Ciara and fiance Future welcomed their first child on Monday. The sultry singer confirmed the birth hersel, via Twitter and Facebook, earlier this morning, when she posted a photo of the newborn's arm, along with the caption, "FUTURE ZAHIR WILBURN 9lbs 10oz May 19 2014."

Umm well at least he's not named Past ...

Ciara, 28, announced her pregnancy back in January in an appearance on The View and then the singer announced three months later that she was engaged to rapper-producer Future (nee Nayvadius D. Wilburn).

The couple had already chosen the name before the birth. Previously, Ciara said that was the easy part: "It was kind of easy. But the middle name was a little hard for me… I went with what felt right in my soul and my gut. I didn't second guess it."

This is Ciara's first child and the second for Future, who has a son from a previous relationship.
