Post Malone has a lot to be thankful for, though more than anything, he is grateful for his daughter and fiancée.
The rapper, whose real name is Austin Post, was in a dark place before welcoming his daughter, whose name he has never shared publicly, two years ago, with his fiancée, whose identity he hasn't disclosed either.
Despite his penchant for privacy, he did give rare insight into how fatherhood changed his life, during an appearance on CBS Sunday Mornings on August 11.
Speaking with Anthony Mason about his new album F-1 Trillion, his first foray into country music featuring collaborations with the likes of Blake Shelton, Dolly Parton, Luke Combs, and Morgan Wallen, Post emotionally opened up about his daughter when discussing his song "Yours," dedicated to her.
The lyrics read in part: "And she might be wearing white, but her first dress, it was pink / She might be your better half, yeah, but she's my everything." The doting dad admitted: "I think about it a lot," about his daughter's future wedding date.
"I'll never forget her, if you've heard her cry, you'll never forget her either," he went on, and added: "It changes your life in the best way ever, and the most beautiful thing is she has a beautiful mom."
"You've said she saved your life?" the CBS correspondent noted, to which Post answered: "That's true, her and her mom."

"Four years ago, I was on a rough path," he reflected, sharing that he was wrestling with "everything," and that "loneliness" was troubling him. "It was terrible."
"Getting up, having a good cry, drinking, and then going living your life, and then whenever you go lay down, drinking some more and having a good cry, and just like, I got to wake up tomorrow and do this again," he recalled.
However, now 29, he maintained with a smile: "I don't feel like that anymore, and it's the most amazing thing," and noted: "I needed to [go though that] for myself, to figure out who I am."

Post first revealed he had a daughter, whose initials "DDP" he has tattooed on an upper corner of his forehead, during a June 2022 appearance on Howard Stern.
He later opened up about how he changed his lifestyle shortly after, telling Call her Daddy host Alex Cooper in August 2023 that his biggest fear in life was "not being able to be there for my baby, which is a new fear." He said: "That's why I tried to slow down on drinking, to take better care of my body."
