Da Brat Reveals Pregnancy Cravings, Baby’s Gender and IVF Troubles at Season 3 Premiere of ‘Brat Loves Judy’

Rap Star Da Brat and her wife, entrepreneur Jesseca Harris-Dupart a.k.a. Judy are back for the third season of their hit realty TV show Brat Loves Judy. The married couple return to WE tv for another season of love and drama but this time, they’re bringing along a plus one.

The Atlanta rapper announced her pregnancy back in February, shocking fans everywhere when the news hit. This is Brat’s first child with Judy, who has three children from previous relationships. The couple confirmed they will be having a boy!

While Brat and Judy’s pregnancy announcement initially took the internet by surprise, the response was mostly positive. Outpours of congratulations flooded the comments under the announcement. TV producer Mona-Scott Young, Xscape member Tamika Scott and actress Naturi Naughton are just a few of the many celebs that showed support for the couple.

Between an exclusive PEOPLE Magazine feature, morning talk show appearances and a special collaboration with Judy’s hair line Kaleidoscope Hair Products, the smitten pair have been on cloud 9. But the road to happiness hasn’t been easy for Brat and Judy.

At the season three premiere of Brat Love Judy in Atlanta on Thursday, fans were graced with an early screening of the first episode which shows Brat and Judy’s IVF process at Atlanta-based fertility clinic Hope Fertility.

It’s revealed that the couple suffered a miscarriage after the first round of IVF. Luckily, that didn’t stop them from trying again. Now, they are teaming up with Hope Fertility to give away a $10,000 grant to a lucky winner who would like to start IVF.

We all know Da Brat from her wild days as hip-hop royalty but what’s she like as a mom?

Now in her third trimester with about 11 weeks left, the rapper says she just wants to sit back and relax while eating her current obsession: Harold’s fried chicken wings.

The new season of Brat Loves Judy is now available to watch on Thursdays at 9 PM EST on WE tv.

Exclusive: Da Brat and BB Judy Talk WeTV’s ‘Brat Loves Judy’

Grammy Award-nominated hip hop icon and actress Da Brat has found love with haircare mogul and entrepreneur Jesseca “Judy” Dupart, and the couple is sharing their love and journey on the new WeTV reality series Brat Loves Judy. The couple recently spoke to The Knockturnal about their relationship and sharing their love with the world and how they make each other better.

After coming out as a member of the LQBTQ community, Da Brat and Judy publicly appeared together on WeTV’s hit reality series Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta. Speaking on what drew them together Da Brat spoke about being drawn to Judy after seeing her on social media, while Judy interjected, “She came to visit me on one of my [educational] tour stops, and then she was like we should hang later and from there I was like okay,” Da Brat replied to Judy saying, “She just don’t wanna say she had a crush on me her whole life,”.

While dating a massive superstar might seem intimidating, and the possibility might seem out of reach, Judy said,” She surprised me she opened the door because she was very friendly,”.Once getting past the challenge of matching with a celebrity there is also the subsequent challenge of the relationship being under the microscope of the public eye. Both ladies stressed that the importance of communication is key especially giving the circumstance of being in the public eye.”Being on a public platform and being all over the internet people are gonna say things. So as long as you are communicating and open with your significant other, there should be nothing that can be said that can get in between ya’ll because ya’ll have been very honest with each other,” Judy said

A relationship where the partnership can help make one another better is ideal. “For me, I’m a person that gives people a whole bunch of different chances and being in a relationship with her seeing how she isn’t the kind of person who gives people three, four and five chances, she’s helped me be a little more stern in handling business which is actually great.” Judy said. ” And she’s helped me not be so stern,” Brat interjected. “She’s softened me up a little bit and I hardened her up a little bit,” Brat added

Da Brat said, “We want people to take away that in success and love you can be great as long as you communicate and trust each other and let go of all insecurities, be vulnerable if you have to, and live in your truth.” Brat Loves Judy airs Thursdays at 9 PM on WeTV.

The play brings together Greta (Golden Globe nominee Marilu Henner), a longtime ACLU donor on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and Tanner (Emmy nominee Shannon Purser), the young representative sent to secure a substantial contribution. While initially united by progressive values, their conversation quickly exposes a widening generational and ideological rift.

Henner and Purser deliver performances that keep an ideological debate grounded in recognizable human emotion.
