Country music star Sam Hunt has shared that he is preparing for the arrival of his third child with wife Hannah Lee Fowler. Speaking with iHeartCountry ahead of his performance at the 2025 iHeartCountry Festival in Austin, Texas, Hunt disclosed the happy news that their new baby will join their growing family, which includes daughter Lucy Louise, born in May 2022, and son Lowry Lee, born in October 2023.
Hunt humorously noted, “I have a feeling I’m gonna have to start pulling my weight with these babies,” acknowledging the significant efforts his wife has already contributed to their family. As they anticipate the new addition, he expressed his commitment to fully embracing his role as a father: “My wife, Hannah, has been doing more than her share so far… with No. 3, it’s gonna be an ‘all hands on deck’ situation.”
The “Outskirts” singer reflected on the profound sense of purpose that fatherhood brings, stating that it adds meaning to even the simplest tasks when done with his children. This sentiment resonates with many fathers who discover a deeper connection through parenting.
Hunt took the stage at the festival alongside notable artists like Brooks & Dunn, Thomas Rhett, and Cole Swindell, showcasing the spirit of camaraderie and celebration that characterizes the event. Viewers could enjoy the performances through Hulu and over 122 iHeartCountry stations nationwide.
In a sign of the joy that the new year will bring, Hunt isn’t alone in the excitement of welcoming new life—other artists like Lauren Alaina and Hillary Scott also announced pregnancies for 2025. The emerging trend among musicians hints at a wave of creativity and inspiration set to flourish in the coming years as they balance their careers with family life.
Overall, Hunt’s positive outlook on fatherhood and the excitement surrounding his growing family reflect the community’s support and the shared experiences among fellow artists in the country music scene.
