The 22-year-old member of the band PRETTYMUCH has welcomed his first child, Theodore Hudson William Porter, into the world with longtime love Ansley Mitchell.

“So today i became a father to the most amazing baby boy Theodore Hudson William Porter I can’t wait to watch him grow and do great things!” he wrote on Instagram. “I know you guys will have questions, and I can’t wait to share with you what we’ve been through. But right now I ask that you give me and ansley time to settle in to being parents! Thank you for all your support much love -the porter family❤️”

“Last night I gave birth to my first child completely natural 💪🏽 I labored for three full days with absolutely no pain medication and birthed the sweetest little soul completely natural at 7:04 pm. Theodore Hudson William Porter weighed 7lbs10oz at birth and measured 21.5inches. Theodore Hudson I am so happy you made me a mama. Mommy and daddy are gonna love you forever 🖤,” Ansley wrote. “I sadly had some complications. I hemorrhaged right after delivery and lost a lot of blood very fast and had to get rushed by the paramedics to the the nearest hospital emergency room. I’m in the hospital now and will be for possibly a few days. So sadly I can’t see Theo or Austin at all till I’m out due to hospital restrictions because of covid-19 but I’m glad they are at home happy and healthy and safe ❤️”

Some of Austin‘s bandmates reacted to the news in the comments of his post.

“Im an uncle!!!! Love you bro ❤️,” Edwin Hornet wrote.

“THEOOOOOOO ✨,” Brandon Arreaga commented.

PRETTYMUCH are totally open with their fans.

The guys – Brandon Arreaga, Edwin Honoret, Austin Porter, Nick Mara, and Zion Kuwonu – revealed some of their “firsts” during a new interview with BuzzFeed Celeb.

Brandon took the first question and revealed the first time he was ever recognized in public.

“One of the first ones I can remember is actually being in Target,” he said. “Yeah I was in Target, I was grabbing stuff for the house, actually and I was so thrown off because somebody called my name and I thought it was somebody, like a friend I knew, and then when they asked for a picture I was like…oh, this is…I’m supposed to take a picture with you now. So I was probably really awkward.”

The guys also shared their first celebrity encounters, the first bandmate they go to for advice, first celebrity crushes, and more.

PRETTYMUCH are sharing their behind-the-scenes secrets!

The guys – Brandon Arreaga, Edwin Honoret, Austin Porter, Nick Mara, and Zion Kuwonu – recently sat down together for an interview with radio host Zach Sang and got real about their songwriting process.

During the chat, Brandon revealed that the guys don’t write all of their songs as a group.

“When there’s five people, it’s a little too overwhelming…because we all have ideas…What I love is that everyone brings something different to the table…[For example,] I love working with Austin because he will say something that I would never think of…and then I have a whole new outlook,” he explained.

That doesn’t mean that creating a PRETTYMUCH bop isn’t a group effort though. Edwin added that the guys have all learned a lot from each other as artists since forming the band.

“In the beginning, we all had our strengths and weaknesses but now living together, and pushing each other and motivating each other, we’ve gotten to a point where we’re molding into…my strength…becoming his strength…learning from each other, little by little,” he said.
