Jacky Oh and DC Young Fly welcomed their first daughter, Nova, on Oct. 30, 2016. According to the little one's proud mother, "everyone wants to talk to her" due to her "alluring presence."
"Scorpio, diva, inquisitive, quick learner, picky eater, emotional expressive, affectionate," are just a few character traits Jacky Oh used to describe Nova on Instagram. Plus, she noted that she's "always wearing makeup & high heels."
Those descriptors appear to be accurate based on the adorable photos and videos Jacky Oh had shared on her personal Instagram account, in addition to Nova's page. When she's not posing in beautiful princess dresses, Nova can be seen busting out the best dance moves and lip-syncing to tunes.
In addition to Nova's solo social media appearances, she's also featured in a several photos and videos alongside her mom. "Want my girls to know they can do ANYthing they want & I’m always striving to be the best example for them," Jacky Oh previously captioned a post.

"MY baby @novalicious__ has been being the best big sister ever 🧡 so helpful , nurturing & sassy as she wanna be still," Jacky Oh wrote after giving birth to Nala.
Shortly after the couple began to expand their family, Jacky Oh opened up in a 2017 interview about her decision to hold off on marriage in the wake of welcoming Nova. "No marriage talk yet," she shared with DJ Small Eyez.
"You know if it's not broken, don’t fix it. We're fine, we're chilling, we're both young and just enjoying ourselves, our baby, our little family," she added.
