As a lifestyle expert with a deep understanding of resilience and personal growth, I can’t help but admire Triston Harper‘s journey. At just 16 years old, he’s navigating adulthood, marriage, and parenthood – something many of us could only dream to handle at twice his age. His life experience has been marked by adversity, from homelessness to abuse, but he’s turned those hardships into a driving force for success.


Triston Harper is reportedly a married man and preparing to become a dad at just 16 years old.

A previous participant on American Idol recently shared on Facebook that he has married his expecting girlfriend, Paris Reed, who is 17 years old.

On November 6th, the singer, who had been ousted from the ABC competition series just prior to the season finale, excitedly revealed to his followers that he had gotten married: “I have some major news, everyone!

In two days’ time, Hattie Mae Sullivan, the mother, disclosed that the pair were going to have their first child jointly.

They shared a selfie taken by Harper, which featured him along with his newlywed spouse, displaying a positive pregnancy test result in a cheerful manner.

She recently posted, “Everyone has already congratulated me on Triston and Paris tying the knot, but that’s ancient history for me. Now, I’m about to become a ‘Grandma,'” she wrote joyfully.

Harper appeared on American Idol during season 22, which aired earlier this year.

As an Alabama-born songbird, I left them spellbound when I performed for Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie on that ABC singing competition. But it wasn’t just my voice that captivated; my tale of a challenging childhood added an emotional depth that resonated deeply with each judge.

‘By the age of 11 years old, my mom was with my stepdad. He was getting very abusive,’ he said.

In a video segment shown during his audition, he expressed that after we departed from McIntosh [Alabama], things suddenly took an unexpected turn for the worst, just as if they had been tipped sideways.

He shared that a particularly difficult time for him was when he and his mother found themselves without a home, resorting to sleeping on the sidewalk. This occurred as he celebrated his twelfth birthday.

Harper mentioned: “I never imagined I’d have the chance to share my story with American Idol. Just contemplating it brings joy.

Following his performance, the judges commended him and offered helpful suggestions to improve his vocal skills.

‘Anything that you’re doing technically-wise singing is because you’re 15,’ Bryan told him.

If given the chance for an afternoon together, I’d simply express, “Please stop doing those actions,” specifically pointing out two behaviors. To put it plainly, you’re… [leaving a sentence unfinished], but Perry interrupted him before he could finish.

‘You’re a shotgun. Just watch where you’re aiming it.” 

Then, the judges brought in his mother when they told him he was going to Hollywood.

During the run of the competition show, he rose to become one of its most prominent contenders and audience favorites. However, both he and Emmy Russell were eliminated from the series in May.

Later that same month, he released his debut single H.O.P.E.
