Michael Clifford of 5 Seconds of Summer announced on Monday that he is set to become a father for the first time.
The baby news came in an Instagram post with a set of photos of the 27-year-old musician and his wife Crystal Leigh, 33, that he captioned “you’re already everything … baby clifford 11/11/23.”
Clifford told People he is excited but nervous. “I've been a dog dad for a long time,” he said, “so I think I'm ready for a small human to take care of and communicate with conversationally after eight years of one-sided dog convos!”
In January 2022, Clifford revealed that he and Leigh had tied the knot a year earlier. He popped the question in 2019 at the Ungasan Clifftop Resort in Bali. “In the last 3 years she has helped evolve and shape who I am in ways I could never have imagined,” he shared at the time. “I couldn’t ask for anyone better to spend the rest of my life with.”
