Sam Hunt Quietly Welcomes Baby Number Two

Sam Hunt announced quietly that he and his wife Hannah had welcomed their second child into the world in early November. Sam revealed Baby Hunt No. 2 had arrived with a social post on Instagram, including a photo of him and his wife, his 2-year-old daughter Lucy Louise, and his wife holding the new baby.

We reached out to Sam's record label, and they did not know if the new baby was a boy or a girl at press time.

He captioned the photo on Friday (11/24)simply, "Thank you, Lord."

In April, Hunt announced on stage that he and his wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, were expecting their second child.

During Hunt's Las Vegas concert, the singer told the crowd that he and Hannah are expanding their family by one. The couple, who have been married since 2017, already share a two-year-old daughter, Lucy Louise.

Following a , the couple announced the news of their first child. She accused Hunt of marital misconduct in February 2022. The couple reconciled shortly after, and she asked the court to dismiss the case in May. During another concert performance in June of that year, Hunt revealed to fans that he welcomed their daughter, Lucy.

In an interview before the second baby was announced, Sam told us how his girl Lucy has affected his life. He said, "I mean, the way I experience everything on a day-to-day basis has drastically changed. I drove down to live outside of town; there's a little pond and gravel driveway; we live in a little cabin with a little pond several hundred yards from the cabin. When we first moved out there, I'd go down to the pond occasionally, but not really all that often."

He added that his thoughts and feelings are geared more toward his family. He said, "I have found myself over the past few months tapping into those feelings about family life and being home and having a new child and the responsibilities of being a father. I feel like having a child sort of woke me up from this mid-thirties slumber sort of thing. So, it's been awesome."

Over the years, country music stars have had their share of run-ins with the law. Some of them have even seen the inside of a jail cell. From the trouble Sam Hunt found himself in 2019 to the Kenny Chesney "horse incident" of 2000 and Wynonna entertaining fellow cellmates in Nashville, we look at the Top five country music arrests over the years.

Sam was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. The Nashville officer that stopped him wrote in the report, "There was an obvious odor consistent with alcoholic beverage coming from the defendant as well as red bloodshot and watery eyes." Hunt admitted to the officer that he had been drinking. In 2021, he pled guilty and spent 48 hours in the "alternate sentencing facility" DUI Education Centers.

Wynonna was pulled over by Nashville police while speeding in her Land Rover. According to the arrest report, Judd smelled of liquor, had dilated pupils, and couldn't remember how many drinks she'd had. When she consented to a Breathalyzer test, her blood alcohol level was .175, more than double the .08 minimum for a drunk driving charge. Wynonna is believed to be the only country star arrested that began singing to her fellow arrestees in the open booking area at the Nashville jail.

Country Music Hall Of Famer Randy Travis was arrested in Texas in 2012 for driving under the influence and crashing his 1998 Trans Am. When he was pulled over, he was naked. He told the trooper that arrested him in a dashcam video, "I pray to God that he will have a cancerous growth that infects his bones and every part of his body." He was sentenced to probation. Travis sued to block the dashcam video from being released but lost.
