Rapper The Game and Shaniece Hairston confirmed their relationship and shared the first photo of their baby boy.
The Los Angeles rapper and the model welcomed their son in November this year after months of dating rumors. Last month, Shaniece Hairston confirmed that she welcomed a baby boy but didn’t share the name of her baby daddy. On Friday, she shared a photo of herself and The Game looking cozy on her Instagram Story.
The Game shared an adorable photo of their son named Blaze Taylor on his Instagram feed. “Beautiful baby boy overload,” he wrote. “‘Blaze Taylor’ I love you son.” The confirmation would later come from Hairston’s mother, Evelyn Lozada, who reshared The Game posts confirming that she is now a grandmother.
“This little blue-eyed angel made me a grandma, and I’m forever grateful! You’ve brought so much joy into my life that words can’t even explain,” Lozada wrote. “I love you more than anything, Blaze Taylor! #GrandmaLove #ForeverGrateful #BlazeTaylor.”
The Game and Shaniece Hairston first sparked dating rumors last year when the two were spotted together having dinner together on Christmas Eve. Fast-forward a few months, and The Documentary rapper confirmed that he has a baby on the way. The 45-year-old rapper opened up about being a father again at age 44 and what he anticipates it to be like, given that he is older and wiser now.
“I’m 44. When my new child is 21, I’ll be 65, right? And that seems kinda old, until you start thinking about who’s 65 now,” the West Coast rapper shared. “It’s going to be a different parenting experience than when I was young. When I was young, I was still hardheaded, still in the streets…I don’t know how I even made it to this point in my life doing the things that I was doing, but I made it. My kids are all fine, smart, straight A students and good, so it’ll just be interesting to parent at this age.”
Some fans commented on the age gap between The Game and Shaniece Hairston, saying he is almost the same age as Evelyn Lozada. “The Game is 45…. Evelyn is 48….. yo daddy the same age as your grandma,” one person wrote. Another said in the comments, “Never mind game is 45, and baby mama is 31. Seems like they had a group meeting to discuss the hard launch. Baby is super cute tho.”
