Nita Strauss and husband reveal they’re expecting their first child

Nita Strauss, guitarist for Alice Cooper, has announced her pregnancy with her husband, Josh Villalta, marking their first child together, as per Loudersound.

She shared this news via an Instagram post alongside Villalta, who also serves as her manager.

Strauss describes the pregnancy as a “miracle” and indicates that their son is expected to be born in the summer.

Known as The Hurricane, she has been a member of Alice Cooper‘s band since 2014, succeeding Orianthi.

In 2022, she temporarily left Cooper‘s band to tour with pop artist Demi Lovato before rejoining in 2023.

Her professional achievements include releasing two solo albums and becoming the first female solo artist to top rock radio with her 2021 single “Dead Inside.“

Her performance history also encompasses touring with Jermaine Jackson and performing as part of the band for the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams.

Congratulations to the couple!

Looks like 2026 will be the best year yet ☺️💙 we’ve waited so long for this miracle and now the time is finally here! He will come into this world surrounded by so much love!

So excited to meet our little man this summer 

A little less conversation, a little more “Revenge”, please. Well, at least that’s what Alice Cooper wants! Although there have been collaborations on several of Cooper’s albums over the past 14 years, the shock rocker’s reunion with his bandmates from the original Alice Cooper group in July for “The Revenge of Alice Cooper” marked the first full album that Cooper, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, and Neal Smith (and, via technology, the late Glen Buxton) had recorded together since “Muscle of Love” in 1973. “The Revenge…” received overwhelmingly positive reviews and charted all over the world, including the Top 20 on Billboard’s Independent Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts. And from Cooper‘s perspective, it will occur once again.

I think we’ll probably do another album. I can’t see why we wouldn’t. This one did so well, we might as well do another one. I talked to (producer) Bob Ezrin the other night, and he said, ‘What do you think about…doing another album?’ It’s great with me. We haven’t talked to the guys about it yet, so it’s certainly not a done deal. But I’d be willing to do it, for sure. It was interesting the album took off as much as it did…which is great for an album that’s 53 years old. The funny thing was we accidentally made a 1975 album. We didn’t try to make it sound like 1975, but when we all got into the studio and started writing and started doing it, it just turned out 1975. There’s so many young bands trying to sound like 1975, or the 70s sound, and we weren’t even looking to do that. But it ended up being that, ’cause that’s what we sound like when we get together.
