Macklemore's daughter broke the news of wife's pregnancy

Macklemore's daughter told him of his wife's pregnancy.

The rapper, real name Ben Haggerty, announced last month (Sep17) that he and spouse Tricia Davis were expecting their second child together. The pair are already parents to two-year-old daughter Sloane, and Macklemore told Entertainment Tonight he found out about the pregnancy when Tricia and Sloane planned a sweet announcement.


"My wife gave (Sloane) the pregnancy test, put it in a fanny pack and said, 'Sloane has a present for you,' and she opened it, gave me the pregnancy test," he smiled. "She broke (the news) to me!"

"It was pretty crazy. I definitely got emotional and I was just in pure shock."

Macklemore had previously stated that he and Tricia were going to find out the gender of their unborn child. However, he added to the outlet they have decided to wait until the big day to find out if it's a boy or girl - although Sloane has already decided what she'd prefer.

"She really wants a sister. If we have a girl, I think she's going to be pumped. If we have a boy, we'll see... We're going to wait (to find out the sex of the baby)," he said.

Prior to the baby's arrival, Marmalade singer Macklemore is enjoying spending as much time as possible as a family of three. It will soon be Halloween, and Sloane has already decided on outfits for herself and her dad.

"She is going to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast... and she wants me to be an owl," he said. "It seems like a really random costume... She's so sure. She's like, 'Daddy, you're going to be an owl.' And then I asked her the next day, thinking she would forget, and she was like, 'You're an owl.'"

Macklemore and Tricia wed in June, 2015 after a two-year engagement.
