TIFFANY EVANS EXPECTING FIRST CHILD
There’s a baby on the way for Tiffany Evans! The 19-year-old singer and her husband Lorenzo(she has been married for two years) are expecting their first child in October.
She reveals to Essence, “I am six months pregnant. No one has seen me and I’ve been waiting the proper time to say something about it. I’m so happy and I’m so excited and I’m having a girl. It’s so big and wonderful to me. It’s an amazing experience and I wish guys could go through this. It’s life changing.”
The R&B star is planning on releasing her EP Take 1 this month.
“The direction of Take 1 is very funky, very soulful, very R&B. It’s womanly. It’s me starting over. It’s me reintroducing myself to everyone and finally establishing who I am as an artist. It’s a real coming of age project for me. This EP was also the quickest way to give new music to my fans. I’ve been working on it all by myself, I feel like that chance now to really establish who I am music wise and who I am as an artist. This is that chance for me,” she says

How You Get Mad Because This Girl Is 20 Years Old MARRIED And About To Have Her FIRST Child.!At Least She Is MARRIED.! Most Of Yall With Babies/Children Had Yall Babies/Children Way BEFORE You Even Turned 20 And Aint Married Nor Never Been Married.! Black Women Make Me Sick.! Jusz Cuz You Didnt Wait Until You Was Married To Have Kids Dont Mean Everybody Else Shouldnt Wait Til Marriage.! Us As Black Women Have To Stop Trying Look Down On The Next Young Black Woman And Try To Better Ourselves.!
Congratulations Tiffany!!
She was on Oprah when she was maybe 12yrs old. Her family was homeless, living in a van, they entered her in a singing contest in Atlantic City, she won and they used the money to get a home. She grew up really fast, 19 may seem too young to us, but she I’m sure she feels alot older.
I say TO EACH THIER OWN!! I’m not here to condemn or judge this young lady. She knows/knew what she wanted out of life. I don’t know what age is appropriate to get married bcuz there are ppl that wait til they are 40 and don’t make it the first year so for her to make it 2-3…KUDOS!! Everyone has their own opinion but whether it matters to her…NOT! I doubt it very seriously. She is going to live her life to the fullest and care LESS what America has to say. GOOD LUCK TIFFANY TO YOU AND YOURS!!
I speak from experience when it comes to young love. I got married at 18 (my husband was 25) and had a baby 2 years later too. I am now 26 and a divorced, single mother of my daughter. There is too many changes that happen when you are between the ages of 18-25. There is too much to navigate and figure out and you have no clue about yourself. Whether she grew up in Hollywood and the music industry or middle America, it really does not make a difference. The human brain needs time to develop and grow up. My parents and elders told me not to get married and then told me to hold off on a baby too. I look back now and say that being grown could have waited. I do not have regrets, but there were opportunities that were just not viable when you settle down, get married and have children. Her career is going to suffer. I work in a corporate environment and lots of times it means nothing that I have a bachelors and masters degree and more than 10 certifications that show what I can do. I am a woman that has a child at home and many believe that it can hinder your performance. Most celebrities will say that after marriage and babies, record sales decline because the public view of the person changes. Yes, there are many that have gotten married young and made it through, but more times than not the story ends like mine… in divorce. But, what’s done is done, I just hope that her album after this “coming of age” album won’t be an ode to the freedom she found after divorce and the realities of single parenthood.
Everybody has an opinion but what is for her is for her. This just might be exactly what was meant for her. So hold your opinions and just be happy that she’s still proving herself to be a classy young lady.
Now is she the girl who played Tiffany in the Madea movies? She looks so grown up now, anay way Congrats to her and her hubby.
Reading these comments brings a huge smile to my face. What exactly does she need to explore or experience that she can’t while she’s married? What is it that she can’t experience with a child? I’m a single father and it’s nothing that I feel that I missed out on. Everyone doesn’t want or desire to experience the things YOU did. My parents have been married for 31 years this November and they started dating in junior high school. They both have successful businesses and have raised two sons that are very accomplished. My point is stop putting a time limit on other people. Life is different for everyone. It was not uncommon back in the day for your grandparents and great-grands to get married much younger and I’m willing to bet that most did a great job of raising your parents. To say that EVERYONE should go threw this and that to know what they want to do with there lives is ridiculous. Wish that woman the best and just do you.
Wow, married at 16? That’s rare and simply doesn’t occur often in this day and age. Awesome.
We tell young people to save sex for marriage. Well that’s more likely to happen for those who marry young. She’s lost nothing and, to the non westernized world that doesn’t believe in hooking up before marriage, this is normal.
her husband is 25 years old
she is never going to have the music career that she wants now.MOtherhood changes things there are so many female celebrities who careers have declined after having children.I wasnt trying to marry or have anyones babies at 19.
