And the Nashville baby boom continues!
On Thursday, June 8, Love and Theft’s Stephen Barker Liles and his wife Jenna grew to a family of four when they welcomed their second child, a girl, to the world. Born at 2:13 p.m., Rayni Bell was born in a Nashville area hospital and weighed in at 8 lbs., 8 oz.
“Everything went smoothly and our doctor was amazing,” Liles told PEOPLE. “We feel so blessed and excited to start this next chapter. I admire my wife so much. She is such an amazing mom! I’m a lucky man.”
The baby girl joins Jett, 3½, who is “so excited” for his new role as big brother.
“He brought Rayni a new little lamb stuffed animal and she gave him a new hockey helmet! He didn’t want to let anyone else hold her,” Liles shared.
Prior to Rayni’s entry into the world, Liles has kept fans updated on her arrival status. From the hospital, the Florida native revealed that he had to cancel his CMA Fest appearances while waiting for his baby girl.
“Baby girl coming soon we hope!Had to cancel cma fest signings today other than our 2:35 performance At the #chevy stage! But we will see! She’s already stubborn! -s,” he wrote with a snap of the hospital room.
The couple revealed they were expecting right after Christmas when they shared a photo collage of family pictures which included a snap of Stephen and Jett with their hands on Jenna’s baby bump.
Love and Theft is currently working on their fourth studio album, set for release later this year. The project will include their song “Love Wins,” which is available on iTunes now.
