Rapper Professor Green has become a dad for the first time.
The chart-topper, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, said he’s a “magical” week after his girlfriend Karima McAdams gave birth on Monday.
The couple are the proud parents of a baby boy.
Taking to Instagram, Pro wrote: “I didn’t wake up Monday morning expecting to meet you. In my mind we still had a couple of weeks to get everything ready, but you had other ideas.
“I’ve always said ‘the only way to be on time is to be early’; it’s nice to see you taking after me already, though you seem to have inherited your Mum’s looks.”
Alongside a snap of the newborn, the musician continued: “Privately we’ve endured what so many parents-to-be have, your journey to us wasn’t a straight line whatsoever, it was a rollercoaster right up to your arrival.
“I didn’t allow myself to express my excitement as much as I’d have liked to, I wanted to freely shout about how excited I was about you joining us, but I was frightened. We had scare after scare during the worst of which, I said to your Mama ‘if he does make it, he’s grounded’.”
He added: “Having met you, I’m sorry. It wasn’t your fault and you’re totally forgiven.
“You’re far too perfect to be mad at. As mum’s go, you’ve lucked out; you have the best example of what a brave, strong, passionate, loving, kind and both considered and considerate woman is.
“One day I’ll tell you about how amazing she’s been throughout this whole process / ordeal and all the things she’s soldiered on through, with all of the optimism required to see this through.
“All I’ve been able to do for Mama is be supportive, which despite my very best efforts still left me feeling a bit redundant at times and for good reason; I was!
“I couldn’t for a second take on even a part of what she was going through physically, which was a lot.”
Professor Green and Karima started dating in the summer of 2019.
Their romance quickly blossomed and shortly after the star got her named inked across his chest.
A source told The Sun last year: “Karima just brings out the best in him, they have a bond that you can just see when the two of them are together, they’re super chilled and relaxed and playful together, it’s like they’ve been together for 10 years.”
Before he met Karima, Professor Green was in a relationship with Made In Chelsea star Millie MackIntosh
