Pete Buttigieg and husband Chasten are going to be dads.
"For some time, Chasten and I have wanted to grow our family," the U.S. secretary of transportation posted Tuesday on Twitter. "We’re overjoyed to share that we’ve become parents! The process isn’t done yet and we’re thankful for the love, support, and respect for our privacy that has been offered to us. We can’t wait to share more soon."
Chasten Buttigieg quote-tweeted the post with a quick Twitter aphorism, "Some news!" He recently told The Washington Post they had started the adoption process and had gotten close to bringing a child into their home.
The writer and LGBTQ advocate told USA TODAY last year the pair had been exploring the possibility of starting a family. He noted is a confusing process but one they're excited about.
"We have quite a few friends in our circle who've navigated that, so we've just been having a lot of conversations with friends and started trying to figure out what will work for us," he said.
USA TODAY has reached out to the Buttigieg family for comment.
