Billy Martin of Good Charlotte was shocked to learn his wife Linzi is pregnant.
“We bought a pregnancy test without even stressing or sweating,” says Martin, who married hairstylist Linzi on March 1, their eight-year dating anniversary. “She went to take it, I sat down at my desk, and two minutes later she came out and said, ‘I’m pregnant!’
“All the sound in the world stopped for a minute. I was shocked – but excited,” says Martin, 27, who made the announcement on his blog.
Billy and Linzi, 25, are doing an Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland-themed nursery.
“If it’s a girl, maybe more Alice-based, and if it’s a boy, more Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat,” says Martin, who is drawing inspiration from Disney’s Alice, vintage Lewis Carroll book illustrations, and the upcoming Tim Burton-helmed Alice film.
“We’re not going to do anything dark and spooky that’s going to scare the baby,” says Martin with a laugh. “We want a lighter, happier version.”
The guitarist , who is also an accomplished illustrator and designer, has his own T-shirt line, called Level 27. He plans on doing some artwork for his baby.
Billy Martin says bandmate and friend, Joel Madden, has been great on giving advice on fatherhood. Joel Madden and Nicole Ritchie have an 8 month-old daughter, named Harlow.
“Joel says it’s going to change my whole world, but fatherhood is the best thing that ever happened to him,” says Martin. “He tells me not to stress out, and to try to take everything in stride and enjoy it because it’s the coolest thing that can happen to you.”
Congrats to Billy Martin and his wife Linzi on their baby news!
