Lauren Alaina is pregnant!
The 30-year-old country singer confirmed the happy news that she’s expecting her first child with husband Cam Arnold after she teased her pregnancy in her new music video for “Those Kind of Women,” which premiered Wednesday (January 22).
“[I didn’t know] I can love something that I haven’t even really held yet. I feel the baby inside me, and it’s kicking me and doing all of the things. It’s like I was the Grinch or something, and my heart grew,” she said in a statement to People.
Lauren and Cam married in February 2024.
“My love for him grew that day of getting married, and then finding out we were having a baby together. Walking through this experience with him has been unbelievable,” she explained.
“I’m looking forward to watching my husband be a dad. He is so obsessed with our animals; he’s a big nurturer in general. In fact, when I was getting ready to marry him, that was something that I knew would be one of the best things about being his wife, was being able to parent with him.”
Lauren admitted they planned to start trying for a baby at the end of 2025.
“Now I’m scared because I don’t feel like I passed any sort of test. They don’t make you take a test on being a mom. It’s crazy. People are like, ‘What’s your plan with the birth? And what’s your plan here?” And I’m like, listen, ‘God’s plan. It wasn’t my plan,’” she says.
She also noted that it’s been an important source of joy following her father’s death in July.
“I do think that my dad passed away and got a stair up in heaven and was like, ‘Hey, we got to work something out down there to send the family something good.’ And it has been such an unexpected blessing. We obviously still talk about and are dealing with the grief of my dad, but this baby has healed a lot of that for us … like it’s a little piece of my dad that will live on,” she noted.
She teased that their baby will be named after a family member, but did not reveal the sex yet. Congratulations to the happy family! Find out which other celebs are expecting babies in 2025.
