There have been a number of new Celeb Aunties this season, but none more excited to be a DebutAunt than Michelle Branch! In two separate posts on Monday, she expressed her overwhelming joy at becoming a new Auntie to her brother and sister-in-law’s first child, David Atlas Branch.  The first Tweet went up when her sister-in-law went into labor. Michelle said, “I’m gonna be an aunty! Yay!!”  Later Monday, she warned her new nephew to “be prepared to be spoiled rotten!!”

As if that wasn’t enough to show just how excited Michelle Branch is, on Tuesday she Tweeted that she had her first FaceTime chat with her nephew.  “It’s pretty obvious that I’m already his favorite aunt,” she said, followed by the affectionate hash-tag “#InLurve.”

Michelle Branch is, herself, a mother, among other professions including successful singer and songwriter in both the pop and country genres. Despite her busy and flourishing career, there is no doubt that Branch will find time to have play dates with her little one and her new nephew. It is obvious that Michelle Branch will make a wonderfully enthusiastic Auntie!
