Renowned R&B artist KEM is making headlines, but this time it’s not his music that’s in the spotlight.

The “Love Always Wins” singer and his wife, Erica Owens, are joyfully anticipating the arrival of their eighth child, a piece of news they chose to share exclusively with People.

This upcoming addition marks the fifth child for KEM and Erica together. KEM also has two daughters from a previous relationship, and Erica has a daughter from before their marriage.

In an interview with People Magazine, KEM expressed the profound joy fatherhood brings him, saying, “Being a husband and a father continues to be the greatest blessing of my life.”

Erica echoed his sentiments, sharing her own perspective: “Motherhood has been such a meaningful journey for me, and I’m grateful.”

If you follow his career, this isn’t surprising. His music has always leaned into love, faith, and personal growth. Fans often say that KEM’s songs feel like they’re written from the heart, and apparently, the same spirit shows up in how he looks at family. 

The couple tied the knot in 2019, and you get the sense that this next chapter feels really intentional to both of them.

KEM told the outlet, “Erica and I are looking forward to welcoming another little miracle into our growing family.” 

Erica added her own excitement, saying, “My husband and I are excited for this next chapter. Our family is already full of love for this little blessing.”

The couple hasn’t revealed a due date or the baby’s gender just yet. But knowing KEM, fans wouldn’t be surprised if this new arrival inspires a song or two. Until then, the wait is officially on to meet the newest member of the family.
