Singer Carly Rae Jepsen has confirmed the birth of her first child with husband Cole Marsden Greif-Neill, announcing the news on Instagram on March 17. “Last two weeks have been the best of my life,” she wrote. “Welcome to the world little one.”
The photo accompanying the post showed the newborn dressed in a green striped onesie and matching bonnet. Jepsen, 40, announced her pregnancy in November 2025, four months after the couple married at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City on October 4, 2025.
Jepsen and Greif-Neill, a music producer who works professionally as Cole M.G.N., first met during a songwriting session in 2021 and began dating the following year. They became engaged in September 2024. Speaking to Vogue about their wedding, Jepsen described the ceremony as unexpectedly joyful. “The energy was just light and joyful,” she said. “Walking down the aisle felt like a fever dream.” She added that the day exceeded both of their expectations. “It was better than either one of our wildest dreams.”
