It looks like “American Idol” alum Triston Harper has gone from belting out ballads to tying the knot — and all before his voice has even fully dropped. At just 16 years old, Triston has not only put a ring on it but has also embarked on a fast-track to fatherhood with his 17-year-old bride, Paris Reed. This young love story has everything: teen romance, reality TV fame, and, of course, the classic baby-on-the-way announcement.
Triston, clearly a fan of making life-altering announcements on social media, broke the news to his Facebook followers with the cryptic yet heartfelt message, “Iv got big news harpies❤️❤️😘.” That’s right, he addressed his fans as “harpies” — which might be a typo or maybe a new term of endearment? Either way, he’s got big news, and the “harpies” are all here for it.
Adding her own dramatic flair to this epic family saga, Triston’s mom, Hattie Mae Sullivan, jumped into the social media ring two days later. While many might think the marriage was shocking enough, Hattie Mae casually let it slip that she’s about to be a “G Ma.” She posted a proud picture of Triston and Paris brandishing a positive pregnancy test like it’s their latest Grammy. “Now everybody has congratulated me on Triston and Paris getting married but to me that is old news,” she wrote. Old news! Can you imagine? Hattie Mae is practically rolling her eyes like, “Honey, marriage was so last season; we’re moving onto babies now.”
Oh, and let’s not forget, this boy wonder made it to the Top 5 on the latest season of American Idol. He may not have won the show, but who needs a record deal when you’re about to get a lifetime subscription to diapers and sleepless nights?
Triston’s whirlwind romance with Paris has taken the American Idol fandom to a whole new level. Let’s just hope his parenting skills are as fine-tuned as his vocal runs. After all, no one ever said the road to stardom didn’t have a few surprise plot twists along the way!
