Top 3 “American Idol” contestant Jamal Roberts introduced the world to his newborn daughter, Gianna Grace, just days after an emotional hometown visit to Meridian, Mississippi.
Jamal Roberts, one of the final three contestants on American Idol Season 23, had a heartwarming homecoming on May 14, 2025, where he reunited with family, friends, and students at Crestwood Elementary, where he teaches physical education.
However, the most unforgettable moment wasn’t on stage or at a school assembly—it was meeting his newborn daughter for the very first time.
Born in early May, Gianna Grace Roberts made her quiet debut during the American Idol live episode on May 5, when producers shared a brief hospital photo and Roberts proudly announced her birth.
At the time, he didn’t go into detail. Now, the 27-year-old father of three has shared personal photos of baby Gianna on Instagram, delighting fans across the country.
“Hey World, Meet My Little Ladybug”: Jamal Introduces Gianna Grace
On May 16, Roberts posted a sweet photo of his baby girl dressed in a ladybug outfit, captioning the image:
“Hey world, meet my little ladybug 😩, Gianna Grace Roberts. I’m so proud to be her father 😭 #girldadforlife #idol”
The proud dad also shared two more heart-melting photos:
One image featured baby Gianna wearing a custom t-shirt printed with photos of Roberts performing on American Idol, alongside the phrases:
“My Dad is the Next American Idol” and “Vote Jamal Roberts — Meridian Proud, Meridian Strong, Meridian United.”
Another photo showed Gianna peacefully napping in a lavender and cream outfit, snuggling with a matching pacifier.
Why Jamal Is Keeping Gianna’s Mom’s Identity a Secret
Roberts has chosen to keep the identity of Gianna’s mother private, telling viewers during the May 5 live broadcast:
“It was so personal to me, I did not share it. But I have a healthy, beautiful, baby girl born today.”
He had not previously mentioned the pregnancy or the upcoming birth during his time on the show, opting to keep the news within his inner circle.
His Other Daughters Are Already in the Idol Spotlight
Gianna is Jamal’s third daughter. His two older girls, Harmoni (6) and Lyrik (3), have frequently been seen supporting their dad in the Idol audience and joined him during his Meridian homecoming parade.
Both girls appeared in local celebrations and are expected to be featured in hometown segment footage during the American Idol Season 23 finale, as Roberts competes against Breanna Nix and John Foster for the title.
