Post Malone has added one more title to his name — daddy!
More than a month after the rapper dropped the bomb that he was expecting his first child, Malone again shook the internet with the news that his now-fiancée has safely given birth.
True to his low-key nature, the "Sunflower" rapper didn't share the wonderful news via a social media announcement. Instead, he subtly opened up about his family's newest addition during an interview.
Post Malone Welcomes Daughter With Fiancée
On Monday, the nine-time Grammy Award made an appearance on Sirius XM's "The Howard Stern Show" to discuss his upcoming album and other happenings in his life.
When Stern asked a question about the time he woke up to go to the recording studio, the rapper shared, "I woke up at 2:30 in the afternoon and went and kissed my baby girl and played some video games."
The host was caught by surprise and interrupted Malone's narration asking if he was referring to his girlfriend as "baby girl." The rapper calmly answered, "no, that's my daughter."
Stern, who was clearly surprised by the great news, told the "Wrath of Man" star, "That's been on the QT [quiet] though? We didn't know you had a daughter, right? You keep all that quiet."
The 10-time Billboard Music Award winner then explained why he kept the news a secret, saying he wanted his loved ones to make "their own decisions" about such big announcements.
When Stern dug deeper to understand the dynamics of being a new father alongside being a partner to his girlfriend, Malone clarified that he was actually engaged and she was his "fiancée"
The 'Congratulations' Rapper Gushed About Becoming A Father
As The Blast previously reported, the 26-year-old first shared the news of becoming a father in May during a run-in with TMZ.
With a smile on his face, the "Rockstar" rapper gushed about having a child, saying, "I’m excited for this next chapter of my life; I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, and for since I could remember, I was sad."

He added, "Time to take care of my body and my family and friends, and spread as much love as we can every day."
At the time, a source confirmed to the publication that Malone and his mystery girlfriend had an intimate baby shower with close friends and family in Southern California.
The news of a child on the way was a double celebration for the New York native who was set to release his fourth studio album, "Twelve Carat Toothache," in June.
Malone's third album “Hollywood’s Bleeding,” was released in 2019 and he has been on the down-low ever since.
However, the news of a new project in the works alongside that of a baby was a breath of fresh air to fans who were worried about his whereabouts.
Who Is Post Malone's Fiancée?
Amid opening up about his personal life like never before, Maline has been careful enough not to share the identity of his now-fiancée.
However, per reports, the social woman in the rapper's life is believed to be Jamie. Malone and the mystery woman have been spotted in public together a couple of times but no one knows anything for sure.
Before Jamie came into the picture, the father-of-one was linked to a couple of women, including Korean artist MLMA. However, his only known relationship was with Ashlen Diaz.
The pair were together for three years before calling it quits in 2018. Following their breakup, Malone got into legal trouble when he was sued by Diaz's attorney over their breakup settlement.
As The Blast covered, Diaz's legal team negotiated a settlement between the former couple and entered into a “contingency fee” agreement with the ex-girlfriend to represent her in a civil suit.
However, Malone allegedly settled Diaz on the side without her lawyers causing them to lose out on their portion of the settlement.
In the court documents, the attorneys from Martorell Law in Los Angeles claimed Malone, "proposed, coerced and pressured her to discharge [the lawyers] so that he could settle [the case] alone and gain the benefit of her not having the assistance of [her lawyers]."
