Post has been engaged to fiancee Jamie since 2021. He dropped to one knee and asked for her hand in marriage while they were in Las Vegas.
"It was in [Las] Vegas," he told the podcast Call Her Daddy in 2023. "We’re not married – it was just a proposal. I had lost a significant amount of money at the table. We go upstairs and I’m off my rocker hammered and I was like, ‘Hey, you wanna marry me?' I got a ring and all this stuff. And she said 'no.' She’s like, ‘Ask me tomorrow’ and I was like, 'Alright.' And then I did and I was sober and it was nice."
The rapper has also praised his fiance for helping him through his alcohol addiction.

Post has never publicly identified his fiance, but Jamie has been pictured at events with Post, including the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2023. It is believed they met in 2020.

Post became a father in 2022 when his fiance gave birth to their first child, a baby girl. They have never revealed her name, but in October 2022 Post got her initials tattooed on his head, 'DDP,' after a show in Indianapolis.
"It's really tough not being able to see her, but she's coming out more often [on tour] now," he told Alex Cooper, the host of Call Her Daddy, of his daughter. "I'm just happy to see her. But it is heartbreaking having to leave and not be able to be with her all the time."

Did Post Malone write a song with Morgan Wallen?
The rapper teased a pivot to country music in March 2024 when he shared an Instagram video that featured a snippet of a new single. "Let’s go with the real mix this time @morganwallen," he captioned the post, on which Morgan commented: "I had some help getting to the point of posting it at 4 A.M. this song is one of my favs in a long time. Proud to be on it w u bub!!"

Yes! As well as 'DDP' he has several other face tattoos.
"I feel like the face tattoos make me interesting to look at, so where I might lack in handsomeness, I make up for in intrigue at least," he told GQ.
What happened to Post Malone's weight?

"I wanted to say that I’m not doing drugs," he wrote on April 27 2023 while on tour in Europe.
"I’ve had a lot of people ask me about my weight loss and, I’d suppose, [my] performance on stage. I’m having a lot of fun performing, and have never felt healthier. I guess ‘dad life’ kicked in and I decided to kick soda and start eating better so I can be around for a long time for this little angel."
