Jennifer Hudson & Son
Dec 2nd, 2009 by Bilal Ali
Most new mothers will take any opportunity to show off photographs of their bundle of joy.
And Jennifer Hudson was certainly no exception as she proudly shared her snaps of her baby boy David with Oprah Winfrey.
Speaking to the Queen of Chat on her show yesterday, the singer cooed over recent photos of her four-month-old son and revealed that she is planning to make his first Christmas a special one.
She said: ‘I’m going to go crazy. He’s very aware but he’s so young and it’s his first Christmas, so you have to go all-out.’
And she said she would like to get him his own Santa and toy store, and added: ‘I kind of want to get him his own Santa Claus and just have like a toy store in the house, full of things.’
Hudson, 28, gave birth to David Daniel - named after his father, Jennifer’s fiancĂ© David Otunga, a lawyer-turned-WWE wrestler - in August this year.
He was born almost a year after the tragic murders of the Oscar-winner’s 57-year-old mother, Darnell Donnerson, her 29-year-old brother, Jason Hudson and seven-year-old nephew Justin King.
Police arrested William Balfour, 27, the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister Julia, in connection with the killings, and he was charged with three counts of first degree murder and is currently awaiting trial.
Hudson shot to fame after she came third on reality TV show American Idol, the US version of the X Factor, in 2004.
n February 2007 she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her film debut in the 2006 film Dreamgirls.
The following month she released her debut eponymous album which was received to critical acclaim and won Hudson a Grammy Award.
Hudson has been a regular guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and gave the chat show host her first interview since the family murders in February this year.
On yesterday’s show, after gushing about baby David to Oprah and her other guests, country music duo, Sugarland, she joined the pair on stage for a rendition of the Christmas carol, Silent Night.
