Charlie Puth announces he’s going to be a father in his latest video, “Changes.”
The song marks a new chapter ahead of his upcoming album Whatever’s Clever, releasing March 6, 2026.
The video features his wife, Brooke Sansone, in a subtle, heartwarming reveal.
A musical announcement with a twist
Charlie Puth’s latest music video, “Changes,” comes with more than just a new sound; it’s a personal milestone. The pop singer revealed that he and his wife, Brooke Sansone, are expecting their first child. The understated pregnancy announcement arrives as Puth prepares to release his fourth studio album, Whatever’s Clever, on March 6, 2026.
In the final moments of the video, Sansone appears alongside Puth, and the couple share a tender glance toward her stomach, a simple yet unmistakable reveal that sent fans into celebration across social media.
A playful, nostalgic tone in “Changes”
The “Changes” video carries a charming, retro aesthetic, blending whimsy with warmth. Puth performs in a setting reminiscent of a PBS classroom, wearing a casual, professor-like outfit as he grooves beside animated, Claymation-style instruments. The track itself feels like a smooth mix between Harry Styles’ “Late Night Talking” and the polished 1980s pop textures of Toto.
With its upbeat rhythm and lighthearted visuals, the video captures Puth in his post-fame, post-fuckboy era, one that fans have affectionately dubbed his “husband phase.”
The announcement marks a major personal and creative transition for the 33-year-old artist. Since releasing his self-titled 2022 album Charlie, Puth has kept a relatively low profile, occasionally sharing behind-the-scenes clips about music theory and songwriting with his followers. He married Brooke Sansone, a longtime family friend, in September 2024.
His upcoming album, Whatever’s Clever, is expected to showcase a more grounded version of Puth, balancing maturity with the catchy pop sensibilities that first made him a star.
As fans flood social media with congratulations, one thing is clear: the “change” at the heart of “Changes” isn’t just artistic, it’s the start of a new life chapter for Charlie Puth and Brooke Sansone.
The actress defended her claim that acting demands more than desk jobs in a recent interview.
She said office workers can "chill out" during work hours, unlike film stars.
Fans and working professionals called her comments privileged and out of touch.
The backlash started after her appearance on Amazon Prime's Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle.
Critics pointed out the financial gap and support systems actors have compared to regular employees.
Kajol probably didn't expect this reaction when she sat down with Twinkle Khanna on Two Much. But her comments about actors working harder than people with 9-to-5 jobs have blown up, and not in a good way.

The comments that started it all
Kajol was speaking out about her earlier comments on Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle on Amazon Prime, where she said actors work harder than most people. This time she was explaining why she thinks that.
She told The Hollywood Reporter India that her days are full of shoots, events, and very early flights. One day involved waking at 5 AM to catch a flight to Jaipur for a 3 PM event.
But it was her take on regular jobs that got people talking. She claimed desk workers don't need to be "100% present" and can take breaks, "chill out," and relax while working. She kept coming back to the unending scrutiny actors face like the feeling of always being watched or something as simple as how you cross your legs or who's snapping a picture in the background becomes a constant calculation. You have to be switched on, she insisted, all the time.
The internet, frankly, was having none of it. YouTube and Reddit exploded with responses. "For the kind of remuneration actors are paid, they shouldn't have a problem working 12 hours a day for 4 days a week," one user wrote. Another pointed out that films typically take 3-4 months to shoot, while regular jobs run year-round.
The responses got more pointed. "Vanity mein naps or massages bhi toh hum lete hain," a Reddit user commented, referencing the comfort of vanity vans. Someone else joked: "If you work poorly, you get fired. If you act poorly, you get a Filmfare award."
The bluntest response yet? "Respectfully, Kajol, shut up."
Nobody denies acting is demanding. Long hours, public pressure, and constant judgement are very real. But comparing it to regular employment ignores some major differences.
Most people work 12 months a year with two weeks' holiday if they're lucky. They don't have spot boys fetching drinks or vanity vans for rest breaks. One netizen nailed it: "A working parent's schedule is continuous, every single day, with no wrap-up party or off-season."

There's also the money. While her fee for a single film is probably more than most people earn in a year, she says that doesn’t make the work easy. Still, it does provide a comfort that regular employees don’t have. Kajol has not yet replied to the backlash.
