Gabby Barrett's 3 Kids: All About Baylah, Augustine and Ivy

American Idol students Gabby Barrett and Cade Foehner are the proud parents of their three children.

The couple – who met on the set of the hit ABC series in 2018 – tied the knot the following year in an intimate Texas ceremony. Just before their first anniversary, the newlyweds announced that they were expanding their family.

“We’re very excited,” Barrett told PEOPLE in 2020 about her and her husband becoming parents. “The Lord blessed us with a little one, and we’re really excited to finally share the news with everyone and just have a big old family celebration about it.”

The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Baylah May, in January 2021. She was joined by Augustine Boone in 2022 and Ivy Josephine in 2024.

“It’s a whole new world, honestly. All the clichés are so true — when you have kids, everything changes in your world; it just turns upside down,” Barrett told PEOPLE in 2021.

The Billboard Music Award winner — whose husband is the lead guitarist in her band — said she works hard to balance her family life with the demands of her career, which often includes bringing her children on the road.

“I try my best to really prioritize and dedicate X amount of time to music and X amount of time to family,” she told PEOPLE in 2024. “And right now, I think we’re in a really good balance.”

Here’s everything you need to know about Gabby Barrett’s three children: Baylah May, Augustine Boone and Ivy Josephine.

Barrett and Foehner became first-time parents with the birth of daughter Baylah May on January 18, 2021.

“We got to spend a very sweet week with our newest addition.. meet our girl 🥰,” the proud mom wrote on Instagram at the time.

The “I Hope” singer later opened up during an appearance on The Bobby Bones Show about how their daughter’s unique nickname came about.

“Cade’s sister’s name is Bailey Blane and I was just trying to break away from that because I like the name Bailey, but I wanted something that was a little more original,” she said. “I was in the airport just messing around with it and I was like, ‘Bailey, Baylah,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, I like Baylah,’ and I wrote it down in my notes.”

“My sister was born in the month of May and so we made Baylah May,” she added.

Shortly after her arrival, Baylah joined her parents as they embarked on Thomas Rhett’s The Center Point Road Tour 2021.

“I’m really excited for her to be able to watch us from the side of the stage, and as she grows up, she’s more aware of what we’re doing and the songs and things like that,” she told Party tonight 2021. “And then eventually we’ll be able to write songs about her and it’ll be so sweet.”

In 2024, Barrett kept her promise and released “Growin’ Up Raising You,” a personal ballad from her second album, Chapter and verse.

“This song was especially written about my first born daughter Baylah. I’ve learned so much over the past few years watching my babies grow and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” she wrote on Instagram, promoting the new single.

When Barrett and Foehner aren’t on stage, Baylah can often be seen on her parents’ social media accounts enjoying everything from soaking up the beach air to spending some mother-daughter time at the spa for her second birthday.

“It’s kind of changed now from me doing it for me, to now doing it for her, and I’d rather it was that way,” Barrett told PEOPLE. – She is just my whole world now.

Barrett and Foehner welcomed their second child and first son, Augustine Boone, on October 27, 2022.

“Soaking up the newborn days with my little brother. What a precious gift from our Lord!” Barrett captioned the first public picture of the newborn, who also has big sister Baylah watching over him. “Augustine Boone Foehner 10.27.22 💙(pronounced UH-GUS-TIN).”

The singer later shared The Bobby Bones Show that she and Foehner call their son by his middle name, as Foehner does, and decided on another name that starts with B.

After Augustine was born, Barrett continued to include him in her work, and he starred in her music video for “Glory Days” when he was 8 months old. In the video, he can be seen playing in the kitchen, sitting comfortably on his mother’s chest and enjoying nature.

“What you’re seeing is literally my ‘Glory Days’ right now,” Barrett told CMT 2023 about the music video. “It’s sitting on the porch reading the Bible with my husband or rocking the baby while he sleeps. This video brings the text to life perfectly.”

“Seeing my sweet family in this video just melts my heart,” she added. “I feel so incredibly blessed.”

“Our third baby arrived on earth early this morning, home. Another life to love and cherish. I praise God for his goodness,” she captioned the post, which included a close-up of Ivy’s feet.

About 10 months after giving birth to Augustine, Barrett and Foehner announced they were expecting their third child and second daughter.

“My first was a girl, my second was a boy, my third will be a girl again. That’s why you love girls, I love raising my first,” she told PEOPLE in 2023. “So much personality in the house.”

Ahead of their daughter’s arrival, Barrett revealed that Baylah is excited about the imminent arrival and “gets it all.”

“My first one realizes there’s a baby and what’s in mommy’s belly. And she always feels my belly and lays on it and kisses it, which is really sweet,” she told PEOPLE. “She is 2 and a half years old, so she understands everything and is very excited about her sister.”
