Hailey Whitters is pregnant with Baby No. 1.
The “Everything She Ain’t” star announced on Sunday morning (August 24) that she and her husband, Jake Gear, will welcome a son by the end of the year. Whitters shared a few photos on Instagram cradling her baby bump and wrote in her caption: “our greatest production yet 🤍 baby boy coming in Nov!”
Whitters and Gear were together for more than a decade when they got married on October 1, 2022. The Corn Queen artist told PEOPLE at that time that she tied the knot in a “quaint country church” in her Iowa hometown, and hosted the reception on her father’s farm. She also said she and Gear waited to pain their wedding after getting engaged in July 2020 “because my family is gonna want to get loud and drunk and sweaty and dance — and that just didn't even sound safe (in the midst of the pandemic).” Gear said when he posted photos on Instagram that the couple’s wedding was the “best day of my life.”
Whitters is one of the latest artists to announce she’s welcoming a baby in 2025. Others with babies on the way include Lady A’s Charles Kelley, Scotty McCreery, Chris Lane, Hannah Ellis and more. See the growing list of pregnancy announcements here.
