Walker is 20 weeks pregnant and shared the news by posting a video of herself getting an ultrasound.

"Expecting Baby Bey March 2020," she captioned the post.

Walker gave a shoutout to her late mom, Glenda Walker, who died in October.

"She was so excited," Walker said of her mom. "The night before she unexpectedly passed away she said 'I still can't believe my baby is having a baby!' I'll never forget those words. This has been an emotional roller coaster but I'm blessed to be bringing life into this world. #BabyBey."

Walker's Black Ink Crew: Chicago co-star Ryan Henry and Black Ink Crew: New York star Young Bae were among those to congratulate the couple in the comments.
