Yes, I am surprised as you are. Here's what TMZ who claims they know this for sure says.

"Chris Brown is the proud father of a 9-month-old baby girl ... TMZ has learned. The baby's mother is a 31-year-old former model named Nia -- who we're told has known Chris for several years.

Sources connected to both Nia and Chris tell us they are on very good terms -- however they're not together romantically. We're told 25-year-old Chris is happy about being a father.

It does not appear there is a formal child support order in place -- and we do not know the nature of any informal terms of support.

One thing's for sure ... baby girl looks a lot like Daddy", the media house reports.

It will also be recalled that during his visit to "The Breakfast Club" last month, Chris spoke about remaining faithful to his current girlfriend Karrueche. "The hardest part is trying to keep a monogamous relationship, but still wanting to be the 25-year-old sex symbol," he said. "I love my woman. In the same breath, I like to have fun and she knows I like turning up. Even though it's not a s3xual encounter with females, I just like to be around females," he said.
