Pregnant pals Malika Haqq and Cassie swapped notes about impending motherhood at the singer's baby shower, held at the Dream Hollywood. The reality star and the songstress lounged in matching pink pajama sets and sipped water during the celebration, which was attended by Cassie's closest friends and family.
Malika, 36, and Cassie, 33, are both expecting their first child. The "Me & U" singer announced she was pregnant in June, less than a year after her split from longtime boyfriend Diddy. "Can’t wait to meet our baby girl. Love You Always & Forever," Cassie captioned a photo of herself and her then-boyfriend Alex Fine. Her personal trainer beau took to his own account to gush about the news. "I promise you that I will do every single thing in my power to support you and help you. I promise that you will never be alone. I promise that you will be loved beyond expectation and we will show our children how to be in a healthy relationship. I promise to always come home with a great attitude and give our children and you undivided attention," he lovingly wrote.
Alex proceeded to pop the question to Cassie days before her 33rd birthday in August. The couple quietly tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on Wednesday, September 25. Alex briefly stopped by his wife's baby shower and posted several snapshots from the event. "Mom and Dad. I'm so happy my daughter will be surrounded by such beautiful female souls and role models for her in the future. Thank you to everyone for surrounding my babies with love and warmth," he wrote.
Malika shocked fans with her own pregnancy announcement on September 27. "I listen to my heart, and I’ve decided that the rest of my life will be the best of my life. I’m pregnant! I didn't know when, I just knew one day. God said it’s my turn, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the little spirit that grows inside of me. I am yours, baby, and you are mine. Thank you, @Clearblue for being a CLEAR and intricate part of the most important test result of my life. 2020 baby!" she captioned an Instagram photo of herself holding a positive pregnancy test.

Days after Malika broke the news, it was revealed that her ex O.T. Genasis is the father of her unborn child. Malika and the rapper dated on and off for over two years before their split in June 2019. The status of their current relationship remains unclear, but they were spotted getting manicures and pedicures together on October 26.
Malika reportedly doesn't want to force O.T. to be part of their baby's life. "Malika didn’t want to make O.T. part of her pregnancy journey unless he wanted to be involved. They are talking and feeling it out. He’s been getting more involved as her pregnancy has progressed," a source told Us Weekly.
Malika revealed her baby's gender and announced that she was expecting a baby boy on November 8.
