📸 Her Instagram Reveal
Rashida expressed gratitude to her daughter for emotional support. She wrote, “As a teen mom, I was always hesitant … thank you to my daughter for being here … demonstrating unconditional LOVE & reassuring me that, ‘Everything is alright!’”
LiAngelo responded to the post with a heart and key emoji — 💖🔑 — showing his joy and commitment.
📅 Family Context
This will be LiAngelo’s third child, but his first with Rashida. He has two children with ex Nikki Mudarris, who earlier accused him of abandoning their family after news of Rashida’s pregnancy surfaced.
In February, Mudarris alleged Ball informed her via text that he got someone else pregnant and “walked out” after their second child was born in December 2024.
