Washington D.C. [USA], Mar 17 : American actor and model Malika Haqq is officially a mom. She announced that she gave birth to a baby boy named Ace on Saturday, March 14 (local time).

Haqq shared with her sister on their Facebook Watch show Side by Side, "The reason why I was so excited to learn that I was pregnant was because I knew that my life was going to change for the better, the greatest blessing that I've always wanted but didn't know I was going to get, is finally here."
Mallika said, "Deciding to freeze my eggs as a gift to myself on my 35th birthday was pretty hilarious now at this point because I have eggs in the freezer I may never use, I made a baby in love and those eggs weren't necessary."
Through the entire process, Haqq's famous bestie Khloe Kardashian has been by her side. Kardashian, in fact, was also an in-charge of throwing her best friend a lavish baby shower.
