LOCASH star Preston Brust and his wife, Kristen Brust, just shared joyous news of their growing family.
The couple announced that they’re expecting their third child in a new interview with PEOPLE and on their social media channels. The new addition to the Brust family is set to arrive in June 2023, Kristen shared in a heartwarming post on Instagram on Thursday (February 16).
“it’s been so sacred and so cozy here,” Kristen said as she shared a photo bearing her baby bump. “our sweet bubble of the carrying, the growing. the privacy of our nest and our collection. the itty bitty kicks and the sound and flicker of a new heartbeat. the redemption of that rhythm has been so healing to our souls.
“and so while we have soaked in the privacy and the quiet, sharing life with you is also important to us,” Kristen continued. “I know villages love and villages grow people so differently. the prayer warriors i have in this space climb mountains with me like nothing i have witnessed. so with very full hearts we ask for your prayers and your big love around our newest lion cub. …slow, sacred abundance. bold prayers. intentional growing. God’s full promises. trusted territory indeed. ✨ we love you so much already, babylion4.”
Kristen also added a heartfelt message to other women: “is never lost on me how one woman’s new chapter is another woman’s gut punch. the sanctity of this journey is something i fully anchor in. if you are struggling, wishing, praying, mourning your own family, know that i pray for you and with you daily. i truly do. my mama heart honors your’s in every way. your story matters. your babies matter. here and heaven. i am lending you hope where it can land in your heart. today and always. thank you for sharing this space with me. and while i am gifted to grow this heartbeat i always respect + honor your hearts too. xoxo. ::: kb))”
Preston and Kristen’s rep confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE that they’re expecting their third child, who will join big brother and big sister Legend Wilde, 4, and Love Lily, 7. Preston — who performs in LOCASH with duo partner Chris Lucas — told the outlet that “seeing and listening to a new heartbeat was incredibly poetic for us.” On LOCASH’s Instagram account, he shared a reel of heartwarming family photos, asking social media followers: “Whatcha Think? 💖or💙?”
The announcement quickly drew congratulatory messages from some members of country music’s adorable couples, including RaeLynn, Hayley Hubbard (Tyler Hubbard’s wife), Amber Smith (Granger Smith’s wife), Kailey Dickerson (Russell Dickerson’s wife), Taylor Mills Young (Brett Young’s wife) and many others.
Jana Kramer is also celebrating the announcement… The actress, country artist and podcast host just kicked off her “Whine Down Tour,” and gushed over Brust’s baby bump. Kramer shared two photos with Brust and Kathryn Vieira Woodard, including a heartwarming image of all three women with their hands on Brust’s baby bump.
“First night of the two night Whine Down Boston shows was SO. MUCH. FUN. AND…..swipe right to see the baby bump get all the love on its first show!” Kramer gushed. “So happy for you @kristen.brust. Love this little lion already”
