I guess all that silence about Jennifer Hudson's status has worked--when it finally happened, we're a little surprised, and obviously happy.

The former American Idol contestant has given birth to a baby boy, her representatives confirmed.  She and her fiance, former I Love New York contestant David Otunga, welcomed Daniel David Otunga Jr. last Monday.

"The baby is beautiful and perfect," her representative, Lisa Kasteler, told TVGuide.com.  "His parents are ecstatic."  The younger David weighed in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces upon birth.

News about Hudson's pregnancy started to spread early in the year, when details of her private baby shower were leaked to the press.  While the singer and Oscar winner didn't confirm the details throughout the nine months, she appeared obviously pregnant during the memorial service for Michael Jackson, where she performed.
