Engagements and baby announcements are running rampant in country music this holiday season. On Christmas Day, Kelsea Ballerini and Kacey Musgraves announced their engagements and Ashley Monroe announced that she and her husband are expecting their first child. Yesterday (Dec. 26), Love and Theftâs Stephen Barker Liles and his wife Jenna joined in the fun by announcing that they are expecting their second child and revelaed the babyâs genderâa girlâin the cutest way.
The new baby girl will join big brother Jett in the family, making the Liles household a family of four. On Christmas morning, Jett got one heck of a present from his parents. Stephen and Jenna had Jett open a box that contained a helium balloonâwhich floated out of the boxârevealing the babyâs gender.
âWe could have found out the sex of the baby [before now], but it was worth the wait. We couldnât be more excited. We havenât decided the name yet. We both come from big families and are excited to start our own big family,â said Stephen in a statement.
Not only will 2017 bring a new baby for Stephen, but Love and Theft have also signed with a new label, Curb Records, and released their new single, âCandyland,â which will get a big push at the beginning of next year.
Weâre looking forward to big things from Love and Theft in the new year. Congratulations to the growing family.
Watch how Stephen and Jenna revealed the gender of their baby to 3-year-old Jett.
