Luke Hemmings and Sierra Deaton Announce Birth of Daughter, Ask for Privacy

The couple timed the reveal to preempt leaks during Hemmings’ next album cycle, setting firm privacy boundaries for their child.

Overview

  • The 5 Seconds of Summer frontman and the singer-songwriter revealed the previously secret pregnancy and birth in a joint Instagram carousel of hazy photos.
  • They withheld the baby's name, birthdate and face, and asked fans and media not to photograph or share images of her in public.
  • Hemmings said they posted now because an upcoming album cycle would likely expose their daughter’s existence through leaks.
  • The announcement aligns with their history of guarded milestones, including a low-key marriage following a 2021 engagement after dating since 2018.
  • Coverage noted Deaton has faced online harassment in the past, a factor underscoring the couple’s decision to keep their child out of the spotlight.
