Cole Swindell and his wife, Courtney, have dropped another piece of big news regarding their just-announced pregnancy.  On the morning of Wednesday, March 12, the first-time parents-to-be unveiled the gender of their first baby using a heartwarming video posted to Instagram.

Filmed during the photoshoot for their March 3 announcement, the video starts in black and white as the couple holds up a baby onesie. As soon as they pin the tiny outfit onto the clothing line, it turns to color, revealing the exciting news that they are expecting a baby girl.

Swindell closes out the video by placing their sonogram photo above the onesie and flashing a big smile alongside his beautiful wife. The country star also set the video to the new, stripped-down rendition of his latest single, “Forever To Me (Our Version).”

The couple captioned the post, “We can’t wait to meet you 🫶🏼”

This news comes just a few days after sharing the news of their pregnancy with the world. Once again, the lovebirds made the official announcement on social media using a carousel of heartfelt moments, starting with a black and white photo of them embracing with a clothing line of baby onesies strung in front of them

In the following slides, they continue to document this next chapter their life with images of their sonogram and a young family member proudly sporting a “Big Cousin” embroidered sweater. Plus, Swindell proudly showed off his new role as a dad using a baseball cap that read “Dad,” a pair of tennis shoes with a positive pregnancy test inside, and another look at the sonogram.

Their caption revealed that “Baby Swindell” will be coming sometime in 2025.

The “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” singer tied the knot with his other half nearly nine months ago with a small, intimate ceremony in Sonoma, California on June, 12, 2024. At the time, they proudly shared this life update with the world in an Instagram post that also debuted Courtney’s Instagram handle featuring her new last name – Courtneylswindell.

“The Swindells 6.12.24 🤍” they wrote alongside a carousel of scenic snapshots from their big day that were captured by Madison Emily Hare Photo.

We don’t know for sure when the couple started dating, but it’s likely the couple has been together for several years. Courtney, a former NBA dancer and the 2017 Miss Teen North Carolina who now acts as co-owner of The Little Sisters Boutique, previously appeared in Swindell’s music video for his song “Some Habits,” which dropped in the fall of 2021.

Their love continued to grow stronger and stronger each year until finally, Swindell got down on one knee and proposed on May 8, 2023.

His caption at the time read, “Still couldn’t tell ya everything I said down on one knee… All I know is she said “YES”! 💍

 “We’re so excited,” he added.

Little also shared a heartfelt note that read, “Woke up as future Mrs. Swindell 💍 I’ve never been so happy. I can’t believe we are ENGAGED!!!!! 🥹”

As he awaits the arrival of his first baby girl, Cole Swindell will head overseas in March to serve as support for Cody Johnson’s Leather Deluxe Tour. These shows will mark his first time performing in Australia and New Zealand.
