Whiskey Myers’ John Jeffers and Wife Expecting First Child

Whiskey Myers’ guitarist John Jeffers and his wife Hope are expecting their first child.

The couple confirmed the news to PEOPLE, revealing that Hope’s pregnancy comes after a long journey of trying to conceive.

“This is an answered prayer during one of the most uncertain times, not only in the music industry but throughout the world,” John shared. “My new job consists of holding her hair back during morning sickness, Taco Bell runs and major decision making between chocolate pudding or chocolate ice cream. God truly does work in mysterious ways!”

The couple also shared the news via Instagram Thursday morning (May 7) by sharing a photo with a sign that reads “We Never Gave Up, Coming December 2020.”

“My wife Hope and I are blessed to say we are Pregnant!” Jeffers captioned on a Whiskey Myers’ Instagram video.

Additionally, Jeffers revealed to PEOPLE that he and his wife tried to conceive naturally for a year and a half with his wife going to “numerous doctors” before they turned to an alternative practice that helped them achieve pregnancy.

“We really wanted to try as hard as we could to conceive naturally and our last try was with a fertility acupuncturist. After a few months of weekly sessions with her, waaalahhhhh, pregnant!” Jeffers explained.
