Zion Williamson and girlfriend reveal they’re expecting a baby girl

Zion Williamson is going to be a Girl Dad.

The Pelicans star is expecting a baby girl with his girlfriend, who TMZ identified as Ahkeema.

The couple celebrated the exciting news with a gender reveal party at a lavish mansion on June 3, according to her Instagram and a video she posted Tuesday to YouTube.

In the four-minute video, Williamson and Ahkeema can be seen cheering as pink fireworks burst out behind a sign that read, “Boy or Girl.”

“June 3rd I invited all my family and close friends to help us celebrate 🎉 our new addition to our family,” Ahkeema wrote on her Instagram page, which identifies her as a video creator named Rose.

Her YouTube page also states that her name is Rose.

The gender reveal party, which took place in the backyard of the home, featured a chef-prepared dinner, a bar, baby games, and tons of blue and pink desserts.

The couple’s guests dined under white tents with the couple sitting at their own table with a heart-shaped rose centerpiece and a sonogram photo.

They also thanked their guests for attending with goodie bags.

“You’re going to see this at some point,” Williamson said at the beginning of the video. “I don’t know what the future holds, but mommy and daddy love you.

“If you don’t know nothing else in this world, know that mommy and daddy love you for life.”

Ahkeema, who gazed at Williamson said, “Aw, you’re so sweet.”

The former first-round pick also wore a shirt that featured a cheeky message on the back, “I’m here because I don’t want to get yelled at.”

Ahkeema shared a collage of photos from the gender reveal party, where she wore a stunning beige gown before changing into a black dress.

“Thank you 🙏 God for blessing my family with an addition 👶🏽 we will give her unconditional love, guidance, protection & a family we are so grateful for #babywilliamson ♥️💜,” Ahkeema wrote on Instagram.

“Thank you friends,family & staff and of course my aunt who helped me bring my vision together.”

Williamson, who is fairly private about his personal life, did not announce the pregnancy or gender reveal on his social media accounts.

It’s unclear when the 22-year-old Jordan Brand athlete and Ahkeema got together or how they met.

She runs her own real estate business, according to her Instagram.

Williamson has been sidelined since Jan. 2 while recovering from a right hamstring strain.

The former Duke star signed a five-year, $193 million rookie max contract with escalators up to $231 million in July 2022.

He missed the entire 2021-22 season recovering from a surgically repaired right foot fracture.
