It’s been a year of big changes for Logic. According to NME, Logic and wife Brittney Noell “announced they were expecting their first child, a son, back in August last year.” He was 29 years old at that time.
He made the big announcement in a freestyle video, rapping, “And I’m having a little baby. Surprise! It’s a little baby boy. (expletive) TMZ, they can’t get the scoop on that (expletive),” according to USA Today.
In April 2020, Logic explained on social media why he had vanished from the Internet for about a month.
“Breaking my social media rule for a second to tell you guys I love you so much and just been in such a creative zone working on everything to come,” he wrote. “You know me, I’m five projects and two movies ahead at all times lol. I hope you’re all being safe during this pandemic. Know that my heart is with you. I love you all and am excited for no pressure. Bars on bars on bars.”
He also wrote that “this new perspective of life has been amazing. Mainly spending time with family and little bobby and just cooking up…little bobby boy is so cute and the most adorable little man in da worlds!”
Before that, he was married to wife Jessica Andrea.
“After two years of marriage, we have come to the loving conclusion that we are much better as friends. As entertainers, we have made every aspect of our lives public, yet we would appreciate your respect and privacy on this issue,” the rapper wrote on Twitter in 2018.
