\n\t5 Seconds of Summer<\/a> frontman Luke Hemmings<\/a> and songwriter Sierra Deaton have welcomed their first child together. On Instagram, the couple offered a glimpse into their private life as they shared a carousel of images celebrating their baby girl. \u201cOur best kept secret,\u201d they captioned the post. \u201cWritten and Produced by Sierra and Luke Hemmings.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe insight is not only rare but reluctant. In a comment on the post, Hemmings revealed that their intention in sharing the news is purely to get ahead of any further speculation or breaches of privacy. \u201cIn our perfect world, we\u2019d keep our daughter a secret forever\u2026 for similar reasons we chose to never share our wedding photos from years ago,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n \n\tOver the years, Deaton has become a target of vitriolic and often racist hate from disgruntled fans. In 2020, Hemmings tweeted<\/a>, \u201cPeople need to be more aware what their words can do to others mental health. My own girlfriend has experienced harassment and racism online and in real life by people who keep coming to our home just because we\u2019re together and it\u2019s heartbreaking to see the effects it has.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tHemmings and Deaton scarcely use social media, but have shared their songwriting collaborations on the most recent 5 Seconds of Summer album, 5SOS5<\/em>, and his solo albums When Facing the Things We Turn Away From <\/em>and Boy<\/em>. \u201cMe and Sierra are very, very private,\u201d Hemmings told Rolling Stone<\/em> <\/a>last year. \u201cSongs and the music I make are windows into moments in my life. If you\u2019re looking to understand more of me, that\u2019s definitely the way to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
