While Malone hasn’t revealed his daughter’s name or her exact birth date, PEOPLE confirmed that the rapper and his fiancée welcomed their first child in May 2022.
According to TMZ, sources close to the rapper shared that the parents-to-be held aprivate party for family and friendsin Southern California during the last weekend in April 2022 to celebrate their soon-to-be-born daughter.
Malone has never publicly identified his fiancée or posted about their relationship on social media. He first referred to his longtime girlfriend as his fiancée in June 2022 onThe Howard Stern Show.
A year later, during an interview on theCall Her Daddypodcast, Malone shared the couple’sengagement story.
“It was in [Las] Vegas,” he told Alex Cooper. “I had lost a significant amount of money at the table. We go upstairs and I’m off my rocker hammered and I was like, ‘Hey, you wanna marry me?' I got a ring and all this stuff. And she said ‘no.’ She’s like, ‘Ask me tomorrow,’ and I was like, ‘Alright.’ And then I did and I was sober and it was nice.”
The “Better Now” singer added that he just knew she was the “right” one for him.
“I could tell … her heart is so massive,” he said. “I’ve always wanted kids and a big family. And I could tell she was going to be a really good mama. And she’s like No. 1 mom in the f—ing universe.”
Though her full name hasn’t been revealed yet, Malone did reveal his daughter’s initials: DDP. He got the three letterstattooed on his foreheadabove “Stay Away,” on the rightside of his face.

Malone is still trying to figure out if his infant daughter is a fan of his music, but as he toldGQ, so far, so good.
“I can’t tell yet. She hasn’t cried whenever I put my music on so far, which I think is a good sign, but we’ll wait and find out. I got to let her decide,” he said. “I tried to play her some stuff but I can’t really tell what she’s into right now.”
“She’s going to have to like my music, I think, [or] she’s going to get used to it — I know everybody at the house plays it for her and hopefully, they’ll get stuck in her head,” he continued. “Kids love my music for some reason, which is awesome, so I’m hoping that she just goes with the flow on that one.”
He did concede that she might hate his music simply because it’s her dad’s. “… She’ll be like, “Dad, you suck. Just go away.”
In 2022, Malone collaborated withMoose Knuckleson a gender-neutral, sherpa-and-camo capsule collection that included children’s styles.
His daughter might be too tiny for Moose Knuckles now, but the “Congratulations” rapper believes it’s never too soon to get fitted for some camo duds.
“She’s so swaggy. We got her overalls, Realtree camo everything, some nice hoodies, some zip-ups,” he told the outlet. “She’s so cool. She’s way cooler than me but she definitely took a little inspiration from me.”

“I love playing her lullabies,” Malone toldGQof playing music for his daughter. “They make lullabies of my songs. Those are nice to listen to. Sometimes we’ll even put it on and I’ll have to guess what song it is and I just forget all the melodies. I’m like, “What song is this?' "
Since becoming a father, Malone has focused on living a healthier lifestyle.
In April 2023, heposted a photoof himself lounging in bed while on tour in Antwerp, Belgium. In the caption, he addressed questions about his weight loss. “I guess dad life kicked in and i decided to kick soda, and start eating better so i can be around for a long time for this little angel,” he wrote. “Next up is smokes and brews, but i like to consider myself a patient man… lol!”
“I’m the happiest i’ve been in a long time,” he added.
A few months later, Malone told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that he’s partied less since the birth of his daughter.
The “Rockstar” singer is very protective of his daughter’s privacy.
