And now tHe golden globe winner, 37, and his wife is being chased by fans because of the newborn’s unique name.
‘M&D just released their follow-up single. Brother László Criss 3-6-24,” Criss subtitled after. ‘Out now. …and yes, his first name is Brother.”
His caption seemed to be a nod to the announcement of their first child, daughter Bluesy Belle, in April 2022. “M&D made sweet music,” Criss wrote at the time. “Out now.”
Criss went in and edited his post to clarify that the newborn’s name is in fact Brother.

Fans put two and two together and realized Criss has kids named Bluesy and Brother, and one said, “Did you name your kids after the blues brothers in a super literal way?”
“If you have to say ‘yes, his real name is…’, chances are you picked a bad name,” one user wrote, while another added: “Some people need to remember (or outright realize) that their babies are real people. choose a name.
Other people pointed out the problems that could arise if Brother were to get married, writing, “Are you taking Brother as your lawfully wedded husband?”
