A young talent from American Idol, now just 16 years old, is thrilled to share with the world that he will soon be welcoming his first child with his wife.

Triston Harper recently took to his social media channels to broadcast this heartwarming announcement.

Many might remember Harper’s stunning performances during the 22nd season of the singing competition. Aged only 15, he wowed audiences with his rendition of ‘Cover Me Up’ by Jason Isbell.

His performance not only captured the viewers’ hearts but also received acclaim from the show’s star-studded judging panel. Lionel Richie appreciated his ‘storytelling voice,’ while Katy Perry remarked on his ‘old soul.’

Once again, Harper finds himself in the spotlight, this time as a soon-to-be father, which has sparked a mix of reactions among fans, particularly considering his young age.

A few voiced their concerns, with one person commenting, “Two babies having a baby. They don’t even know how to manage their own lives, much less a baby’s.”

However, not everyone shares this sentiment. Many fans have come forward to offer their congratulations and support. One admirer pointed out, “They both look happy, they have support,” and another shared, “Glad he is married and willing to step into a family role.”

The cheerful news was officially announced by Harper on November 8, when he posted a picture of a positive pregnancy test.

In response to the announcement, Harper’s mother expressed her excitement: “Now everybody has congratulated me on Triston and Paris getting married but to me, that is old news but now I’m bout to be a ‘G Ma.”

In an interesting turn of events, it was just a mere two days before this pregnancy revelation that the young couple had tied the knot.

A heartfelt congratulations to Triston and Paris as they embark on this new chapter of their lives as a growing family!
