‘I Hope Baby Likes Music’: Charlie Puth Is Ready For Fatherhood

If Charlie Puth is nervous about becoming a dad, he’s not showing it.

The pop artist was the musical guest Tuesday night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he performed his new song “Changes” and sat for a chat with the late-night show’s host.

At the top, Puth confirmed what many of his fans already. “I’m gonna be a dad,” he told Fallon.

We’re aware of the good news because Puth used the music video for “Changes” as the platform for his big reveal. Around the 2:30 mark in the Charlotte Rutherford-directed clip, Puth and his wife Brooke Sansone both place their hands on her belly, a sign that changes are coming. 

“I didn’t leave much up to the imagination there,” he told Fallon. “But yeah, we’re expecting a baby in March.”

He’s not giving away the gender just yet, but it’s safe to say the bub will be immersed in music. Puth plans to revisit what him mom did for him, by placing headphones on Sansone’s pregnant tummy.

“I hope baby likes music, because it’s the only thing I’m good at,” he quips. “I think I listened to James Taylor and Luther Vandross, I got a wide array of music. So I’ll do the same thing, whether Brooke likes it or not.”

This will be the first child for the Puth and Sansone, who began dating in 2022 and were married in September 2024.

Puth stuck around the NBC studio for a performance of “Changes,” lifted from his forthcoming fourth studio album Whatever’s Clever!, also due out next March, for what will be a busy month for the growing family.

Whatever’s Clever!, will be Puth’s fourth album and a follow-up to 2022’s Charlie, which yielded the Billboard Hot 100 top 40 singles “Light Switch” and “Left and Right” (with BTS’ Jung Kook).
