Former YouTuber Dani Cimorelli Expecting First Baby with Musician Husband Emmyn Calleiro
Dani was formally a member of her sisters' band, Cimorelli, while Calleiro is the lead singer for the band Games We PlayNEED TO KNOW Former YouTuber Dani Cimorelli and Emmyn Calleiro are going to be parents The Games We Play singer announced the news on his Instagram Dani was formerly a member of the band Cimorelli, which was started by her sisters and had a presence on YouTubeDani Cimorelli and Emmyn Calleiro are going to be parents! The Games We Play singer, 25, shared the exciting news on his Instagram, posting a few photos of himself and his wife Dani, also 25, who is best known for formerly being a part of her sisters' band, Cimorelli, which found fame on YouTube. In the first photo, Emmyn can be seen putting an arm around his wife and smiling. Dani smiled and leaned into her husband, wearing a cropped black T-shirt that showed off her belly. "In case you don't see me as much on here - wanted to fill you in that I'm going to become a dad this month and I'm also halfway done with my second album," Emmyn wrote in his caption. "If u miss me, play my music that's on Spotify and know that I'm changing diapers and writing new songs for you. Trying to make something special, see u soon ❤️." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Dani left Cimorelli in January 2020 after 10 years in the band. At the time, she said "she wants to pursue other career paths outside of music and has made the decision to move on from the band," per a statement released by her sisters. Dani and Emmyn got engaged in August 2018 and got married later that year when they were both 19. In a video posted to their shared YouTube channel, the couple spoke about how difficult it was to get engaged and married that young. "I'm not going to lie guys, it was probably one of the worst few months of my entire life," Dani said at the time. "August, September, October, November. Some of the worst times of my entire life. Not because of our wedding, but because again, like I said, it was really difficult being 19 and engaged." "Just because so many people don't approve or like it or say negative things or whatever on the Internet or in person," she explained. "Just so many things." Then in 2023, Dani and Emmyn shared on their respective Instagram Stories that they were no longer together. Although the image is no longer up, a fan posted their statement to TikTok. "Hey guys, we wanted to let you know that we are not together anymore. We still love each other a lot and are still each other's biggest fans. We are both okay and are still friends ❤️ — Dani and Emmyn," the statement read. However, in January 2024, the couple appeared to have reconciled when Emmyn posted a video to his TikTok about his band Games We Play's new song, "Girl-Shaped Crater." "I fell in love for the first time when I was 18. She was the most amazing girl I'd ever met. From the moment I met her, I knew she was the one for me," Emmyn wrote over the video, which featured his new song. "After almost 5 years, we split up for a while. Being apart from each other felt wrong. It only made me want her more." "I always felt like she didn't realize how amazing she really was. I wrote this song to tell her, and almost didn't get to show her," he continued. "It's how I felt when we were 18, and it's how I feel now. (We're back together now).

How to tell if that song is AI-generated? Here are some things to check
Is it The Velvet Underground or Velvet Sundown? The fictitious rock group, Velvet Sundown, which comes complete with AI-generated music, lyrics and album art, is stoking debate about how the new technology is blurring the line between the real and synthetic in the music industry, and whether creators should be transparent with their audience. Computer software is widely used in music production, and artificial intelligence is just the latest tool that disc jockeys, music producers and others have added to their production pipeline. But the rise of AI song generators such as Suno and Udio is set to transform the industry because they allow anyone to create songs with just a few prompts. 4 If you encounter a new song that leaves you wondering whether it's 100% made with AI, there are some methods that could reveal how it was created. StockPhotoPro – While some people do not care whether they're listening to AI-generated music, others might be curious to know. If you encounter a new song that leaves you wondering whether it's 100% made with AI, there are some methods that could reveal how it was created. Do a background check If you're wondering who's behind a song, try some old-fashioned detective work. The 'most obvious cues' come from 'external factors,' said Manuel Mousallam, head of research and development at streaming service Deezer. Does the band or artist have social media accounts? Lack of a social presence might indicate there's no one there. If they do exist online, examine the kind of content they post, and how long it goes back. Is there any sign that the artist or band exists in real life? Are there any upcoming concerts and can you buy a ticket for a gig? Is there footage of past concerts on YouTube? Has an established record label released their singles or albums? Try going to the source. Song creators often — but not always — publish their generated tunes on the Suno or Udio platforms, where they can be found by other users. The catch is that you'll have to sign up for an account to get access. Users can look up songs by track name or the creator's handle, and browse genres and playlists. But it can still be difficult to spot a song, especially if you don't know the name of the song or creator. Song tags 4 The 'most obvious cues' come from 'external factors,' said Manuel Mousallam. AP Deezer has been flagging albums containing AI-generated songs, as part of its efforts to be more transparent as it battles streaming fraudsters looking to make quick money through royalty payments. The Deezer app and website will notify listeners with an on-screen label — 'AI-generated content' — to point out that some tracks on an album were created with song generators. The company's CEO says the system relies on in-house technology to detect subtle but recognizable patterns found in all audio created by AI song generators. The company hasn't specified how many songs it has tagged since it rolled out the feature in June, but says up to 18% of songs uploaded to its platform each day are AI-generated. Song scanners 4 The Deezer app and website will notify listeners with an on-screen label to point out that some tracks on an album were created with song generators. InfiniteFlow – There are a few third-party services available online that promise to determine whether a song is human-made or generated by AI. I uploaded a few songs I generated to the online detector from IRCAM Amplify, a subsidiary of French music and sound research institute IRCAM. It said the probability that they were AI-generated ranged from 81.8% to 98% and accurately deduced that they were made with Suno. As a cross-check, I also uploaded some old MP3s from my song library, which got a very low AI probability score. The drawback with IRCAM's tool is that you can't paste links to songs, so you can't check tunes that you can only hear on a streaming service. There are a few other websites that let you both upload song files and paste Spotify links for analysis, but they have their own limitations. When I tried them out for this story, the results were either inconclusive or flagged some AI songs as human-made and vice versa. Check the lyrics 4 There are a few third-party services available online that promise to determine whether a song is human-made or generated by AI. doidam10 – AI song tools can churn out both music and lyrics. Many serious users like to write their own words and plug them in because they've discovered that AI-generated lyrics tend to be bad. Casual users, though, might prefer to just let the machine write them. So bad rhyming schemes or repetitive lyrical structures might be a clue that a song is not man-made. But it's subjective. Some users report that Suno tends to use certain words in its lyrics like 'neon,' 'shadows' or 'whispers.' If a song includes these words, it's 'a dead giveaway' that it's AI, said Lukas Rams, a Philadelphia-area resident. He has used Suno to create three albums for his AI band Sleeping with Wolves but writes his own lyrics. 'I don't know why, it loves to put neon in everything.' No easy answers AI technology is improving so quickly that there's no foolproof way to determine if content is real or not and experts say you can't just rely on your ear. 'In general, it can be difficult to tell if a track is AI-generated just from listening, and it's only becoming more challenging as the technology gets increasingly advanced,' said Mousallam of Deezer. 'Generative models such as Suno and Udio are constantly changing, meaning that old identifiers – such as vocals having a distinctive reverb – are not necessarily valid anymore.'
