At the end of May, the world-famous artist Jason Derulo (31) was able to announce that he had become a father for the very first time. He had his little son with his girlfriend Jena Frumes (26).
The baby news shared Derulo on Instagram at the same time as he revealed that the son has been named Jason King Derulo. It has now been almost two months since the artist became a father, and in an interview with People he now eases the veil on life as a father of small children.
Named the son after himself
In the interview, Derulo says that he has always had a feeling that he was going to have a boy. Since the artist’s brother and sister are the parents of girls, he hoped to have a boy so that he could continue the family name.
He had a son, and because the son was to take on this responsibility, Derulo wanted to make him a junior by naming him after himself.

– I wanted my name to continue to be out there, and I also thought it would bring me closer to him, the artist explains about the name choice.
However, it is not just the name of the son he mentions in the interview. He is also honest about the challenges as a toddler dad.
Reveals unusual baby name
– The biggest challenge is to get up. Sometimes I wake up with one eye and think: “I do not know how she (boyfriend, journ.anm.) Manages it”. Jena has been a superhero in all of this. I’ve been very, very, very lucky. She’s really amazing with him and she’s definitely the leader in all of this. I take my hat off to her, he says about his girlfriend.
Met at the gym
Jason Derulo and Jena Frumes met for the first time at a fitness center just before the pandemic. In an interview with Page Six Derulo has previously revealed details of their first meeting.

“I have been very private all this trip, which has given me so much peace. It is MY choice not to show the baby’s face online. Many people feel entitled to express opinions that NO ONE asks for. My baby is beautiful and healthy, but at this point, my baby is brand new to this world. I refuse to let the negative energy of social media mess with our family’s energy “, was among what she wrote.
