Kross Ermias was born in August 2016 and is now five years old.

London shared a photo of Kross on her Instagram back in August 2021 to celebrate his birthday.

"My baby is 5. My Lighthouse My Strength Love 💙 BabyHussle," the mom-of-two wrote.

Who was Nipsey Hussle?

On Wednesday, July 6, 2022, Eric Holder was found guilty of Nipsey's murder.

Nipsey, real name Ermias Davidson Asghedom, was a famous rapper from Los Angeles, California.

Nipsey was fatally shot on March 31, 2019.

He was very successful before his death and remains relevant to this day.

In February 2018, he released his studio album, Victory Lap.

In 2019, he was nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Best Rap Album.

He went on to win two GRAMMYs out of five total nominations throughout his career.

The shooting, outside his Marathon Clothing store in South Los Angeles, came just hours after Hussle wrote about having "strong enemies"; on Twitter.

Hussle's "strong enemy" revealed himself to be Eric Holder Jr.

On February 22, 2023, Holder was sentenced to 60 years to life in prison in connection to the murder of Nipsey Hussle.

During testimony, the rapper's friend stated an argument unfolded between Nipsey and Holder due to rumors that Holder leaked information to law enforcement officials.

Holder was additionally charged with two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter and assault with a firearm for wounding two other men.

What did Lauren London say about their family?

Lauren London opened up about life's challenges on Jay Shetty's podcast On Purpose in 2022.

"When you have this plan for your life, as you should, if or when that gets derailed, and you have plan B now to go off that you didn't plan on, it is the ultimate test of surrender," the actress, 37, told host Shetty.

"Because at the end of the day as much control as we think we have, we do not.

"It's actually very powerful to surrender — we think that it's a weakness, but it's so much power in letting go and flowing with the river because life is going to do what it's going to do," she said.

"We are all going to get chin-checked by life one way or another — so I might as well focus on my enlightenment and roll with the river and not fight with the rocks."

On August 15, 2021, on what would have been the late rapper's 36th birthday, London posted about him on Instagram.
