Black Eyed Peas - Black Eyed Peas Star Taboo Is A Dad Again

The hip-hop star became a father for the third time as he welcomed a son named Journey with his partner Jaymie Dizon.

Taboo kept fans updated throughout his wife's labour in a series of posts on Twitter.com - even posting a video as he waited outside the delivery room.

He wrote, "This is it 4:05am it's time wifey and I are heading to the hospital contractions lasting 30-47 sec (seconds) between 3-5 min (minutes) it's time go time!!... 3 cm dilated journey is on his way good times.... Wife is doing fine... I'm doing my part..."

He later added, "By the way it's a boy for those of you asking and his name is Journey... Thanks for your support."

Taboo - real name Jaime Luis Gomez - and Dizon are already parents to Jimmy Jalen, who was born in 2009, while the rapper fathered a son, Josh, in 1993 with a former girlfriend when he was just 17 years old.
