Tori Kelly Gives Glory to God in Joyful Pregnancy Announcement
Grammy-award winning artist and professing Christian Tori Kelly announced that she and her husband, André Murillo, are expecting their first baby, whom she described as a "gift from God." Speaking with People Magazine, Kelly confirmed that she is planning to start a family amid a hectic year.
"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, 32, who is currently on tour in Europe with Ed Sheeran.
"We are just so grateful for what's to come and can't wait to meet this little gift from God," she added.
Kelly also posted a video montage of her and Murillo together at home and on the beach while embracing each other. The clip was also soundtracked by a snippet from her next project.
"Only you know me/ Mind and my body/ Riding with you down this road/ We got forever to go/ When we get closer/ And when I hold ya/ You make it feel just like home," she sings in the song featured on the video.
"And there's no one here but you and me/We've been through it/ Yeah, we been everywhere and in between/ Yeah, yeah/ Making the complicated easy/ Felt every kind of feeling/ Passed every test/ Boxes, checked." "I'm ready for what comes next."
Kelly and her husband, Murillo, a former basketball player, began their relationship in 2016 and married two years later in a private ceremony.
An outspoken Christian, Kelly previously shared with The Christian Post how her faith in God played a significant role in her life.
"Anyone who knows me personally …[faith is] a part of who I am," the songwriter said. "I can't do what I do … and I feel like God, Jesus always comes up at some point. It's been such a part of my life, in my childhood growing up. But then, at a certain point, it became very personal to me."
"It's really just because it's a part of who I am," the singer said. "It's not something that I have to force. …It just sort of comes out."
She won a Grammy for Best Gospel Performance/Song in 2018 for her gospel album Hiding Place, which featured the renowned worship artist Kirk Franklin.
Last year, she released her latest album, TORI., which was released nearly a year after she was hospitalized in July 2023 with life-threatening blood clots.
