Snoop Dogg's daughter, Cori Broadus, has officially announced that a baby is on the way for her and her partner, Wayne Deuce. In an exclusive statement to E! News, the rapper's only daughter revealed that the baby was unplanned, and she found out about it a few months ago.

As for Snoop Dogg's children, he shares three kids: sons Corde, 30, and Cordell, 27, and daughter Cori, 25, with his wife, Shante Broadus. The two got hitched in 1997. He also has a son, 26-year-old Julian, from a past relationship. Furthermore, he has seven grandchildren, with another one coming soon.

During a 2015 interview with Today, Snoop reflected on his bond with his kids:

"My relationship with my kids is more important than anything. It's a friendship relationship ... it's based on me being a father, a mentor and a friend."

Cori Broadus says Snoop Dogg wanted a grandson

Cori was diagnosed with lupus at the age of 6. The Lupus Foundation of America describes it as “an autoimmune disease, which means that your immune system … attacks healthy tissue instead” of attacking infections.

Speaking with E! News, she revealed that she's currently four months along. As for how she found out:

"I found out October 28. This baby is so unplanned, but we are soooooo blessed."

Cori, now 25, went on:

"I'm high-risk pregnancy and doctors were very concerned for me and the baby, but God has his hands on me, and me and the baby are doing perfectly fine. I’m having a girl."

As for how her parents reacted, she revealed they were "excited" that "their baby girl is having a baby." However, she added that her dad "was hoping for a grandson, though." Cori Broadus went on, gushing over the latest addition to her family:

"I'm just excited to love on my baby girl and make her feel like she's the prettiest in the world. Growing up, I wasn't the most confident and never felt like I fit in, so just to instill all the beautiful things in her head at a young age. And I’m having a mini me. Wayne said he's excited to have someone that looks like me. He knows she is going to be so beautiful and he just can't wait to build things for her and give her all the love in the world."

Cori Broadus and her fiancé, Wayne Duece, revealed they will have a baby girl on Instagram on December 23. "Girl dad 💗 can’t wait to meet you, baby girl," Duece captioned the image, where his hands can be seen on Broadus' pregnant belly.


Cori Broadus and Duece were slated to get hitched last year, live on their three-part E! special, Snoop's Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne's Story. However, they ultimately decided to push it to a later date.
