Chris Brown you ARE the father!- Regina S.

Chris Brown is a daddy y'all! It turns out Chris is the father to a 9 month old baby girl! Who is the mother you ask? 31 year-old former model named Nia whom sources say has been close with the singer for years TMZ reports:

The baby's mother is a 31-year-old former model named Nia -- who we're told has known Chris for several years.

Sources connected to both Nia and Chris tell us they are on very good terms -- however they're not together romantically. We're told 25-year-old Chris is happy about being a father.

It does not appear there is a formal child support order in place -- and we do not know the nature of any informal terms of support.

Well were surprised Chris had any time to make a baby through all his duties....well maybe not. Congrats Chris! Welcome to parenthood!

(P.S. Karrueche's Instagram has been flooded with baby emojis as fans (and non-fans) are commenting on all of her pics.)
