Sam Hunt Opens Up About Life as a Father of Three

After taking some time off to help his family adjust to life with their newest addition, Sam Hunt is opening up about this joyful new chapter. He and his wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, welcomed their son Weyman Allen Hunt on May 21, 2025, marking their third child in just three years.

In a new interview with Audacy’s Katie Neal, the country hitmaker shared how life’s been lately, detailing the transition from two to three kids and sharing what fans can expect from him musically in the near future.

Though his sleep schedule has been impacted in recent weeks, Hunt says he’s been on “cloud nine” since welcoming baby Weyman Allen Hunt into the world. Just like his older children, Lucy Louise (born May 2022) and Lowry Lee (born October 2023), Weyman’s name continues a family tradition. His middle name, Allen, is passed down from Hunt’s own father, while Weyman reaches even further back into the family tree.

Adjusting To Three Kids In The House

When asked how his two older kids are adjusting to having a new baby brother, Hunt admitted that while it’s been a bit of an adjustment, they’re handling the change well overall.

“They’re getting old enough now. They’ll just kind of go off and do their own thing and still they understand how they need to be gentle and not so rambunctious around the baby. They’re learning that, but they’re getting better at it. So yeah, we’re all getting along,” he shared.

As for him and his wife, Hunt says the biggest challenge of becoming parents of three rather than two has been shifting his focus to the older kids while his wife, Hannah, devotes most of her time and energy to caring for the newborn.

“I think with new baby and mama, new baby needing so much time with Hannah that I have to be the distraction for the other two kids. So I’m pretty good with ’em, but it’s been rare up to this point that I’ve had ’em really just me without Hannah close by,” he admitted. “So all the little things like where are your shirts or where are your shoes? All these little things that Hannah’s always doing, getting dressed and that sort of thing, I have to now, I needed to know these things, but I have learned how to manage on my own.”

Finding Balance Between Work and Family

In the midst of all the chaos, Sam Hunt is content in knowing that he has found a good balance between releasing music, touring and having time at home with his family.

“Honestly, the pace that I’m keeping in terms of my music and touring now, I was concerned that it wouldn’t be enough to maintain the connection with the fans and the ability to go out and play these venues that we played in the past. But it’s been amazing to have fans that after 10 years and hopefully we’ve made some new fans along the way, but still come out to shows and even when maybe I haven’t been to their city in two or three years or maybe I haven’t put out as much music as some of the other artists on the radio, but they, they’re still showing up. So it really has given me some relief in terms of my time and attention.”

The “Liberty” singer has plenty of upcoming tour dates this summer taking place at various fairs, festivals and arenas across the U.S. On top of his performance schedule, the singer/songwriter has been steadily releasing music over the past few years and is now building out his next full-length album. Meanwhile, his fan-favorite single “Country House” continues to rise up the charts at country radio.

Halfway Through A New Album

He is currently halfway through the new project and can confidently say it “feels like the next chapter” for him musically.

“I think just thematically and just the approach, the one component I’ve got to figure out production wise is what to do next,” Hunt confessed. “I’m at a point where I’d like to, I don’t know if involve is the right word, but to lean into a more organic sound,” he explained. “So I’m trying to decide how important is some of the musical elements I’ve used in the past. How important is that to the sound going forward? You don’t want to break with what has gotten you here, but at the same time that youthful sound, I don’t want to be the old guy trying to do the young thing.”

Between this fall and next spring, Sam Hunt hopes to have a fully completed project that’s ready to finally share with his fans who have been waiting for a new album since 2020’s SOUTHSIDE collection.
