Clifford's rep also confirmed Leigh's pregnancy to People.

"I'm filled with excitement and also with nerves," Clifford said. "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!"

"I'm over the moon!" Leigh added. "Completely overflowing with joy, I have never been this happy in my entire life. I'd like to think it's the baby's good vibes and energy radiating through me, but it's probably just the hormones."

Clifford and Leigh married in January 2021.

5SOS also consists of Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin, and last released the album 5SOS5 in September 2022.
