British rock star announces he and his wife are expecting twins as they discover the gender of their unborn babies

British rock star announces he and his wife are expecting twins as they discover the gender of their unborn babies

Bring Me the Horizon’s lead singer, Oli Sykes, revealed his wife is pregnant with twins in a wholesome Instagram video on Sunday. 

The Kent-born rocker, 38, will be welcoming the children with his Brazilian spouse Victoria Alissa Salles Silva, who he wed in 2017. 

Their heartwarming announcement on Sunday showed the loved-up couple sat at a table together anxiously waiting to bite into two cupcakes – the colour of which would reveal the gender of their babies. 

With their dog eagerly perched by their side, Victoria says: ‘Are you ready?’ before biting into the first cake to reveal they will be having a girl. 

Oli then takes a bite of his own iced cupcake, which displays blue, meaning the other baby will be a boy. 

And the couple looked elated with the result of their gender reveal, with Victoria letting out a scream and her rock star husband crying: ‘Oh my f****** god!’

The announcement sent fans into a frenzy, with the Instagram post gaining more than 250,000 likes and a host of stars congratulating the couple in the comments section.

Model Abbey Clancy wrote: ‘Aaahhh so lovely’

Pretty Girl singer Maggie Lindemann also took to the comments, writing: ‘Omg congratulations’.

While a clearly excited fan simply wrote: ‘So unbelievably happy for you both!’

‘Imagine you’re a new born baby and your father is Oli Sykes… Biggest flex,’ another quipped. 

The news comes as Oli’s band Bring Me The Horizon gear up to headline this summer’s Reading & Leeds Festivals, which will go ahead on August’s bank holiday weekend between the 21st and 24th.

The band have headlined the festival on one previous occasion, when they fronted it alongside Dave, Arctic Monkeys and The 1975 in 2022, and even invited Ed Sheeran on-stage.

Bring Me The Horizon will be joined by Chappel Roan and Utopia hitmaker Travis Scott as this year’s headliners. Irish singer-songwriter Hozier will too play the festival.

In a statement after their performance was announced in December, Oli Sykes revealed Reading and Leeds would be fans’ only opportunity to see Bring Me The Horizon in 2025. 

‘We are beyond excited to be returning to Reading & Leeds for our first fully fledged headline slot,’ the statement read. 

‘We are going to bring hands down the greatest show of our careers.

‘It’s going to be our only UK performance next year and the final European show of the NEX GEN campaign before the band take time away, so if you want to see BMTH next year, this truly is your only chance. Can’t wait.’ 

The band’s latest album, POST HUMAN NeX:GEn released on 24 May 2024.
