Clifford told People, “I’m filled with excitement and also with nerves. I’ve been a dog dad for a long time, so I think I’m ready for a small human to take care of and communicate with conversationally after eight years of one-sided dog convos!”
“It really has changed my outlook on life, though. The fact that for every single human on the planet (including everyone reading this), a strong woman had to go through carrying a baby, going through all of the emotions that come with being pregnant, and then deliver the baby is just astounding,” Clifford added.
Fans reacted to the news online with shock and support.
“What do you mean Michael Clifford is going to be a dad? What do you mean we’re getting unclesos?” one fan tweeted with crying emojis.
One fan simply wrote on Twitter, “WHAT THE F–K.”
Others expressed how old they feel since the band officially debuted with their first single, “She Looks So Perfect,” in 2014.
“Michael Clifford making me feel OLD,” one fan tweeted.
Someone else added, “Michael Clifford is going to be a dad. Luke Hemmings got married??????????? F–k I’m f—ing old what the f–k.”
“Bruh, I’m so old Michael Clifford is going to be a dad. I’m so happy for them, but also ??? Soon it will be 10 years I became a 5sos fan. I was still in high school, and now??” another fan lamented on Twitter.
