Nikki Sixx, 60, is expecting his fifth child more than a decade after his vasectomy
I’m old, but I’m not old enough to have really been a fan of Mötley Crüe. My microgeneration was all about Nirvana and Pearl Jam, not the late ‘80s metal scene. Still, those Mötley Crüe guys still make headlines, like Nikki Sixx. Will it make you feel old to learn that Sixx is 60 years old? Will it make you feel even older to learn that his wife is 33, and that she’s expecting their first child (together)? Sixx has four children from previous relationships, but they’re all adults now! His youngest is 18. After his youngest was born, he apparently had a vasectomy. So…lol.
Nikki Sixx‘s “Home Sweet Home” is about to grow by one! The Mötley Crüe bassist, 60, and his wife Courtney, 33, are expecting their first child together and Sixx’s fifth total, PEOPLE confirmed.
“What a great way to start off 2019 for Courtney and me,” Nikki tells PEOPLE. “I am so excited knowing that I’m not going to be touring during the pregnancy, which makes it even more special. My wife is going to make the most amazing mom ever and our whole family is beyond excited.”
The baby on the way is the first for Courtney while Sixx — whose given name is Frank Carlton Serafino Feranna, Jr. — is also dad to Frankie-Jean Mary, 18, Decker Nilsson, 23, Storm Brieann, 24, and Gunner Nicholas, 27.
“We have been talking about having a baby since we met and were married almost five years ago,” Courtney explained. “It’s definitely been on my mind every day. After turning 30, baby fever kicked in big time but we wanted to wait until the perfect time. We are beyond thrilled to be bringing a little Sixx into the world and I know we will make amazing parents together.”
It has been almost two decades since the rocker last became a dad and this baby is on the way despite the bassist having previously had a vasectomy. When it was suggested on the 2007 show Nikki would later have a reversal, he joked he would get a second operation just to make sure the first one worked. Clearly, all that changed after he met Courtney.
Well, for one thing, vasectomies aren’t always 100% effective. Secondly, they can be reversed, and maybe that’s why it took a few years for Courtney to get pregnant – he had to make the decision to get it reversed, and it took a moment for everything to get back up and running, so to speak. Anyway, the vasectomy angle is the interesting part of this story. Otherwise, it’s just another infuriating tale of how men continue to father children past the age when they really should. I know that sounds judgmental but IDGAF.
