Tori Kelly Expecting First Baby

Tori Kelly Announces She's Expecting First Baby Amid Thriving Music Career

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and LF Radio Tori Kelly and her husband, former professional basketball player André Murillo, joyously revealed they are expecting their first child together. The couple shared the happy news via a heartfelt Instagram and YouTube video titled “let’s make a…”, featuring intimate home and beach footage punctuated by a snippet of Kelly’s new, unreleased song—culminating in the line, “I’m ready for what comes next / Let’s make a baby,” as she lovingly caresses her baby bump.

A Milestone Year for Kelly

In a wide-ranging interview with People, Kelly, 32, reflected on the momentous year she’s had: “Performing in stadiums all summer, writing the most personal songs of my career, and now getting to start a family with my amazing husband. This year has already been full of highs… we are just so grateful for what’s to come and can’t wait to meet this little gift from God.”

Health Triumphs and Renewed Inspiration

Her upcoming parenthood follows her full recovery from a life-threatening health scare in July 2023, when she was hospitalized with blood clots in her legs and lungs—a battle she fought thanks to devoted medical care and her husband’s unwavering support. Reflecting on the experience, Kelly shared: “When I look at life… I don’t want to take anything for granted… life is so fragile. I’m just holding people a little closer."

Recent Music Breakthroughs

Kelly released her fifth studio album, TORI., on April 5, 2024, under Epic and Beautiful Mind Records. The R&B/pop record, teeming with Y2K-inspired beats, features singles like “Missin U”, “Cut”, “Young Gun”, and the poignant lead single “High Water,” the latter written in the wake of her health scare. You can hear her song, "High Water," streaming now on LF Radio. 

On Tour with Ed Sheeran

Currently, Kelly is supporting Ed Sheeran as the opening act on his European stadium tour. Fans have been treated to live performances of her new music, including the previously unreleased track featured in her pregnancy announcement video. Her tour presence continues to resonate with sold-out shows and raves for her powerful vocals and stage presence.
