Chris Brown appreciates every moment he gets with his kids — Royalty, Aeko and Lovely.
Brown became a father for the first time when he learned he had an 8-month-old daughter with model Nia Guzman. Royalty was born in 2014, and Brown’s fatherhood was confirmed via a paternity test the following year. He quickly made his fatherhood a focal point in his life, even naming his seventh studio album after her.
The “Don't Wake Me Up” singer went on to welcome son Aeko with his ex-girlfriend Ammika Harris in 2019 and daughter Lovely with Diamond Brown in 2022.
"I have a co-parenting job that's pretty amazing, but learning how to be a dad, especially learning how to take care of somebody else ... I barely know how to brush my teeth in the morning!" he said On Air with Ryan Seacrest of the challenges of becoming a father in 2015.
"It's actually great,” he added of the experience. “It's very humbling. It's very calming. I think I was a lot, you know, rambunctious, very hyper as a kid, but now seeing that 10 times over, my daughter's kind of mellowing me out."
Here's everything to know about Chris Brown’s kids: Royalty, Aeko and Lovely.
Royalty Brown, 9
Royalty Brown was born on May 27, 2014. Though Brown shares his oldest child with Nia Guzman, he didn’t know about her until she was about 8 months old in March 2015, according to TMZ.
Since then, he and Guzman have shared custody of their daughter. She has one sister, Sinatra, through her mother, and two siblings, Aeko and Lovely, through her dad.
Shortly after meeting his daughter, Brown named his seventh studio album after his little girl. “MY NEW ALBUM WILL BE NAMED ‘ROYALTY’ ” he announced on X (formerly Twitter) in August of that same year.
Before the project was released in December, the rapper revealed the album cover on Instagram, which featured a black-and-white photo of him holding Royalty.
Today, the father and daughter share a special relationship. She called him the ”best daddy ever” on Instagram for Father’s Day in 2022. The duo have also shared videos doing fun activities, like Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios, going to the Grammy Awards and dancing together.
Though Royalty only began 4th grade in 2023, she is already involved in several businesses. She shares a vitamin C brand with her sister Sinatra and she is a brand ambassador for Fashion Nova on Instagram, where she has more than 1 million followers.
In December 2023, she added the title of jewelry designer to her résumé. “THE QUEEN JUST DROPPED HER JEWELRY LINE,” Brown announced on Instagram. “LET'S GO MOMMA.”
The Go Go Lush collection features cute, colorful pieces. “Whether you get the perfect matching mommy and me set, twin necklaces with your bestie, or it's just for you, I know you all will look amazing in my jewelry and I can't wait to see it!” Royalty shared about the collaboration.
Aeko Catori Brown, 4
Brown welcomed his second child, son Aeko Catori Brown, on Nov. 20, 2019, with his ex-girlfriend, Harris.
The "Sensational" vocalist revealed the news when he posted a black-and-white image of himself looking down, presumably at his second child, with the caption, “11-20-2019.”
The following month, Brown shared his son’s name for the first time, and a few days later, he gave fans a first look at Aeko.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, he compared his own baby photos next to his son's. “He just stole my whole face,” the Grammy-winning artist wrote. He also shared sweet pictures from the delivery room.
Aeko celebrated his 4th birthday in 2023 with a Bluey-themed party. Both parents were in attendance, and Harris posted lots of photos where their son looked like he was having a fun time.
Nowadays, Brown's middle child is dabbling in modeling. He can be seen in several promotional photos and videos for the children’s clothing company PatPat on his mom’s Instagram account.
Lovely Symphani Brown, 2
Lovely Symphani Brown was born on Jan. 7, 2022, and her mother, Diamond, shared the big news on her Instagram.
"The princess is here! Lovely Symphani Brown🤎," she wrote at the time. "My sweet babygirl, it's been a whole day you've been in the world and have already shown me the true meaning of life. I promise to love and protect you always. Forever yours, mommy."
Later that spring, Diamond celebrated Lovely's turning 3 months, and Brown shared the post on his Instagram Story, confirming that he was her father.
"I gave you life, but really, you gave me mine. HAPPY 3 months my little firecracker!" Diamond captioned a picture of Lovely in a red Gucci onesie. For his part, Brown added several heart emojis.
The parents teamed up to throw Lovely a memorable 1st birthday party in 2023, complete with a pony, roses and lots of pink. Diamond shared a snap of the trio posing together at the event with the caption, “what a LOVELY day!”
