Country singer Lauren Alaina is going to be a mom! The “Getting Over Him” singer and her husband Cam Arnold are expecting their first baby together. Lauren revealed the news in her music video for her new song “Those Kind of Women.”
The singer teased her pregnancy in the video, which released today, for her latest song and later confirmed the news in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. Lauren wrote the song before becoming pregnant, and finds that it now takes on a whole new meaning. “It’s all about the women who raised me… I was really fortunate to be raised around a bunch of very strong women. And when we cut this song, when we recorded this song, I was not pregnant nor thinking about becoming pregnant.” Lauren continued, “It’s funny how things fell into place. It literally changed the song for me. I already loved it, because it’s about the women who raised me. But, now I am going to be a woman raising a child.”
In her interview, the American Idol runner-up said of her pregnancy that she didn’t know she could “love something that I haven’t even really held yet. I feel the baby inside me, and it’s kicking me and doing all of the things. It’s like I was the Grinch or something, and my heart grew.” The couple’s baby news comes less than one year after they tied the knot. Lauren and Cam, who started dating in 2020, got married in February 2024 in Nashville. The “Getting Good” singer shared how making a baby together bonded the couple even more than before. “My love for him grew that day of getting married, and then finding out we were having a baby together. Walking through this experience with him has been unbelievable.”
While Lauren didn’t reveal her due date or her baby’s sex, she did share that she and Cam have picked out a name for their baby. She teased that the baby will share a moniker with a family member. The little one’s moniker may take after Lauren’s father, who passed away last July. The singer spoke about how her baby has been a source of joy following her dad’s passing. “I do think that my dad passed away and got a stair up in heaven and was like, ‘Hey, we got to work something out down there to send the family something good.’ And it has been such an unexpected blessing. We obviously still talk about and are dealing with the grief of my dad, but this baby has healed a lot of that for us … like it’s a little piece of my dad that will live on.”
Congratulations to Lauren and Cam on the news of their first baby!
