Sam Hunt is going to be a dad again!
The country singer, 39, is expecting his third child with wife Hannah Lee Fowler, sharing the news on Audacy’s Katie & Company podcast. “It’s about to become a reality,” he said, revealing that Fowler is pregnant and expecting their third child in May. – I’m excited, I can’t wait!
Hunt said the couple’s oldest daughter, Lucy Louise, 2½, doesn’t fully understand that she’s getting a sibling, but she’s excited nonetheless.
“We talk about it. I say, mommy’s got a baby on the way and we’ll point to her belly and she says, ‘No, I’ve got a baby on the way,'” Hunt said, laughing.

As he prepares to release new music, Hunt said he has no plans to tour because he wants to spend more time with his family.
“Hopefully – in the next couple of years – I’ll take a break from touring,” he said. “The crowd was so big and I want to go there and tour while my kids are very young and can go with me…and while people are interested in coming to see us because I don’t want to take it for granted.”
Hunt’s exciting news comes a year after the couple welcomed their baby son, Lowry Lee. A rep for Hunt confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE at the time that he and Fowler welcomed a baby boy named Lowry Lee on Tuesday, Oct. 24.
Their second baby’s names come from his parents’ names — Lowry is Hunt’s middle name and Lee is Fowler’s.
A week earlier, the country star announced the arrival of their second baby with a photo of their new family of four on Instagram, simply captioning the post “Thank you, Lord.”
This past spring, a representative for the couple confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple is expecting their second child together after the musician announced the exciting news at his Las Vegas concert at the Resorts World Theater.
Hunt previously announced that he and his wife welcomed their first baby together during his performance at the Stars for Second Harvest benefit concert in Nashville in 2022.
“[Fatherhood] it gave me such a sense of purpose – at home and out on the road. A new appreciation for life in general,” he said on Audacy’s Katie & Company podcast in September 2022 “I think I progressed overnight, evolved 10 or 20 years overnight.”