Neither was I, but now that I’m older and I see couples who found each other at an early age…I WISH I had had that kind of maturity. It’s weird, it feels like people would rather her sleep around and gain ‘experience’ rather than be an adult within the bonds of marriage.
I’m just throwing it out there, but maybe she’s a Christian and doesn’t believe in having premarital sex. A few decades ago, most women were married by 25…and they had a much lower divorce rate than we do now! I’m not saying every 19 y/o is mature enough to be married, but I am saying that SOME are and this young woman seems to have a VERY grounded view of life. Congratulations.
[...] together with her beau. (SheKnows Entertainment) Tiffany Evans expecting her first child. (BlackCelebKids) Sasha Obama celebrates her birthday. (Hollybaby) Celebrities head out to the Chrysalis Ball. [...]
Didnt she say she was single when she went on the Monique show when she was 18? Or maybe I heard her wrong.
She said that she had someone special but she also said to take your time and that you dont want to feel old to quickly
eh who cares? back in the day if you were 25 and not married you would be considered a failure in life. There is no magic age to get married. If someone knows what they want and has the means, then let them get married and stop judging them. My mother got married at 21 and 37 years later they’re still happy. I’d rather see a 19 year old in a lasting marriage than a 30 year old who divorces in 2 years.
I’ve been with my boyfriend since I was 16, I’m about to be 22 and I’m damn sure not waiting till my late 20s/early to get married. What’s the point of waiting if you know what you want? What’s there to explore that you can’t do while married to the person you want to spend the rest of your life with?
Well said J. I’m a single dad and people kill me with their judgement that you can’t do anything when you’re married or have a child. My question is what in the heck are you trying to do that you can’t do married or with a child? Maybe I don’t need to be doing those things if I wasn’t married or have a child anyway. I’ve raised my son on my own since before he was one and I am in my late 20s, completing a masters and a great career. My point is that nothing can hold you back besides yourself. To be honest and straight-forward….most and I did same most of the people that are so vocal on marriage at a certain age can’t imagine having something slow them down from either running the streets, hitting the clubs, testing the waters (if you get my drift), and all the other things that you’ll critize people about doing when you’re in your 40s. Good luck to you and yours.
Getting married and having children young doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting your life “right”. She’s been a musician so she has already found work, whereas many people have to hold off on marriage and children so they can go to school. Just because someone disagrees with your decision doesn’t make it hate.
@ yeaits me; NO. You can run teh streets, travel, party, You dont ahve to fvck everything/every1. You dont have to mess w parents $ as many have scholarships/grans or pay their own way.
also, how do you and how does tiff know that the neg comments she got were from blk women. Im tired of them getting all the criticism. So you think those criticing 19yr year old anglo miley cyrus for being engaged are also bitter blk women?
This isn 2012. It isnt smart to get married young as you change & grow. medically it isnt a good idea either as your brain isnt fully matured.
Plus she is in show business so that is an additional strain already. we will see if her husband is okay with raising his child 100% while mom tiffany is on the road, i doubt it.
reese/ryan married at 18, they are DIVORCED.
leann/dean married at 19, theu are DIVORCED.
no 1 should marry b4 25 IMO. once needs to have worked or have gone to school and have been responsible b4 entering into the seriousness of marriage.
She Knows it comes from black women from the people that tweet her. You can still travel and be married and have a baby. Beyonce is doing it just fine. They went to st. Barts, paris, atlantic city and dublin. You can still party as well. Im sure her family members would love to watch the baby. Seeing tiffany’s tweets she isnt really the partying type. Black women wouldnt be getting all the criticism if wasnt true. Im black to so im not being racist just saying that black women tend to be more judgemental. And it may not be smart for you not to get married at 19 but that doesnt mean it isnt for everybody else. Her husband dances background for her so most of the time that shes on the road he and the baby will be right there with her.
Reagan/Dewayne married at 19= happily married for 13 years
Hilary/Mike married at 22=married for 2 years/new baby
Megan/Brian married at 22= Married for 2 years/expecting baby
Bo/John married at 18= married until 1988 when john died
Taylor/Natalie married at 19= married for 10 years/5 children
Kevin/Danielle married at 22=married for 3 years
Dolly/Carl married at 20= married for 46 years.
It can work out.
And people over 25 marry for less than 2 years.
Kim,30 and Kris,26 married for 72 days
Kid Rock,35 and Pamela A,39 married for 4 months
Well I have no comment about the bitter black women comment although as a black man I do see that stereotype thrown around a lot. They even attempted to cast that shadow on the 1st lady. I would like to understand why you feel the need to put an age requirement on marriage? I mean I’m actually laughing while I’m typing it! True that most are not ready for that sort of responsibility but that’s for most. My parents have been married since the age of 17 and will be celebrating their 31st anniversary this November. They are happy is heck and still make me sick to see them slow dancing in the kitchen together. You should see it….it’s so crazy. My point is that unlike a drivers license, legal age to vote, legal age to drink…..love (assuming that’s what they have because I don’t know personally, only they do) does not. They are legal and felt like it is time for them so it may work. I wish you the best in your life but please think about not limiting yourself as well to a timeline. Life is too short and the next day is not promise. You may have the desire to go backpacking in Europe at 40 but others may feel their time is right now. Just saying.
