Chris Brown is a baby daddy?

I guess when you are a successful young artist...and a playboy, chances are you may have spawned a child...somewhere. TMZ reported on Tuesday that Chris Brown is the proud father of a 9-month-old baby girl. Read the rest of the report below.

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.
