Before Carly Rae Jepsen‘s daughter came into her life, she missed her so bad — but now the little one is here, as announced by the singer on Tuesday (March 17).

In a post on her Instagram Story, Jepsen revealed that she and husband Cole Marsden Greif-Neill, aka Cole M.G.N., had welcomed their first child. Sharing a photo of herself holding her baby on Instagram Stories, the hitmaker wrote, “Last 2 weeks have been the best of my life.”


“Welcome to the world little one,” Jepsen added.

The Billboard Hot 100-topping artist and Cole M.G.N. got married in October, tying the knot at the iconic Chelsea Hotel in New York City just over a year after announcing their engagement. “We 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,” Jepsen told Vogue at the time.

A few months later, the pop artist announced that she and the producer were expecting their first child by posting photos of her bump and writing, “Oh hi baby.”

Jepsen last dropped a new album in 2023, following up 2022’s Billboard 200 No. 19 hit The Loneliest Time with The Loveliest Time. She has five entries on the chart in total, including 2016’s EMOTION. She recently celebrated that album’s 10-year anniversary by dropping a special expanded edition of the album featuring new songs “More,” “Guardian Angel,” “Back Of My Heart” and “Lost In Devotion.”
