Earlier this month, Kjellberg announced in a video on his YouTube channel that he would take a hiatus from the platform to care for his wife before the baby’s birth.

“I’m very, very excited (to become a dad),” he said. “I don’t know if I’ll have time to make videos, it’s going to be chaos. But thank you, thank you for all the support you’ve given us.”

The couple revealed the baby’s gender in a video from May where they stood under a row of carp-shaped streamers in honor of Children’s Day in Japan.

Kjellberg admitted in a February video that he kept Marzia’s pregnancy a secret from his subscribers.

“We found out that Marzia was pregnant on the first of November, and I’ve been so thankful everything has been going so well so far,” he said in the video.

Kjellberg, 33, has 111 million subscribers on his YouTube channel as of this writing. He moved to Japan with his wife in 2022.
