TLC's T-Boz reveals adoption plans during court case

ADOPTION NEWS: T-Boz (right) with Chilli

TLC MEMBER T-Boz is reportedly planning to extend her family.

The No Scrubs hitmaker - real name Tionne Watkins - is adopting a child, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

The star's baby joy has been revealed in an ongoing $40 million (£2.6m) lawsuit against her and fellow surviving TLC member Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas by their ex-manager, Perri 'Pebbles' Reed.

According to the documents, T-Boz was asked if she had any contact with Chilli about the ongoing lawsuit but said their only communication had been about her impending bundle of joy.

T-Boz is already mother to a 14-year-old daughter with rapper Mack 10.

In an interview in 2012, the singer expressed interest in adopting a child from Haiti following the devastation done to the Caribbean country.

She said: "I had thought about adopting a child for years but when I heard about the incident, kids possibly not having parents, I thought I should go ahead and adopt someone."

T-Boz and Chilli - who were joined in TLC by the late Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes - are being sued by their ex-manager Reid over her portrayal in a TV movie about their rise to fame.

In the multi million dollar filed in 2014, Reid claims the film falsely depicts her as pressing Chilli to have an abortion for the sake of the group's success and paying the girls just $25 (£16) a week.
