Who is Leilani Malia Mendoza? Brian McKnight gets criticism for naming his baby after the son he gave up.
The American singer-songwriter Brian McKnight and his wife, Dr. Leilani Malia Mendoza, just had their third child.
With this new baby, Brian now has a total of six children. On Instagram on Monday, January 23, 2023, the 53-year-old and his wife wrote:
Brian also has two children, Brian Jr., and Niko, with his ex-wife, Julie McKnight.
After posting the name of his new baby on social media, McKnight got a lot of negative feedback from people who thought he had given up on his older son Brian because he named his new baby Brian. One person on social media also said that the singer isn't taking care of his older children and is more interested in "popping" new ones.
Also, Brian McKnight's current wife, Leilani Malia Mendoza, a Filipino-Hawaiian pediatric neurophysiologist at UCLA, was there when the baby was born. Jack and Julia are the names of the 45-year-other old's two children.
People on the Internet say that Brian McKnight "erased" his older son by giving his new baby the same name as his older son.
Soon after Brian posted on social media that he was going to be a dad again, people criticized him. Many of them brought up old rumors that Brian McKnight had left his older son, Brian Jr.
Several people on the Internet called the whole thing "sick stuff" and pointed out that the singer is said to not care about his two sons and two daughters. On the post, someone wrote:
"He has a son named Brian already! This is strange in so many ways. Especially since he gave up all of his other children! He doesn't even care about his two sons and two daughters. Sick stuff."
Even Twitter was full of people talking about how McKnight named his son Brian.
Leilani is a doctor who specializes in brain problems in children. This is a very different job than the one her husband has.
Before she met Brian, she was in a relationship. From that relationship, she had Julia, who is 24 years old, and Jack, who is 22 years old.
