In this week's issue, the hit "Funkdafied" rapper and his wife Jesseca "Judy" Harris-Dupart reveal exclusively to PEOPLE that they are expecting a child.

Da Brat admits that at 48, "there's a lot of stuff we learned about women over the age of 40," and that "it's been quite a journey."

The day they said "I do" on February 2 of last year marked the beginning of the couple's journey toward motherhood. Kaleidoscope Hair Products CEO Harris-Dupart, 41, was just about to launch a new line that was inspired by Da Brat and her iconic braids and protective hairstyles.
We were like, "We're extending our family!" when it started out as a joke. she says of the whimsical showcasing slogan for their cooperation. " But then we got a lot of responses. It was like, "Oh my God, do we actually want to have children, and if we do, girl, we better hurry up."

Prior to their relationship, Harris-Dupart was already the mother of three children. Children were never really part of Da Brat's plan. She declares, "I never thought I would have kids." I simply assumed that it was out of the question. I've had a full life and a successful career. I believed that if I hadn't gotten pregnant earlier, it wouldn't have happened to me.

Da Brat's decision to carry worked out in Harris-Dupart's favor given the serious health issues she experienced after her egg retrieval procedure. However, the rapper had her own difficult health issues, such as having to have surgery to remove polyps and fibroids before her embryo transfer procedure.

After that, a devastating miscarriage occurred. Da Brat declares, "I had never been so excited about something that I didn't even know I wanted." After I fell in love with the concept, it was all taken away from me.
"We still had quite a few of her eggs left, fortunately," she says. The couple chose an anonymous donor from their cryo bank who was described as "an eager entrepreneur." They are currently 18 weeks pregnant. Da Brat asserts, "It's just a blessing," firmly into her second trimester. I'm thrilled!" She's also worn out. She continues, "but I'm always sleepy." "I don't have any cravings or nausea," she says. It's absurd!"

Da Brat has been surprised by another aspect of pregnancy: I weep at everything. I cry if someone wins American Idol. I think, "I'm more resilient than that!"

She laughs as she thinks about her tough hip-hop persona and her happy news and bump reveal. "I think people are going to be shocked," she says. Despite this, she decided to embrace the contrast by having a pregnancy photo shoot that was inspired by gangsters. She declares, "I loved it."

Most importantly, she mentions Harris-Dupart, noting that "[I came out] because of her inspiring me" and "wanting to scream it from the mountaintops that I found somebody that I am totally in love with and I don't want to hide it any longer." Harris-Dupart is the subject of her statement.

The third season of Brat Loves Judy will premiere on WE TV on April 27 at 9 p.m. ET.
