendall Taylor, as the couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Keziah London Taylor.

The "American Idol" season 3 champion posted an Instagram photo of herself while pregnant standing in front of an elephant.

“The elephant is the animal I chose to surround @keziahlondontaylor with because it represents patience, strength, power, and remembrance," she wrote, explaining the animal's significance. “Just a few of the qualities that her presence has brought into our lives and their world."

“We were patient waiting on you to enter this world and we will always remember the strength that it took for me and @salute1st to create something as powerful as your life itself,” Barrino continued. “Happy Birthday to our little Angel 5-23-21 and may God keep and cover you for the rest of your days!”

For Taylor, Keziah's birth was a very special moment for him to witness, and he praised his wife.

“Today I experienced something that rewrote my personal definition of a Black Woman,” he wrote on Instagram. “To observe my Queen @tasiasword bring my little Angel @keziahlondontaylor into this world elevated my understanding and sense of pride, respect, and admiration for black women...Happy Birthday to my little Kezzy Bear!”

Barrino has two children from previous relationships: a daughter named Zion, born in 2001, and a son named Dallas, born in 2011.

The "I Believe" singer married Taylor in July 2015.
