2018 has been full of surprising news (cc: Grimes & Elon Musk) but this latest news may be the most perplexing of all.
Rashida Jones managed to quietly give birth to a baby and the father is her partner Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig.
The pair have never come public with their relationship so not only was it a shock to find out they are in a relationship but also had a baby.
Koenig has been teasing a new Vampire Weekend album all year but it seems he also had another project waiting in the wings.
Predictably, the internet is perplexed as to how they didn't pick this news up earlier.
We're happy for them anyway. Now give us a new Vampire Weekend album.
Rashida Jones and Ezra Koenig are a couple??? and have a babby??

If Rashida Jones and Ezra Koenig are this good at hiding the fact that their baby was born months ago, imagine how good Vampire Weekend has been at hiding their newest album from us

But also Ezra and Rashida have been together and living together for years. How are people just now finding out that they’re a couple?
