Carly Rae Jepsen has always written about love in all its forms: the crush, the heartbreak, the holding on. Now, she\u2019s entering a new kind of love story: expecting her first baby with husband Cole M.G.N.<\/p>\n
The Call Me Maybe<\/em> singer, 39, announced the news on Instagram<\/a> with a simple caption, \u201cOh hi baby \u2764\ufe0f,\u201d<\/em> alongside a series of black-and-white photos showing her growing bump.\u00a0<\/p>\n The pregnancy news comes only weeks after Jepsen and Cole\u2019s wedding at New York City\u2019s storied Chelsea Hotel, a place rich with creative history and personal meaning for the couple. \u201cWe knew we wanted a location that meant something to us, and the Chelsea Hotel had become a home away from home every time we were in New York. As artists, its iconic history and lore made it that much more appealing,\u201d she told Vogue<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Related:<\/strong> Sofia Richie Grainge\u2019s baby news comes with a surprise no one saw coming<\/a><\/p>\n The two met during a songwriting session in 2021, got engaged in Italy in 2024, and tied the knot this fall. Even then, Jepsen hinted that their family plans were already in motion. <\/p>\n \u201cWe knew we were trying to get pregnant<\/a>, so I also wanted an alternative dress that was much more flowy that I could sub in for the ceremony or just change into for dancing,\u201d she told Vogue.<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s the kind of practical detail that makes Jepsen relatable. Yes, she\u2019s a Grammy-nominated pop star. But she\u2019s also someone who planned for comfort on her wedding day because she knew what might be coming next.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a full-circle moment for the pop star who once joked about her \u201cbaby urges\u201d in a 2015 PopCrush<\/em> interview<\/a>, admitting, \u201cAnytime there\u2019s a baby at a meet and greet, I\u2019m like, \u2018Can I hold the baby? Is that gonna be weird if I\u2026 could I keep the baby?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Nearly a decade later, those lighthearted words have come full circle. Fans flooded her post with excitement, coining the nickname \u201cMomly Rae Jepsen\u201d and cheering her on from every corner of the internet.<\/p>\n Jepsen has built a career on songs that make people feel seen. Her next chapter might just do the same.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
