Kerr and her husband, songwriter, Josh Kerr, took to social media to share the news today (11/14) revealing he arrived early and is currently gaining more strength before coming home from the NICU.
“Chapel Shields Kerr surprised us on October 29th and we are absolutely in love with our perfect little boy,” Tae wrote alongside photos of the baby boy. “He’s making big moves in the NICU and we can’t wait to have him home with us soon.”
This is baby #2 for Taylor and Josh who welcomed their daughter Leighton Grace in January 2022. During Maddie & Tae’s appearance at CMA Fest in June, Kerr announced her pregnancy and shared her excitement to have a son.
“We’re having baby number two late this fall,” Tae shared with Audacy’s Rob + Holly while showing off her baby bump in a pink dress at the time. “I have a two-year-old girl, but this one is a boy and Maddie is already a boy mom, so I’m like [asking her] ‘What are all the tips?!’”
Duo partner Maddie Font welcomed her son, Forrest Henry, last September and was more than ready to offer up advice for Tae, as well as supply her with all her best hand-me-downs. “I gotchu girl,” Maddie said confidently. “I gave her all the hand-me-downs, she’s ready to go! I saved them all [because] I know she wanted a boy so bad so I was manifesting, I had the bag packed ready to go.”
Ready to support her bestie in any way she can, Maddie said her biggest piece of advice for Tae — or any new boy mom — is to “Change diapers quickly! It’s just an art form,” she laughed. “It just has to be fast!”
With growing families, new music, and songwriting careers, the duo says they are living the lives they always dreamed of and hope to inspire other women who feel like they have to pick between raising a family and chasing a dream.
“We’ve always wanted to be moms,” Maddie expressed. “Being songwriters and musicians and being moms are like our two biggest dreams in the world. We don’t really sleep a lot and we kinda feel like zombies, but we are doin’ it and I think our goal is to just really show women that you truly can do it all. I can’t guarantee that you will get rest, but you can truly have it all — you don’t have to pick one or the other.”
