Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan and Wife Chloé Mendel Welcome Third Child


Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan and wife Chloé Mendel welcomed their third child, daughter Juno, on Tuesday (March 18).

“We are so touched by all the kind wishes of support and love, and thank those who helped Chloé and baby have such a safe, and peaceful, home birth.” The rocker added that the couple’s other children, son Augustus Juppiter, 9, and daughter Philomena Clementine, 6, are “absolutely thrilled by their new sister [and]… can’t wait till she’s old enough to play.” The couple revealed last August that they were expecting their third and shared a picture with the newborn with People, in which Juno is snuggled between them as Corgan cradles an acoustic guitar. In addition to diaper duty, Corgan has a lot of other irons in the fire, including owning the National Wrestling Alliance and recently launching the Magnificent Others podcast, where he’s had long-form chats with everyone from KISS bassist/singer Gene Simmons, to Tom Morello, Sharon Osbourne, Wolfgang Van Halen, songwriter Diane Warren and Howie Mandel.
