I’m going to be a father. I love you guys so much and hope you stay along for this crazy journey, and I’ve never felt more happy in my life. All of you are invited to the gender reveal party I promise!”

Xan announced he was checking into rehab back in November following the death of his idol, Mac Miller, but his admittance was delayed.
"I just feel like it's time to get better," Lil Xan previously told TMZ about his plans to enter rehab for his issues with opioids. "I've been way worse in the past. I've actually been ten times worse than what I've been now but I want to do rehab just so I can get over this last little hump...so I can finally be back to Diego."
