ELLY (Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE) has announced the birth of his first child. 

According to an announcement on the group's official website, a baby boy was born to ELLY and Instagrammer MEGBABY, whom he has been dating for some time. ELLY said, "I had refrained from going public because I didn't want to cause stress to mom and baby," and revealed, "We don't plan on registering our marriage, but will make an effort to raise him together as good partners." 

Congratulations to the new parents!
