People magazine reports that Paris Bennett had a her baby Monday afternoon. A girl, Egypt Bennett, was born at 3:36 p.m. weighing in at 5 lbs., 15 oz.
“I’m so excited to finally see my little angel – and man, does she have lungs on her,” the first-time mom said. “I guess she’s gearing up to be the next American Idol.”
Bennett, known as “Princess P” on the fifth season of Idol, was in labor for five hours before giving birth.
Congratulations, Paris! Her Christmas album, A Royal Christmas, drops on October 14.

I’m really having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that she has a child. I haven’t seen her since Idol and it seems that time should have stood still.
bye bye music career
Congrats to Princess P! Now, where’s my CD?
Congratulations to Paris!
Duke, did ya know that Aretha Franklin had a kid at around Paris’ age? Even younger if I remember correctly…..not saying it’s gonna be easy, but mothers work all of the time.
I’m looking for that cd too, and not the xmas crap. I don’t buy xmas music, not even from Ms. Bennett.
I hope Paris and Egypt are happy and healthy!
I heard she was releasing a jazz album, and I thought it was this month. Guess I was wrong….
Now a jazz album I would buy. Congrats Paris!
So, the father chooses not to be in the public’s eye….
Just curious — are they engaged to be married ?
According to this post from June, she is engaged. I haven’t heard anything different.
Egypt is a beautiful name, and I hope mother and child are well and happy.
As for her music career…yes, it probably will be harder with a child, but certainly not impossible. I suppose it depends a lot on what kind of career she wants to have.
