Carly Rae Jepsen will soon be singing, “So, call me mommy.”

The “Call Me Maybe” singer announced that her and new husband Cole M.G.N.’s family is growing as they are expecting their first baby together.

Carly shared a slew of black and white photos to her Instagram Nov. 3 that showed the couple lounging on their bed as Cole (real name Cole Marsden Greif-Neill) gently cupped her belly. The 39-year-old captioned the photos, “Oh hi baby.”

Cole, 40, shared his own excitement about the upcoming addition to their family, adding three heart-eye emojis in the comments. 

The news comes just under one month after Carly and Cole tied the knot at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City on Oct. 4. The couple first met during a songwriting session in 2021, but didn’t start dating until the following year. They officially got engaged in September 2024, with Carly writing on Instagram at the time, “Very engaged over here.”

Carly Rae Jepsen and Cole M.G.N. Marry in New York City

Carly Rae Jepsen and Cole M.G.N. have officially tied the knot.

The pop star, 39, and music producer, 40, exchanged vows on Oct. 4 at New York City’s Chelsea Hotel in an intimate ceremony attended by about 100 guests in the iconic building’s Bard Room, according to Vogue.

“We knew we wanted a location that meant something to us, and the Chelsea Hotel had become a home away from home every time we were in New York,” Jepsen told the publication. “As artists, its iconic history and lore made it that much more appealing. For planning, we had weekly dates to talk out all the details of the wedding. This way it was only ever fun and not too much at once.”

On Saturday (Oct. 25), the “Call Me Maybe” singer confirmed the nuptials on social media, sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses from the celebration. Her posts included black-and-white snapshots from inside the Chelsea Hotel and photos in front of NYC’s Broni & Belle Pizzeria.

“Thank you for this magic,” she captioned the Instagram gallery.

Jepsen wore two wedding looks: a strapless corseted gown by Australian designer Toni Maticevski for the ceremony and a tiered dress by Danielle Frankel for the reception. “We knew we were trying to get pregnant, so I also wanted an alternative dress that was much more flowy that I could sub in for the ceremony or just change into for dancing,” she said.

The intimate celebration reportedly featured a surprise performance by Rufus Wainwright, who delivered an a cappella rendition of Leonard Cohen’s 1974 song “Chelsea Hotel #2.”

Jepsen announced her engagement to Cole M.G.N. in September 2024 through Instagram, sharing photos of the couple embracing outdoors and showing off her sparkling engagement ring. “Very engaged over here,” she captioned the post.

Alongside her personal milestone, Jepsen is celebrating the release of the special edition of her 2010 album, Emotion. The 10th anniversary deluxe project, released on Oct. 17, features four brand-new songs and two remixes of her 2015 single “Run Away With Me” by Kyle Shearer and Rostam.

Carly Rae Jepsen: E•mo•tion (10th Anniversary Edition) Album Review

by jummy84
written by jummy84

In the summer of 2015, Carly Rae Jepsen was looking to the future: “My desire now,” she told an interviewer, “is to see how far I can stretch pop.” Her latest moves had evolved from the good-enough charm of Kiss—the album that contained her unexpectedly planet-dominating hit “Call Me Maybe”—into glossier, vintage-inspired territory: gated drums, squealing synths, a couple saxophone solos. ’80s pop rehashed for the new millennium feels staid in its omnipresence today—but remember when it actually felt like a bold new idea, when embracing that moment, in all its schmaltz and sentiment, could represent a genuinely surprising artistic turn?

The first step in claiming Jepsen’s future was E•mo•tion, a record of diamond-sharp songs—now a decade old, re-released as a deluxe 10th anniversary edition. In countless interviews, she has rejected the notion that pop music—hers or anyone else’s—ought to be considered a “guilty pleasure,” and E•mo•tion is, fittingly, a record of full-on pleasure: unselfconscious, effervescent, no irony to be found. These are songs about big feelings, matched by big-budget production, evincing a shameless devotion to pure pop: uptempo, tightly structured, stuffed with singable hooks and lyrics that don’t exactly hold up perfectly under scrutiny yet nonetheless scan as immediately relatable. “Run Away With Me” is the aural equivalent of a confetti cannon, the sonic translation of the way a crush makes you feel invincible. “Boy Problems” is neon and buoyant with its groovy bassline, chorus of na na nas, and percussion stabs like the kind of text you send with 15 exclamation marks. The exceptions to the bubblegum bangers formula are equally rewarding: The brooding, breathy “Warm Blood” and the poised ballad “All That” gently widen Jepsen’s sound without becoming a distraction.
