Seems like every other week, we’re hearing all kinds of reports about celebrity couples expecting babies. Now, there’s a new baby alert about a new couple. Apparently, Beverly Johnson’s daughter, Anansa Sims, has a new man and now the two are expecting their first child together. What’s more interesting is he happens to be a man many people are very familiar with.

According to Bossip, Anansa is expecting a child with former NBA star, Matt Barnes. As expected, many people were shocked to learn about Anansa and Matt. All the chatter started a couple days ago, when Anansa took to Instagram with a photo showing off her baby bump (see below image). The striking model definitely turned heads and fans were immediately asking the same question: ‘Who be’s the pappy?’ After much digging, it has been confirmed that the baby’s father is, indeed, Matt Barnes. So how has that been confirmed? Well, an insider has shed a little light on Anansa and Matt’s history revealing how their relationship has evolved. The two have reportedly met in college and have known each other for years. “They met in college at UCLA through mutual friends,” the insider said. “They reconnected after many years, falling in love.”

Needless to say, the news about Anansa’s pregnancy has been a bit shocking for most fans. Lots of social media users have shared their reaction to the pregnancy. Despite the couple knowing each other for many years, people still think they’re movin’ a bit too fast. One person wrote, “They’ve been dating for a couple of months and she’s already pregnant? These males love paying child support!”

To many fans, Anansa and Matt’s relationship seems to have come outta nowhere. For those who don’t remember, Anansa actually tied the knot with David Patterson back in 2010. She was a beautiful bride with a storybook wedding. In fact, the beautiful model and her now ex-husband were featured in Essence magazine and the whole sha-bang. At the time, she discussed their relationship revealing what brought them together. “I think we went out on our first five dates that week,” Anansa recalled. “After that, we were just inseparable. From that moment on, we just had an instant connection. We both had the same core values and we had so much in common.” Anansa and Davis dated for two years before taking things to the next level and tying the knot.

However, we all know some things just aren’t meant to last forever. Back in 2015, it was reported that Anansa filed for divorce and the couple quietly went their separate ways. Although the divorce is reportedly still pending, it doesn’t look like Anansa has any reservations about moving on. As expected, fans have also pointed this out. “Since she’s still legally married, in the eyes of the law, that’s her husband’s baby. Matt will have to have himself declared the father through the court system. Messy.” Another person offered a brutally honest opinion of the situation. “She’s still legally married and he’s a known abuser.”

But despite the criticism, it looks like Anansa and Matt are completely unbothered. She and Matt each have two children from previous relationships. Their new bundle of joy will be the third child for them both. Congratulations to Anansa and Matt!
