Post Malone is going to be a dad, and fans are… devastated.
TMZ dropped the bombshell news earlier today, reporting Post and his girlfriend – whom many didn’t know existed until now – celebrated with family and friends in Southern California over the weekend.
“I’m excited for this next chapter in my life, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, and for since I could remember I was sad,” the 26-year old ‘Sunflower’ rapper told TMZ. “Time to take care of my body and my family and friends, and spread as much love as we can every day.”
Whilst Post may be excited for this next chapter in his life, fans are having a harder time coming to terms with it.
“Post Malones having a baby and it’s not with me…?” on fan wrote on Twitter.

Just last month, Post’s manager Dre London announced his new album, Twelve Carat Toothache, would be released soon. More information has now come to light, confirming the album will be released on June 3rd, and is available to pre-save now.
The album will be Post’s first since 2019’s Hollywood’s Bleeding, and is expected to feature tracks with artists including Doja Cat, Roddy Rich and The Kid LAROI, which Post has teased on Instagram lives over recent months.
Post recently surprised a fan dining at Matsuhisa restaurant in Beverly Hills, in a now-viral TikTok video.
Andrew Schumacher was celebrating his 21st birthday at the restaurant with his mother, Nicole, when they saw Post thanking the table next to them for sending over a bottle of sake.
Nicole explained her son, who is autistic, was a big fan and would love to meet the rapper, who was more than happy to oblige:
@ntschu @Post Malone Andrew’s 21st Birthday In LA meeting the kindest superstar ever! #postmalone #autismawareness #matsushisa
Post has managed to keep his private life private, and not much is known about his girlfriend besides the fact she hasn’t spent any time in the spotlight.

Amidst all my pro-choice reposts, I would like to unironically state that I am devastated Post Malone is having a baby with someone other than me.
