Guyton announced her pregnancy in late August of 2020, just after the release of her critically-acclaimed EP, Bridges.

“Even in times of darkness, like the ones we as a society find ourselves in today, God always finds a way to shine His light on the beautiful side of life, like the miracle of life itself,” she wrote at the time. “I’m so excited to announce that I’m having a baby! My life completely changed in an instant. Literally nothing else matters. I’m so excited and terrified all at the same time. I have no idea what I am doing but am so thankful that God chose me to be this baby’s mom.”

Baby Grayson is Guyton and Savoy’s first child. The couple wed on June 26, 2017 in Kauai, Hawaii.
