The couple, who announced their marriage earlier this year, have just announced a new addition to their family.
Earlier this year, fans of wildly popular Japanese rock group ONE OK ROCK got quite the surprise when, at the first concert of their tour on February 18, the band’s bassist Ryota announced that he had gotten married earlier that month. Even more surprising was the fact that his new wife turned out to be the younger sister of Canadian singer and songwriter Avril Lavigne. A few days after his on-stage announcement, Ryota posted a photo to his Instagram of him with his new wife Michelle looking absolutely in love with each other.
But wait – the surprises don’t end there! Just yesterday, on October 22, Ryota shared another photo on Instagram of himself and Michelle, plus one new addition – their first-born baby girl.
▼ “We are so excited to announce the birth of our baby girl! We are happy that we have a new member to our family :D”
Judging by papa Ryota’s face in the second photo of the set, he is clearly over-the-moon in love with their daughter.
Since sharing the news of their marriage, the bassist has posted a number of photos of him and Michelle spending time with each other, and both seem to be quite happy with their life together.
▼ “Love my wife Love my life.” I think that says it all.
▼ They were pretty much made for each other.
The announcement photo has already received almost 160,000 likes, and tens of thousands of fans have left comments of congratulations and well-wishes for the happy family of three.