I LOVE YOUR RE
Congrats to her! She seems like she has an old soul. In other words, she very mature for her age.
Getting married at 17 was far from my mind and having a kid at 19 was out of the question. I’m 26 going on 27, and I’m not ready for marriage or kids.
I really think it depends on the mauturity level of the person and none of us know her so we cant say if she is ready or not. I applaud her for getting married instead of having a bunch of kids out of wedlock. They have been married 2 years and just now have a child on the way so that is a good thing in my opinion.
My sister got married at 18 and had her first child at 19 and her and her husband have been together for 15 years, that’s more than most adult marriages last. You can never say what somebody is ready for if you don’t know the person. Everyone told my sister it would not last and the main ones who said that have been married 2 or 3 times.
I think she is moving too fast. My sister brother and friend both had kids starting at 14 years old and now they both 25 with 3 kids. The last I heard my friend is married or should be by now. The one thing I can say about my bro and my friend they both have been with they boyfriend and girlfriend for years. But both relationships have had problems for the simple fact they were kids having kids and trying to be grown before it was they time. Enjoy life wait to get grown.
I GREW UP WITH HER! I LOVED HER MUSIC AND VOICE…I DO THINK SHE IS YOUNG BUT ITS HER LIFE. I WISH HER CAREER COULD HAVE BEEN BIGGER!
Did she have her nose “refined”. I remember her looking a bit different.
Good for her she has a career, husband a baby on the way. Some people at 30 can’t manage to do all of that. Age has nothing to do with it, it’s that persons state of mind. There are 40 year olds walking around with absolutely no common sense at all.
Yes you aint never lied on that one.
omgg woooooow CONGRATS !! All the youngins are getting engaged&married like miley cyrus…(well thats all I can think of) but yeah CONGRATS TIFFANY !!
Well…….she is of age…and married. Nothing else to say but congrats.
This is what Tiffany E. said on her twitter for all of those who say she is to young and needs to “find” herself.
“Excuse me if I decided to get my life right at an EARLY age rather than wait until I finished “exploring and having fun”.
“I need to be Grown enough to make the right decision?? Are you kidding me? Wow society really has an ass for a brain.”
“So Im out of School,Married,Expecting,Still doing what I love,making music,Building a company Emancipated since age 15.And Women are mad?”
“Are you kidding me? Black Women at that. Shouldnt yall be happy? Things like this disgust me.”
“True true… I just didnt realize how hateful our black community can be”
Tell us how you really feel Tiffany!
Women are not mad at her or about anything she’s done. Women/people are expressing their opinions &/or giving advice. Sometimes as young people, we think we have it all figured out, but it takes the grandmothers of the world to really open our eyes.
People love throwing around the word hating. Criticism isn’t hating. Advice you don’t want to hear isn’t hating.
Honey, all the people with common sense are waiting for the words hater and hating to die.
Another thing, I’m so sick of people calling out black women. Everything isn’t a black issue or a black woman issue. It’s just people expressing their opinion, who happen to be black and who happen to be women. Nothing more and nothing less.
Someone should tell her that exploring and having fun doesn’t mean screw your life up. It means exactly what it says. It’s also not a black and white thing. Miley Cyrus is engaged and I don’t think that’s the greatest thing either, and other women black and white think it’s not the best move either. People also ARE NOT saying that these relationships won’t work out, because we know that there are people who have gotten married young and have had long marriages. What people are trying to say is that when you get married at a young age and even more so have a baby, you miss out on a lot of things that you could possibly regret later.
I think she is saying Black community because all of the negativity has been coming from black people. And You as grown women she also be cautious to what you say on the internet. You may think of it as Criticism or advice you dont wont to hear but to them it can be very hurtful. Just because you have a right(freedom of speech) doesnt mean you have to use that in a judgmental or negative way. You cant just group all young adults as immature and dumb. Not all Of them are like that
1. An opinion is not negativity. And once again WHO IN THE HECK is saying that all young people are immature and dumb. I’m 18 and I know I’m not immature or dumb. From what I can tell, most people are giving an opinion on whether or not they think getting married at 19 is too young. There are people who think that it is, that conflicts with her actions and beliefs, oh well. It’s not that serious and nothing to get hurt feelings over.
2. What other race would be talking about her really? It’s not like she has a humongous fan base, and the fan base she does have, is I’m sure, majority black.
