For better or worse, we’re a society that thrives on instant gratification, especially when it comes to celebrity news.
If someone just had a baby, let’s see the first picture! If Hollywood’s hottest couple just got married, who was invited?
Post Malone doesn’t want to be apart of that. While he’s currently enjoying his fame, the 28-year-old rapper wants to keep his personal life private.
Austin Post, known professionally as Post Malone, recently opened up about the importance of keeping his private life away from the spotlight.
“I feel like a lot of people feel entitled to know every single detail of everyone’s life and it’s why I don’t want to post any pictures of my baby, because I want her to be able to make that decision whenever she wants to and is ready,” he told CR Fashion Book.
“We live in such an interestingly semi-connected world where everybody is a phone call away, but you lose a lot of the intricacies and nuance of being with the person and seeing what’s actually happening.”
Malone would rather he be the one who is in control of sharing his family’s news with the world.
Unlike many, the father of one did not announce the birth of his daughter, instead he casually slipped the news of his daughter’s arrival into a conversation with Howard Stern in June 2022.
“I want to let her make her own decisions,” he told Stern when confronted about keeping his daughter a secret.
Even the mother of his daughter, who is his fiancée, is unknown.
It wasn’t until summer 2023 Malone revealed he asked his longtime girlfriend to marry him, and she initially said no!
Malone said the proposal happened in Las Vegas two years earlier after he had lost “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.”
