Country Artist Brooke Eden, Wife Announce 'We're Pregnant' With Baby No. 1

Brooke Eden and wife Hilary Hoover are expecting Baby No. 1.

The country artist, 35, reflected on the moment she learned Hoover, 34, was pregnant in an interview with PEOPLE: “We were in our kitchen and just held each other and cried for 10 minutes. I looked at the [pregnancy test] about a hundred times, and then of course we were waiting to confirm it a hundred percent with the doctor. And when we got that news, we were both so elated and just the happiest ever.

“The very first day that I met [Hilary], I told her she was meant to be a mom,” she continued in the interview, also speaking about the couple's decision to get pregnant, their longtime dreams of becoming parents, how Mother's Day felt this year with a baby on the way, and more. Eden said Hoover “just had such the most natural maternal instinct. We’ve known from the very beginning that we wanted to start a family together. It’s always just been a matter of when and how.”

The baby is due in early November, shortly after Eden and Hoover celebrate their two-year wedding anniversary. Eden gushed “it’s officially official,” as she shared photos from her wedding day on October 29, 2022. She said at that time that she and Hoover “waited almost 7 years for this day, so we wanted to go big! We decided to trap a bunch of our favorite people on a resort in Mexico and it’s been THE BEST week of our lives.”

Before the week in Mexico, Eden and Hoover got married in an intimate church ceremony in Nashville, Tennessee, bringing together their families, who are from Florida and Indiana. They told PEOPLE at that time that the Nashville ceremony was “the perfect way for our families to bond,” since they hadn’t spent much time with one another because they live so far apart. The then-newlyweds said it “was the most amazing thing watching our families fall in love.”

Hoover’s due date is November 7. See the photos they shared from PEOPLE here:
