Da Brat is pregnant with her first child. She revealed to PEOPLE she and her wife Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart, are expecting their first child.
“It’s been quite a journey,” Brat said. “There’s a lot of stuff we learned about women over the age of 40.”
Harris-Dupart has three children from a previous relationship. Brat, however, always thought kids wouldn’t be part of her life path.
“I never thought I was going to have kids,” she said. “I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me. I’ve had a great career, a full life. I felt like, because I didn’t get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn’t going to happen for me.”
Brat decided to carry their child after Harris-Dupart suffered health complications following her egg retrieval procedure. Brat also faced health issues. She underwent fibroid removal surgery and polyps developed before her embryo transfer procedure. She then had a miscarriage.
The spouses have an anonymous donor who they say is an “eager entrepreneur.” Brat is in her second trimester and is very excited about the arrival of their new baby.
