Russell Dickerson and his wife, Kailey, are growing their family once again. The couple proudly announced they are expecting their third child together, sharing the exciting news with fans in a sweet social media post on Wednesday (July 30).
The announcement came in the form of a beachside video soundtracked by “Famous Back Home,” Dickerson’s song that celebrates the importance of family and feeling the most pride about the life he’s built at home. The montage opens with Kailey holding her growing baby bump as she watches the waves roll in before showing the couple soaking up quality time with their two sons, Remington, 5, and Radford, 3.
Dickerson’s voice can be heard delivering the last chorus of the tune, which documents the emotions of finding out some “good news” after taking a Walgreens test and seeing two lines appear.
“Hey baby, I got some good news/ Took a Walgreens test and it’s true”/ Little lines, tears in her eyes, “You’re the best dad that I know,” it’s/ Paper planes and tire swings spinnin’/ A slow dance alone in the kitchen/ One more face in that hallway Hall of Fame framed in gold/ I’m livin’ the dream, yeah, I’m a household name/ I got everything here at Kevin Court 108/ Yeah, I’m famous back home.”
Throughout the video, the family exudes so much happiness as they share hugs, laughs, and memorable moments on the beach as they prepare to become a family of five.
The couple captioned the post, “One more face in that hallway hall of fame. ✨🖼️✨”
They received a tremendous amount of love in the comment section from fans as well as fellow country artists and their wives.
Carly Pearce wrote, “AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!”
Emily Ann Roberts gushed, “Omg!!!! I’m so thrilled for yall!!!🤍”
Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany said “Eeeeeeeeek❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️” while Luke Combs’ other half commented “YAYAYYY!!!”
Russell and Kailey first met in 2008 while attending Belmont University in Nashville and then tied the knot in 2013. They welcomed their first son Remington Remington Edward Dickerson in September 10, 2020 followed by their second son, Radford Arthur Dickerson, who arrived on October 1, 2023.
In between those joyful moments Kailey opened up about suffering a miscarriage in 2022, sharing a gut-wrenching message about the pain she endured after losing a child at eight weeks.
“It felt like drowning and trying to swim towards sun to find the surface,” she shared. “I didn’t know if I’d ever share this, but something about going into this next year, I needed to leave this news in 2022. The loss; however, is something that will always be written into our story. I know I’ll share more about it when I’m ready, but for now, and for the last several months, I’m holding these two extra close…,” she wrote at the time.
The couple has found so much light in their lives since that time, and with another baby on the way, they have so much to celebrate as a family.
The news arrives just a few months after Russell Dickerson wrapped up his headlining RUSSELLMANIA Tour in May. His schedule has remained packed throughout the summer with performances at fairs and festivals and he will continue with various shows through October.
