Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert and his fiancée Teyana Taylor received an early Christmas present this week. Teyana went into labor in the couple’s home and Iman had to step up and take on Dr. Duties.
On Dec 16th at 6:42am in our bathroom Junie decided she wanted to take her first breath into this world. She came out as a wonderful surprise to everyone! Not knowing I was in labor until I felt her head…it took two ten count pushes with my fiancé playing Dr and she entered this world into his bare hands! Eyes full of tears and barely able to speak to the emergency operator @imanshumpert tied a pair of red headphones around the umbilical cord and the ambulance made there grand entrance 5 min later. She opened her eyes right away, gazed into mine and never cried! He handed her to me wrapped in our bath towel and wiped her face for me to see what LOVE really is. She has blown Christmas away! Our family is complete. Her blueprint will be unmatched. Welcome Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. Mommy carried you. Daddy delivered you. #MeetTheParents we love you baby girl
The couple began dating in 2014. Iman proposed in November during the couples’ baby shower.
Shumpert recently made his return to the court for the Cavs following pre-season surgery on his wrist.
