Tori Kelly is officially a mom!
The Grammy winner, 32, welcomed her first baby, a boy named Zayden Michael Murillo, on Tuesday, Nov. 11 with husband André Murillo, sharing the exciting news on Instagram. In a joint post, the “shine on” singer shared a glimpse at her newborn son, sharing a picture of his feet and another of him next to their family dogs.
“Zayden Michael Murillo. 11.11.25. we love you so much, sweet boy ♡” the couple wrote in the joint caption.
The couple first announced the news with PEOPLE in July that Kelly was expecting their new addition.
“This year has already been full of highs — getting to perform in stadiums all summer, writing the most personal songs of my career and now getting to start a family with my amazing husband,”
Kelly, who was in the midst of a European tour with Ed Sheeran, told PEOPLE at the time.
She added, “We are just so grateful for what’s to come and can’t wait to meet this little gift from God.”
Alongside the announcement, Kelly released a video featuring her and Murillo embracing one another at home and on the beach, soundtracked by a snippet of music from her next project.
The “Should’ve Been Us” artist and Murillo started dating in 2016 and announced their engagement the following September. The pair tied the knot in a private ceremony in May 2018.
Shortly after getting married, she referred to the nuptials as “the most magical day ever.”

Kelly’s latest album, TORI., was released in April 2024 — less than a year after she was unexpectedly hospitalized for life-threatening blood clots.
Around the project’s release, she told PEOPLE about feeling “amazing” and taking only “a simple medication” to stay well, while “going in for checkups” occasionally following the July 2023 hospitalization.
“When I look at just my life, my career and getting to go on these tours, I’m just like, ‘I don’t want to take anything for granted because life as I now have experienced is so fragile,'” said Kelly at the time. “I’m just holding people a little closer.”
