Excited lead guitarist for 5 Seconds of Summer, Michael Clifford, has announced he’s going to be a dad in the cutest way.
The 27-year-old is the first of his band members to announce he will soon be welcoming a baby girl into the world with wife Crystal Leigh Lauderdale, 34.
Last month, the pop-punk musician posted a picture of himself and Crystal kissing while holding her pregnant belly and ultrasound scans.
‘You’re already everything 🥹,’ the dad-to-be wrote while friends and fans rushed to congratulate the couple.
In the new pictures, Michael can be seen dressed in a blue shirt and pink beanie hat as he embraces his wife, wearing a pink dress, as pink smoke surrounded them.
Unable to contain his excitement, the Australian guitarist wrote: ‘I’m gonna be a girl dad 🥹💕.’

The couple exude happiness in the series of pictures, with Crystal covering her face in sheer joy at the news.
Michael has the biggest smile in the first snap, looking up in wonder at the pink confetti falling down onto them.
In a later image, he appeared to be crying on his wife’s shoulder with what we can only hope is excitement.
‘This was the craziest moment of my life lol,’ Michael added on his Instagram story with a link to TikTok where he shared a video of everyone’s reactions.
Bandmate Luke Hemmings could be spotted looking shocked at the reveal and it’s assumed the rest of the band – Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin – were also in attendance.
‘Baby Clifford’ is set to arrive on November 11, 2023, and fans were so excited for Michael to be a ‘girl dad’.

‘You were made to be a girl dad,’ said one fan while another wellwisher wrote: ‘Literally meant to be a girl dad omg🥹🥹🥹🥹.’
Actor Taylor Lautner, who recently appeared at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, commented an enthusiastic: ‘Let’s gooooooooooo.’
Sarah Eiseman, friend and photographer, wrote: ‘You were absolutely meant to be a girl dad 🙂 That’s going to be the most loved little girly ever. I’m still crying 🥹💗 love y’all so much.’
Michael and Crystal secretly got married back in 2021 on their fifth anniversary after a year-long engagement.
The pair had been planning to get married in Bali but were forced to postpone their main wedding ceremony due to the coronavirus pandemic, but still wanted to mark the occasion in their own special way.
Michael and Crystal instead held a ‘secret save the date gathering’ with only their wedding party at their new home, which of course included his bandmates.
