Billy Corgan and his wife Chloé Mendel welcomed their third child on Tuesday, March 18. Their daughter, Juno Corgan, was born at the couple’s home in Highland Park, Illinois. Juno weighed 9.9 pounds and measured 22 inches at birth.
“My wife, Chloé, is doing well and recovering, and baby Juno is happy, healthy, and nursing with gusto,” Corgan said. The couple expressed gratitude for the support they received. “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,” Corgan shared.
Juno’s siblings, Augustus, 9, and Philomena, 6, are excited about the new addition to the family.

“The kids are absolutely thrilled by their new sister,” Corgan said.
“They can’t wait until she’s old enough to play.”
Corgan and Mendel announced they were expecting their third child in August, just weeks before their first wedding anniversary. They have been together since 2012 and tied the knot in September 2023. The couple shared the pregnancy news with their children on a Sunday.
Corgan recounted, “While Augustus was overjoyed, Clementine, the younger of the two, asked if the baby was made already and shed a few tears of concern, which was honestly adorable.”
It has been a significant year for Corgan, both personally and professionally. The Smashing Pumpkins released their 13th album, “Aghori Mhori Mei,” last August and are set to embark on a European tour in July. Corgan will also participate in a star-studded event, “Back to the Beginning,” on July 5 in Birmingham, England.
The show will feature several supergroup-style performances.
