Ruben Studdard and Pregnant Wife Kristin Dress to Impress in New Maternity Photos as They Await Baby No. 2

Ruben Studdard and wife Kristin Moore-Studdard are getting closer to meeting their new baby on the way.

The American Idol alum, 45, shared a carousel of new maternity photos on Instagram earlier this month, showing Ruben and his pregnant wife all dressed up as the expectant mom cradles her baby bump in a rust-colored gown.

“Celebration of Life, Love and New Beginnings,” the singer wrote. “We can’t wait to welcome the newest addition to Team Studdard. @kristin_studdard I love you darling!!!”

In the first snap, Kristin wears a long gown while caressing her bump. She and husband Ruben, who revealed in November that they are expecting their second baby together, also flash beaming smiles as they hold each other's hands.

Another sweet photo shows Ruben planting a kiss on his wife’s cheek as the pair closes their eyes.

“Congratulations!!!,” Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss commented, while Lil Mama added, ‘Congratulations for 2024’‼️‼️‼️‼️”

“OUR LOVE 🤎✨#maternityphotography #maternity," Kristin shared as she reposted the photos on her Instagram page and tagged makeup artist Hay Beauty.

In December, the entrepreneur shared another snap of her cradling her bump while wearing a sparkling silver dress.

“Tis the season to sparkle 🪩🤍💄: @iamjaybeats_ 👗: @nadinemerabi 📸: @thedavenportdesign #christmas #christmastree,” her caption read.

The couple revealed their exciting baby news in November with a video of their son Olivier, 3, wearing a “BIG BRO” sweatshirt while waving excitedly to the camera.

 “Soon to be a family of four 2024,” a wooden block read alongside a baby onesie that featured the words, “Baby Studdard.” A baby scan was also placed on display.
