Michael Blackson’s introducing his son to the world … though his own introduction to the kid was a bit delayed — ’cause his need for caffeine made him miss the birth!
We caught up with the comedian and his fiancée Rada Cheang — also known as Rada Darling — at LAX Thursday … and, we got a glimpse of their son Bruce Leroy, with their consent of course.
He’s a cute kid … though his dad’s already ribbing him about his looks — life of a comedian’s son, we suppose.

Rada says she’s the one mainly getting up for the kiddo … and, Michael admits his major job has to do with paying for the kid’s lifestyle.
We ask Michael if he was in the delivery room … and, he says he was — but, he left before the baby came out to get a cup of joe, and he missed his son’s first moment on earth.
He says he was about 30 to 45 minutes late to the birth … no doubt made worse when he got lost and ended up at the wrong hospital on his way back from the coffee shop.
Blackson and Rada say it’s a good thing Michael missed it … ’cause Rada said it reduced her stress that her man wasn’t in the room cracking jokes — and, Blackson says he didn’t exactly want to see the baby coming out of you-know-where.
Michael made it up to Rada, though … “push presents” galore for his better half!
Moral of the story … might be best to order delivery if you’re jonesing for a coffee while your partner’s in labor!
