PewDiePie expecting first baby with wife Marzia Kjellberg: ‘Can’t wait to meet you’

PewDiePie and Marzia shared their exciting news on Sunday

YouTube star PewDiePie is over the moon after announcing he’s set to become a dad for the first time.

The gamer and content creator, who boasts over 111million YouTube subscribers, shared possibly his most personal video to date on Sunday by revealing Marzia’s pregnancy in a montage.

In the clip, which was also shared on social media, PewDiePie, 33, and Marzia, 30, are seen posing with four positive pregnancy tests which they took to be sure, before cutting to a clip of the influencer explaining that he was waiting in their car for Marzia to finish her doctor’s appointment.

Viewers are then treated to the couple’s pregnancy journey so far, including shots of Marzia’s growing baby bump and their beloved dog doting on the mum-to-be, clearly aware that they’ll be joined by a baby soon.

The video ends with a baby scan and Marzia’s due date: ‘July 2023.’

Leading the stream of congratulations was the couple’s longtime friend and fellow YouTuber Zoe Sugg, who wrote: ‘Ahhh guys this is so exciting! Congratulations.’

Her boyfriend and fellow influencer Alfie Deyes added: ‘I’m so excited for you both! Congratulations.’

It’ll be the first child for PewDiePie – real name Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg – and Marzia who met in 2011 and married in 2019.

Fans have followed PewDiePie and Marzia’s journey over the years, with the two getting engaged in 2018 when he popped the question during a trip to Japan.

The two then tied the knot in an intimate wedding in Kew Gardens, London in August 2019.

Announcing they were wed, PewDiePie told his Instagram followers: ‘We are married!!! I’m the happiest I can be. I’m so lucky to share my life with this amazing woman.’

‘It was the most beautiful day, which I will treasure forever. I am so thankful for all the people that made time to attend the event and helped us celebrate our marriage.’

She added: ‘I feel like I’m the luckiest person and I’m so full of love. Incredibly ecstatic to be able to call Felix my husband for the rest of our lives.’

Over their relationship, they have lived in Italy and Sweden together before setting up home in the UK. They have been living in Brighton for the past few years.
