Diplo followed up with a video of Pace, and further explanation to fans. “So I had an entire ass baby during quarantine,” the star said. “I was hesitant to post him because not only does he already had a better haircut than me.. But also because I havent met him yet since we are separated by a million miles and closed borders. His name is Pace, he and his mommy are super healthy and happy and I'm going to meet them as soon as we turn a corner on this world shutdown.”
King has not posted about Diplo, but did celebrate Mother's Day with a pic of her and Pace, writing, “In the midst of all this chaos you've been my peace,” using the hashtags “#myfirstmothersday #happymothersday #myson #myheartbeat #mylifeline.”
Jevon competed in the Miss Universe pageant as Miss Trinidad and Tobago Universe in 2014.
