Dylan Frost and Elyssa Ford Celebrate Birth of Daughter Marley

Dylan Frost, the frontman of the Sydney-based indie rock band Sticky Fingers, and his partner Elyssa Ford have welcomed their first child, a daughter named Marley Allure Ford Frost. The couple announced the news on social media on October 9, 2025, revealing photos from their pregnancy journey alongside images of their newborn.

Elyssa shared the heartfelt announcement on Instagram, surprising many fans who were unaware of the couple’s pregnancy. Neither Frost, aged 35, nor Elyssa had previously mentioned the pregnancy on their social media accounts, which added to the element of surprise for their followers.

Past Controversies Surrounding Dylan Frost

Frost’s journey has been marked by a series of controversies over the years. In 2016, Sticky Fingers took a hiatus following allegations against Frost, including accusations of racism, sexism, and aggressive behaviour. In a 2018 incident, he faced backlash after allegedly verbally abusing a transgender woman at a pub in Newtown, a suburb in Sydney. This incident was just one of several that led to public scrutiny of his actions.

In a response to his past behaviour, Frost stated in an interview with Triple J Hack that “boys will be boys,” a comment that further fueled criticism.

In 2023, Bluesfest removed Sticky Fingers from its lineup after other artists threatened to withdraw if the band performed. Most recently, in July 2025, Frost appeared in the Downing Centre Local Court to face charges of shoplifting a roast chicken and an iced coffee from a Woolworths store. He pleaded not guilty, and the charges were subsequently dropped.

Looking Ahead

Despite the controversies, the arrival of their daughter signals a new chapter for Frost and Ford. The couple’s fans have expressed excitement and support as they embark on parenthood. Frost’s past struggles, including his public disclosure of being diagnosed with bipolar schizophrenia in 2015, have been part of his narrative. Many fans are hopeful that the birth of Marley will bring positive changes for the family.

As they embrace their new role as parents, Frost and Elyssa’s journey will undoubtedly continue to attract attention, both for their music and their personal lives. The couple’s ability to navigate challenges and celebrate new beginnings will be closely watched by their supporters.
