Post Malone is going to be a dad — and “now they always say congratulations!”
Billboard confirmed on Wednesday (May 3) that the “Circles” singer is expecting his a child with his mystery longtime girlfriend. According to TMZ, who first reported the news, the couple celebrated the happy occasion with a small, private party 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,” Post told TMZ. “Time to take care of my body and my family and friends, and spread as much love as we can every day.”
The upcoming bundle of joy will be the star’s first baby, and upon hearing the news, his fans flooded Twitter with excitement and sweet wishes for the dad-to-be. And, of course, a few of them threw in some references to Post’s fittingly titled 2016 breakthrough hit, “Congratulations.”
See below some of the best fan reactions and congratulatory messages.
