Meghan Patrick and Mitchell Tenpenny Expecting First Child

Mitchell Tenpenny and his wife/fellow country singer/songwriter Meghan Patrick have revealed they’re expecting their first child together and shared that it will be a baby girl.

The couple shared an announcement with the world across social media on the morning of Tuesday, March 31 using an emotional video documents milestones in this journey so far. The video begins with the couple sitting at home enjoying some breakfast together. As Patrick is praying over their meal, she thanks God for all they have been given in life, including each other, before subtly revealing the news to her other half.

She ends by saying, “Most of all, thank you for my amazing husband, who I know is also going to be an amazing dad.”

Once Tenpenny hears her final words, he instantly turns to her with wide eyes and asks, “Wait, what? Are you kidding me?” A smile slowly creeps onto his face before turning into tears as they embrace in a tight hug and celebrate the new milestone that they are about to reach as a couple.

The following clips capture the lovebirds letting their loved ones know that they will soon be a family of three, tearful moments in the doctor’s office and finally, finding out the gender. They learned they would be having a daughter using the cake method, which found them each digging into a cake with a cup and pulling out the center to find pink frosting.

“And it’s a girl! Oh my God!,” Patrick exclaimed.

“We did it,” Tenpenny added with joy.

At the very end of the video, a text rose onto the screen revealing that their baby girl is set to arrive in the fall of 2026.

Their caption read, “We’ve been blessed with the greatest gift of all this year! God is so good and always right on time… we can’t wait to be Mom and Dad.”

This news comes just a few months after the couple celebrated three years of marriage in October. The artists first crossed paths in a Nashville bar, where Patrick caught Tenpenny’s eye in her camo ensemble. Four years later, Tenpenny got down on one knee and proposed in the very same bar.

They tied the knot in a rustic Tennessee wedding on Sunday, October 23, 2022 and they will be adding another fall milestone this year.

The parents-to-be are both busy on the road through the summer, with Meghan Patrick on her first U.S. headline run, dubbed the Golden Child Tour, with dates through July. Meanwhile, Tenpenny is nearing the end of his Speed of Light Tour which includes remaining stops in Nevada, California and Colorado before wrapping up in Wabash, IN on August 27.

The trek is named after the singer/songwriter’s latest release, which he penned with some of his “best friends,” Teddy Swims, Jesse Hampton, and Dallas Wilson. Tenpenny is known for having a slew of epic heartbreak songs in his catalog, but this time, he traded the sadness and anger for love.

Speaking on the idea behind the heartfelt, mid-tempo tune, Tenpenny shared, “We started the session talking about euphoric songs, songs that feel like outer space, and that’s how we ended up on ‘Speed of Light.’ When we finished, Teddy recorded it with his vocals. But the more I listened to it, the more I felt like it was my song—despite how challenging it is to go in and record after Teddy! I didn’t have a super great love song in my catalog that reflects who I am today, so this feels like my song.”
