Darren Criss Welcomes First Baby With Mia Swier: ‘M & D Made Some Candy Music’

Darren Criss has come a great distance since his days at Dalton Academy. As of Friday (April 15), the 35-year-old actor is formally a dad!

Criss, who rose to fame taking part in Blaine Anderson on Glee — the place he was all the time comfortable to belt out a cappella preparations of Katy Perry hits along with his fellow Warblers — is switching up the playlist and exhibiting off his new “music” to the world. In an Instagram submit asserting the beginning of his first youngster with spouse Mia Swier, he joked that his new daughter was “Out now.”

“M & D made some candy music,” he wrote in his caption. ⁣”Bluesy Belle Criss⁣. 4/11/22⁣. Out now.”

The submit included a photograph of the Hollywood actor huddled along with his spouse on a hospital mattress because the proud mother and father gazed down at their tiny child, rocking a really trendy bow on her head.

Criss has stored up the lovely joke evaluating his daughter to music since he and Swier first introduced they have been pregnant. The couple posted a video to Instagram in October that confirmed them sitting in a music studio, taking part in an audio file of the child’s ultrasound-recorded heartbeat. “We’ve been making music for years… However this time we made a BEAT,” he captioned the submit. “The last word collab droppin Spring 2022.”

Sadly, there’s one crucial individual that isn’t right here to have fun Criss’ new daughter with him. His brother Charles handed away by suicide final month, one thing the Broadway performer introduced in a transferring tribute submit on Instagram. “I’ve spent what already looks like a small eternity attempting to wrap my head round it, one thing I believe I’ll be making an attempt to do for the remainder of my life,” he wrote on the time. “‘Charles & Darren’ have been an inseparable, dynamic duo. We shared almost every little thing and seemed out for one another.”
