16-Year-Old ‘American Idol’ Singer Triston Harper Expecting Baby With Wife Paris Reed

American Idol alum Triston Harper is living his American dream with wife Paris Reed, who is pregnant with the couple’s first baby together.

Hattie M. Sullivan, the mom of the 16-year-old aspiring singer, announced the news in a Facebook post just two days after Harper changed his relationship status on the site to reflect his nuptials to his 17-year-old partner Reed. “Now Everybody has congratulated me on Triston and Paris getting married but to me that is old news,” Sullivan wrote, sharing a photo of her son holding up a positive pregnancy test as Reed smiles next to him.

“Now I’m bout to be a ‘G Ma,’” she added.

The news comes a few months after Harper was eliminated from season 22 of Idol in May. He made it as far as the top five on the show — which ended that same month with 21-year-old Abi Carter as the ultimate winner — and at one point wowed the judges with a performance of Blake Shelton’s “God’s Country.”

Trending on Billboard

At the time, guest mentor Jelly Roll raved about the young performer. “He walked in with the spirit of a 75-year-old man that had been through a lifetime of pain,” the “Son of a Sinner” singer told Billboard in April. “Just wise beyond his years, with that deep Southern drawl. He has you eating out of the palm of his hand the first two seconds you talk to him, and the coolest part is he has no clue that he’s charming.

“It’s just naturally kind of who he is and then for him to be so moved by me was really cool,” Jelly added of Harper.

Since his time on the show ended, Harper has been sharing videos of himself performing songs on guitar for his Instagram followers. In August, he celebrated Reed on National Girlfriend Day by sharing a photo of them smiling together, writing, “I love you so much @reedgirl.101. There may be a 1 in a million kind of girl, but your my 1 in a lifetime time kind of woman.”

How Will Gwen Stefani Pick Between ‘My Girls’? Watch Powerhouse ‘The Voice’ Knockout Before It Airs

Season 26 of The Voice is heating up, and on Tuesday night’s (Nov. 12) episode, Gwen Stefani‘s team members Felsmere, Gabrielle Zabosky and Kay Sibal put on three powerful performances during the Knockouts that make the choice of a winner nearly impossible for their coach.

In the Knockouts showdown premiering exclusively on Billboard below, Felsmere is up first, and the 33-year-old Floridian shows off her impressively raspy vocal range with Dusty Springfield’s 1969 classic “Son of a Preacher Man.” Twenty-five-year-old Zabosky follows with an emotion-evoking, vocal-run-filled rendition of Miley Cyrus’ introspective single “Used to Be Young.” Sibal finishes off the Knockout face-off with a stripped-down cover of Ariana Grande’s “One Last Time,” featuring the Filipino-American Los Angeles native on the piano before she turns up the tempo at the end.

Fellow coaches Michael Bublé and Reba McEntire choose Zabosky as their personal favorite, while Stefani, of course, gives a standing ovation to all three of her “girls.”

Trending on Billboard

“Felsmere, you have the full package. I wanted to get the quirkiness out of the song, that ironic part of the lyric and the power of that, right? I really have to tell you: I think this was your best time doing it, right here in front of the whole of America,” Stefani tells the contestants. “Gabrielle, you were so vulnerable in those lyrics. You were just way down in here [gestures toward her heart] because you knew you were going to go way over here later [holds her hand over her head]. I thought it was perfect. Oh my gosh, little Kay. I know you want to be this little girl with this huge voice, but what impresses me is that vulnerable part of you. That’s my favorite part of Kay, and I loved working with you so much.”

Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo Channel Their Teen Selves in Emotional New ‘Wicked’ Commercial

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo might be powerful witches now, but years ago, they were simply munchkins with big dreams.

And in a new Xfinity commercial that premiered Tuesday (Nov. 12), fans are reminded of the long yellow brick road both women took to make their dreams come true through being cast in Wicked, which stars the “Yes, And?” pop star as Glinda and the Pinocchio actress as Elphaba. Directed by Wicked cinematographer Alice Brooks, the two-minute spot opens with two little girls resembling a young Grande and Erivo separately watching The Wizard of Oz on their home TVs and becoming involved with musical theater.

As the girls grow older, real-life Grande and Erivo step in to play their younger selves. Viewers see the temporarily brunette-again R.E.M. Beauty founder typing out her now-iconic 2011 tweet — “Loved seeing Wicked again … Made me realize again how badly I want 2 play Glinda at some point in my life!” — and the Tony Award winner belting out a song before the two women eventually meet in an empty soundstage, taking each other’s hands.

In a behind-the-scenes video posted the same day as the commercial — which shows footage of the two stars blocking scenes and listening intently to Brooks’ instructions — the director explained that the ad is “about colliding destinies.” “It was really important to me that [Grande and Erivo] feel real and raw and tangible, and that other little kids — and grownups, anyone with a dream — will be able to connect to it,” the director added. “The story just flows seamlessly together as we intercut their lives.”

Trending on Billboard

Both videos come just 10 days away from the premiere of the first Wicked film, with the second part to hit theaters one year later. Leading up to Part 1’s arrival, Erivo, Grande and the rest of the cast have been traveling the world to attend various premieres, from Australia to Los Angeles and — most recently — Mexico City. At the Monday (Nov. 11) screening at Auditorio Nacional, the Harriet star and Victorious alum looked stunning in a gothic black dress and pearlescent ballgown, respectively, and at one point held each other’s hands while looking emotional as fans at the red carpet began cheering, “Wicked! Wicked! Wicked!”

As the founder of JLo Beauty, it was a no-brainer for the brand to tap the 55-year-old entertainer to be featured in the promo video — and she made sure to leave an unforgettable mark. Dressed in an all-red ensemble, including a matching lip, J.Lo belts out her take on the holiday hit “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” while her bestselling skincare products are given close-ups in tune with the beat.
