Release Body: LAS VEGAS, (April 24, 2008) – Awarding winning
actress Terri J. Vaughn (“The Steve Harvey
Show” and “Daddy’s Little Girls) and her husband,
Karon Riley (Defensive Lineman for Arena Football
League’s Cleveland Gladiators) welcomed a son, Kal’El
Joseph Riley. The 7lbs, 6 oz baby boy arrived April 21,
2008 at 6:05 p.m. in Los Angeles.
Riley,
a first-time dad and Superman fanatic, chose to name his son after
his favorite superhero’s Kryptonian name (Kal-El), which
he interprets to mean “of God-like abilities.”
“I
think the name is very fitting for him—he’s strong,
cool and mellow, just perfect,” said Vaughn. “I
could tell even when I was carrying him inside me because he made
me feel like Superwoman!”
Vaughn and Riley eloped this past January in Las Vegas. Although,
this is their first child together, Vaughn has a six-year-old
son, Daylen Ali from her first marriage.
