The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes Is Going to Be a Dad: ‘Been Keeping This Secret’

Nathan Sykes, a member of the British-Irish boy band The Wanted, is expecting his first child with his wife, Charlotte. The couple announced their pregnancy on Wednesday (Sept. 23) through an Instagram post featuring heartwarming photo booth snapshots. The pictures included ultrasound photos and a photo of Nathan placing his hand on Charlotte's baby bump.

The announcement came with the couple's simple message, "We've been keeping a little secret," before revealing that "Baby Sykes is officially on the way." The couple plans to welcome their firstborn in April 2027. For longtime fans who first knew Sykes as the youngest member of The Wanted, the news marks the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

The Wanted achieved significant success in the U.S. charts with hits like "Glad You Came" and "Chasing the Sun." Nathan Sykes also pursued a solo career, topping the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart with "Kiss Me Quick" in 2015. Sykes and Charlotte began dating in December 2022 after he proposed to her on a beach in Saint Lucia, a location that holds sentimental significance for the couple. The couple went on to get married in October 2025.
