Post Malone is expecting his first child

Massive congratulations to the pair!

Post Malone and his partner are expecting their first child.

The 26-year-old said he is the happiest he has ever been as he announced today that his long term girlfriend - whom he has never identified publicly - is pregnant.

"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!" he told TMZ.

"Time to take care of my body and my family and friends, and spread as much love as we can every day."

An insider told TMZ that Malone - real name Austin Post - "celebrated the baby-to-be with a private party for friends and family in Southern California over the weekend but [his girlfriend] is not someone who has spent any time in the spotlight and two have been happy privately building their relationship, which will soon turn into a family!"

The announcement comes just days after Malone announced that his fourth album 'Twelve Carat Toothache' will be arriving in June.

The star dropped lead single 'One Right Now' - a collaboration with The Weeknd - almost six months ago, and his manager Dre London previously claimed that the album would be released in May.
