The past few months have felt like an emotional rollercoaster for her. Performing on massive stages, facing unexpected health scares, touring across Europe — all while something deeply personal was quietly unfolding behind the scenes. Only those closest to her knew how much her life — and she herself — had changed.
Fans still remember the shocking hospitalization last year when she collapsed during dinner with friends. Doctors discovered blood clots around her vital organs — her condition was critical. But she didn’t just survive — she came back stronger.
And now, it seems life has handed her its most joyful surprise yet. She’s preparing for a role no stage could ever replicate — the role of becoming a mother.
32-year-old Grammy-winning singer Tori Kelly has officially confirmed that she’s expecting her first child with her husband, basketball player Andre Murillo. In a statement to People, she shared: “This year has already been full of highs — performing in stadiums all summer, writing the most personal songs of my career, and now starting a family with my amazing husband.”
This announcement feels even more meaningful in light of her recent battle for her life. In July 2023, Tori was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. During those terrifying days, Andre became her rock — in life and in prayer. “Fear gripped me hard,” he wrote at the time, “but God is bigger than my fears.”
Tori, who first gained attention on American Idol, has come a long way — from hospital recovery to touring with Ed Sheeran. And now, she’s about to embark on her most important debut yet — motherhood.
