Spotted in NYC on Tuesday as they made their way to the popular New York eatery, Mr Chow. The celebrity expressed her desire to expand her family, stating, “I wish to have as many children as possible. My kids bring me joy, keep me active, and give me a sense of purpose.” She also mentioned her son Future Jr, whom she shares with rapper Future.

Despite giving birth to her daughter Sienna, she quickly shed the baby weight with sheer determination. She revealed her post-pregnancy routine, saying, “I would wake up, breastfeed, eat a small meal, exercise, pump, eat again, breastfeed, have lunch, and exercise once more.”

Acknowledging the importance of self-love, she emphasized the need to take care of oneself. She confessed to gaining over 60 pounds during her pregnancy due to indulging in her favorite foods like fries, mac and cheese, and cornbread. “I couldn’t resist Southern delicacies like stuffing, even when it wasn’t Thanksgiving! We are big on food in the South,” she explained.

That evening, as they made their way to Mr Chow, the 33-year-old was seen sporting a stylish red and monochrome fur coat, though it remained uncertain whether the fur was real or faux.