**Off topic but how come Kevin Harts kids are usually in the gallery & rarely ever got a post?
Lets not forget Reagan Gomez and her husband were at 19 and they have been married for 13 years and have 2 beautiful children. Sometimes You dont have to be 30 to find true love. And why wait when you Know
jesseK: reagan/dwayne dated for 5 yrs since she was 14. they also each stepped back from their careers to nurture their marriage. they waited 7 years before having kids. They have their ish together.
did tiff date her husb that long?
i hope in 2 yrs we wont hear that she lied (like brandy) and in reality pretended to be married bc she got pregnant. It seems suspect to me that she wouldnt annnounce her marriage of TWO YEARS AGO until she was pregnant.
Solange to quicly married Daniel in feb and had their baby that october/november.
Actually they said that she has been with him since she was 15 and that they dated 3 years before getting married. And I doubt that this is a brandy situation Because A blog had reported back in 2010 when they got married
Congrats to her! I couldn’t be married at 17, i wanted to be able to go out & party & do normal young adult things. Now that i’m 22, i can say i’m experienced enough to now what to get married & have a family. Everybody has a different story, so 17 may have been the right time for her. (Don’t your parents have to allow you to get married under 18?)
In Georgia (where my parents were married)if you are under 18 and pregnant or if you already have a child you can be married without parental permission.
If you are an emancipated minor (like my mum was, you have to prove to the court that you can support yourself)you can be married without parental permission since in the eyes of the law you are an adult.
Wow too bad she looks 30 and is only 19
NO she does not
Could be this picture but she does, still really pretty. Some people just look older. I’m 18 but people still peg for me 13, sad in some ways.
I think young love is nice. At least she is married instead of just having a baby with no kind of commitment like a lot of girls her age. I am 22 and waiting for God to send me the right guy to marry and start a family with but I’m in no rush because God has his own timing. So until then I will focus on myself and my career. Congrats to her and her family on the new edition.
She comes from a hugh family she has 9 siblings so she’s starting off right! I like Tiff she was cute and sweet!
For the folks saying she is too young, she has been through her share of hardships, from being homeless, to her struggle in the music industry (she is way too talented to be unrecognized). She is grown and knows what she wants. It’s a good thing that she at least got married first and waited two before having children. So congrats
Yes she has been through alot and she is so talented. I wish her nothing but the best.
YAY! Tiffany! Omg. I’m happy for her and her husband!
WOW! This one is a shocker. she has been MIA for a long time, and to hear that she is married and pregnant. Thats crazy. But to each is own. Im not going to say she should wait, although i do think everyone should enjoy their teenage years and 20′s. Everyone has different feelings about these things. Like me, I am 22 and marriage and kids are so far ahead of my future, i think, whatever god chooses for me, but tiffany is one of the young ladies who have a different opinion about things. Anyway, I congratulate her on not being a parent at 19, but for being married for 2 yrs, then deciding to have a child. and not getting married because she is having a child. Hope everything works out.
she got married when she was 17? damn. i don’t see why people get married at such a fragile time in their lives when they still have so much growing up to do and “finding” themselves and what not. she must be very mature for her age. long as they’re in love. congrats to her
WOW!!..I still listen to her song:Promise Ring , I can’t believe she is married and having a baby. OMG!! It would be nice if these young ppl would just enjoy their young lives , instead of getting married at 18 and having kids. Well , I wish her the best in all that she does.
OKAY! That was my song!
Yeeeaaah, that’s it! Promise ring.
Names sounds familiar but I can’t place her. Congrats!
19 & been married for 2yrs? Why? If it’s true love, it would have waited another 5yrs. Young people need to enjoy young adulthood as much as they can. There is plenty of time for all that extra stuff.
Exactly! Like girl why? lol congrats to her tho
She played Tyler Perry’s daughter in one of his movies. With the mother on drugs. She’s a beautiful young woman. She grew up so fast.
Hi Ms. Sherley. My parents got married when my mum was 16 and they have been married for 17 years.
I’m not planning to be married for at least 10 more years but if I was going to do “adult” things I would prefer to do them withen a marriage than outside of it.
Now I remember her. thx guys.
@Oxford, I’m not saying young love does not last. I’m saying if it’s true love at 17, then it will be true love at 20, 25, ect.
I agree I have been with my husband since I was 18 and we have been married since we were 22 and we are 35 now with a beautiful 11 year old daughter.It can be done.I think it is a beautiful thing.
She played the daughter in Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Her mother was on drugs and she wanted to sing in the church choir.
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
She’s been gone a while and now she’s married and having a baby WTF?
I think I remember one of her songs… I think. Anywho, congrats to her.
I remember the song “Promise Ring”
WHAT!!!! LOL!! I was wondering where she was. I love her voice. OMG!! She is married and has a baby on the way, I cannot believe this. Congrats to her.
