Gabby Barrett is expecting her second child, a boy, and she took a moment to answer fan questions on Insta stories last night (8/14) and talked about the new bundle of joy.
Gabby is currently touring with Jason Aldean and has a full schedule of shows, but as she shared, it hasn't been easy being pregnant on the road. She said, "Okay, I love performing; it is getting difficult. What people don't see is there is a lot of sitting around all day before the show, which makes everyone groggy."
She added, "I struggle with very low blood pressure every day in this pregnancy, which makes it hard to have the energy to perform."
Barrett did note that this pregnancy was a bit easier than her first one with her daughter, Baylah, "I had a very difficult first pregnancy but still a blessing, of course." When asked by a fan if this second pregnancy was planned, Gabby noted, "Not really. It was a clear prayer answered, though."
As for the new baby boy's name, she and her husband do not know yet. She said, "We are a bit stuck. We don't have an official full name as we did with Baylah right away. We will have to wait to see him."
The nominees for the 2022 ACM Female Artist of the year honor are Gabby Barrett, Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Ashley McBryde, and Carly Pearce.
