Back in June 2016, Jurnee announced that she was pregnant via Instagram and then in November 2016, she’d announced the birth of her child with a loving photo of herself holding her lil’ man, but only a back shot of his head was visible.

Well now Jurnee, the 30 year old Underground superstar and her singer/actor husband, Josiah Bell, have finally shown off a frontal view of their mini-me and Jurnee captioned the photo:

@jurneebell: ✨✨My fellas. So in love…they make my heart explode 😍😍❤❤❤✨✨@josiahbell #HunterZionBell

Jurnee Gives Behind The Scenes Look At Hardships Of Filming Underground 8 Months Pregnant

Here are a few other things we give the big sister of Empire actor, Jussie Smollett, MAJOR props for: Not sure how many of y’all have been tuning into this season of the John Legend produced hit WGN TV series, Underground, but if you haven’t, you’re missing an incredible example of a true pro’ at work. Our girl, Jurnee, has been doing the damn thing while EIGHT months pregnant on the show, as “Rosalee,” the highly sought after runaway slave.

Jurnee had to shoot action scenes running through the woods, chopping down trees (literally) and hopping out of water, all while very pregnant with baby, Hunter, who was a trooper for the entire ride. It takes true courage and passion to do what she did and we give Jurnee a round of applause for that.

She recently posted, on Instagram, behind the scenes video, along with a lengthy message, describing the 8 months pregnant shooting as something that “stretched me beyond anything I ever thought I could do. Some of my most proudest work.” See what else she endured below, with her husband and her team right by her side…

About Jurnee’s Husband, Josiah Bell

FYI: Anyone not familiar with her husband, Josiah, he actually made an appearance as one of the slaves on Underground, but his main career is as a musician/singer. He and Jurnee have been married since 2010. Peep one of his music videos, “Smoke and Mirrors,” featuring his wife below…

We send another congrats to Jurnee Smollett and Josiah Bell…wishing them years of happiness.
