Chris Brown: Troubled Singer is a Father?

Word is that Chris Brown is a proud papa to a 9-month-old baby girl, according to TMZ's sources.

The "Look at Me Now" singer has known the baby's 31-year-old mother, a former model named Nia, for years. According to TMZ, both parents say they are on good terms but not involved romantically.

Brown is happy to be a father, according to TMZ. There isn't a formal child support order in place and according to TMZ, no information regarding an informal arrangement has been disclosed.

Brown should have his hands full, as all daddies do, keeping their baby girls away from men like... well, like him.
