In August, Kolodziejzyk announced that he and Kelsey were expecting their first child together with another Instagram post together.
“We’re having a baby boy in January 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵,” Kreppel captioned the photos, which included a sonogram, a photo of the couple with fake arm tattoos that read “mommy” and “daddy,” and videos of the couple telling their family.
The influencer couple tied the knot in February after getting engaged about a year before. Although this is their first baby together, the couple are pet and parent to their dog Chili and cats Ham and Brisket.
Kolodziejzyk spoke exclusively with PEOPLE in November, revealing how Kelsey told him she was pregnant.
“We were supposed to go to Australia the next day for Iron Man,” the Tiny Meat Gang rapper told PEOPLE. “And she texted me more often than she would, like ‘When are you coming home? When are you coming home?’ Because I was like out there doing a podcast or radio or something and I was like, ‘I’ll be home eventually.'”
“And I said, ‘It’s a little weird.’ I thought, ‘Is something going on?’ And she said, ‘No, no, I’m just excited to see you,'” he continued. “And I said, ‘Okay, great.’ I came home and we had dinner and she said, ‘Should I bring, do you think I should pack this?’ And she handed me the pregnancy test and I was like, ‘Oh my God’.”

“It was a pretty surreal moment for us. It didn’t feel real,” Kolodziejzyk told PEOPLE. “I think that’s something we hear a lot from other people who find out they’re pregnant because it doesn’t feel real until you’re like … even the first doctor’s appointment when we actually see the baby, then it’s like, ‘Oh my God, this is real.'”
“Even then it took a few months or a month or so to really come to terms with it. I mean, obviously, we were thrilled, but it’s just such a crazy life change,” he added.

Kolodziejzyk also said that he and Kreppel have no plans to bring their child into the spotlight anytime soon.
“No, we’re not going to put them online at all,” he told PEOPLE. “It’s a weird feeling that they’re going to grow up and say, ‘Oh, I didn’t want this to be… I didn’t really want my life to be documented.’ I just think some things are meant to be private.”
“But content-wise, I’m excited to talk about parenting,” the YouTuber said. “I think it’s something that our audience will age with us, it’s something that will become more relevant to them as well.”
“So I’m excited to talk about the ups and downs of parenthood,” he added.
