If Charlie Puth is nervous about becoming a dad, he’s not showing it.
The pop artist was the musical guest Tuesday night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he performed his new song “Changes” and sat for a chat with the late-night show’s host.
At the top, Puth confirmed what many of his fans already. “I’m gonna be a dad,” he told Fallon.

We’re aware of the good news because Puth used the music video for “Changes” as the platform for his big reveal. Around the 2:30 mark in the Charlotte Rutherford-directed clip, Puth and his wife Brooke Sansone both place their hands on her belly, a sign that changes are coming.
“I didn’t leave much up to the imagination there,” he admitted to Fallon. “But yeah, we’re expecting a baby in March.”
He’s not giving away the gender just yet, but it’s safe to say the bub will be immersed in music. Puth plans to revisit what him mom did for him, by placing headphones on Sansone’s pregnant tummy.
“I hope baby likes music, because it’s the only thing I’m good at,” he quipped. “I think I listened to James Taylor and Luther Vandross, I got a wide array of music. So I’ll do the same thing, whether Brooke likes it or not.”
This will be the first child for the Puth and Sansone, who began dating in 2022 and were married in September 2024.
Puth stuck around the NBC studios for a performance of “Changes,” lifted from his forthcoming fourth studio album Whatever’s Clever!, also due out next March, for what will be a busy month for the growing family.
Whatever’s Clever!, will be Puth’s fourth album and a follow-up to 2022’s Charlie, which yielded the Billboard Hot 100 top 40 singles “Light Switch” and “Left and Right” (with BTS’ Jung Kook).
Watch Puth’s performance of “Changes” and his goofy Hundred Percent sketch with Fallon.

On Tuesday night (Oct. 21), the DWTS celebrities celebrated the forthcoming sequel to Jon M. Chu’s Wicked with routines set to songs from the popular musical-turned-film. Chu even stopped by to join regular judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli.
Irwin gave it his best shot with a jazz performance of “Dancing Through Life”. The 21-year-old and his professional partner Witney Carson completed an energetic, free-flowing performance with smiles glued to their faces. Irwin gave viewers a little more than they bargained with a perfect dolphin dive early in their routine, and pulled off a floor slide that’d make Bruce Springsteen proud.
When the votes were counted, 39 out of a possible 40 points went to the pairings of Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa, and Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas, while Irwin and Carson nabbed nines from all four of the judges, for 36/40.
Irwin, the son of the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, will be hoping to emulate the success of his older sister Bindi, who won the 21st season of DWTS, in 2015.
The remaining contestants in this 34th season of Dancing With the Star includes TV personality Dylan Efron and influencer Jen Affleck. However, Pentatonix’s Scott Hoying and Rylee Arnold are no longer competing for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, following their elimination on Tuesday evening.
Dancing with the Stars airs live Tuesdays on ABC and Disney+, and streams the next day on Hulu. The finale will be on Nov. 25.

John Williamson, the Australian “bush music” legend, has criticized a nationwide anti-immigration protest where his signature song, “True Blue,” was reportedly played without his approval.

Thousands gathered in several Australian capital cities last Sunday, Oct. 19 for the “March for Australia” rallies, which formed as a collective voice against the federal government’s immigration policies, and for counter protests. Williamson, not for the first time, has called out the unauthorized use of his music.
Turning to Facebook, Williamson writes: “‘True Blue’ is a song for all Australians and should not be hijacked by any group that seeks to use the song to sow division. I believe in a multicultural society – one where all Australians come together in unity to celebrate our unique multicultural nature and freedoms.”
A decade ago, the ARIA Hall of Famer put conservative event organizers on blast for attempting to weaponize his famous song. Back in 2015, he shared a post on Facebook in which he noted that “True Blue” was reportedly being used at rallies by various groups including the Reclaim Australia movement, and “did not have my approval to use it.” On that occasion, he wrote, “I would prefer the song be used to celebrate togetherness in our great country. How about holding a rally for ‘Love’ and see who turns up. Hatred never solves anything.”
A musician and conservationist, Williamson’s career spans more than 50 years. The 79-year-old has sold more than 5 million albums and accumulated upwards of one billion streams. Over time, he has collected 28 Golden Guitar awards, four ARIA Awards, and on Australia Day 1992, was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) “for service to Australian country music and in stimulating awareness of conservation issues.” Williamson performed at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and in 2010 he was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.
Since its release in 1982, “True Blue” song has become part of the fabric of Australian culture, and is regularly played at sporting events and ceremonies, including Steve “Crocodile Hunter” Irwin’s public memorial service, where he performed it twice on acoustic guitar.

My mom lives down there for six months out of the year.
How cool!
Yes, because my grandpa is still there. My grandpa, obviously, studied there many years ago, but he was also an extra in … Well your grandpa was filming.
I know, it was super cool. They told me that what my grandpa would do was talk to them through the radio like the whole world saying, “We need four men who know how to do this.” And with that, they would go. That’s what I saw.
My grandpa showed up there just as an extra.
What’s happened to me too, now that I’m an adult, people tell me, “I was Boy No. 1 in this movie.” And I’m just like, “That’s so cool.” So we’re here in front of Union Station.

My grandpa was deported, like, four or five times.
