McCartney and the Step Up Revolution star exchanged vows back in 2021 at a rustic inspired ceremony held in Carmel, California after seven years of dating in the public eye.
In April of 2024, McCartney told Today that he and his wife were ‘trying’ to conceive while discussing the inspiration for his recent hit Make a Baby – featuring rapper Yung Gravy.
‘The truth is that it takes time and you have to be ready to go at all times. It’s not necessarily always as sexy as people talk about,’ he told the outlet.
The vocalist also quipped that he would need to reconsider his preferred genre of music and what tracks he released to make his future child ‘super proud.’
He added at the time, ‘I’m still thinking about that and what that looks like. I mean, first I need to make a baby.
‘And then I need to start thinking about what kind of music I want to write for the baby. Who knows, maybe I’ll start making lullaby, children’s albums for the next few years,’ the star teased.
