The musician praised his wife, expressing his pride and gratitude for her sacrifice after multiple medical procedures on their fertility journey, including two HSG procedures – an X-ray used to view the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes, one egg retrieval and one hysteroscopy which involved “removing the tubes and scars after hernia and appendix surgeries.” He also revealed that the two had experienced a miscarriage.

“I am in awe of your efforts and I am blessed and honored by Jesus himself to begin this journey with you,” he added. “I love you so much, you will be the best mother EVER! We have come a long way 5 years later, we are married and expecting our first child. Loyalty goes a long way ❤️‍🔥🥰 ”

Austin talked about his hopes as a father when he spoke to PEOPLE in April about the Paramount+ series A family heirloomwhere he talks about what it was like growing up on the road with iconic R&B/hip-hop group TLC.

“We see the backstage, we see the costumes come off the microphone and I don’t think people see that part, that we really appreciate our parents for doing what they do and putting themselves on the line in that way,” he said.

“It’s a very hard job and you can’t be there all the time, even when you have children, you have to continue in this direction. As a father on the rise, I think about how I want to do the same with my children,” he said then.

“I want to make sure that I’m there as much as possible, but that they also understand that daddy’s got to do what daddy’s got to do, and that doesn’t change the love between us.”
