Jennifer Hudson throws baby shower in Chicago

After months of denying pregnancy rumors, Jennifer Hudson reached a point where she had no choice but to confirm the news this weekend when her baby shower was held in her hometown of Chicago. That, and the fact that she is seven months along the way according to The Chicago Sun-Times. Per People.com:

Felicia Fields, a longtime friend of the Hudson, confirmed to the paper that the event happened on Saturday.

"It was a baby shower, a quiet gathering of friends and mostly family," Fields, also a singer and actress, said of a gathering in a relative's home. "They're really trying to keep it kind of quiet."

She added: "It was a nice time that we had."

So as uneventful as the gathering sounds since no media was able to sneak a peek of the shower, Jennifer probably was appreciative that she just got to enjoy time with her family and friends. The excitement for Jennifer must be even higher since she and fiance David Otunga have not had the baby's gender disclosed.

The couple's wedding date is still to be determined, but something tells me she'll keep that under wraps until the very end as well.
