Tiësto’s wife Annika pregnant, expecting their second child

Tiësto and his wife, Annika Backes Verwest, are expecting a baby boy.

“I am having another baby with the love of my life ❤️,” the DJ, 53, captioned a boomerang on Instagram Monday where he was seen kissing his wife’s stomach at the 2022 Grammy Awards.

The couple sparked baby rumors when Tiësto was seen cradling what appeared to be Annika’s growing baby bump while posing for photos on the red carpet in Las Vegas on Sunday.

They confirmed the happy news on social media the next day.

“Baby boy on the way 🥰💙,” the model, 23, wrote in her own post to Instagram this week.

Several friends and fans of the couple flooded the comments section with celebratory messages for the pair.

“Congrats brother ❤️,” DJ duo Lucas and Steve wrote in the comments section.

“Amazing News Congratulations ❤️❤️,” Vazzy said.

Tiësto — whose real name is Tijs Michiel Verwest OON — and Annika tied the knot in a Utah desert in September 2019.

“I felt overwhelmed with emotions because we have been in love for so long and thinking about this day forever, and then it was finally here,” Tiësto told Vogue at the time. “It was more beautiful and more special than I could have ever imagined. To see everyone I love there and then to see the love of your life walking down the aisle, it is the best feeling in the world.”

The couple got engaged over Thanksgiving 2018 in the Maldives. They met three years earlier at Catch, ventured to Coachella together that year, and the rest is history.
