Brantley Gilbert is Practicing ‘Dad Hobbies’ Ahead of Baby Boy’s Arrival
He's been working on his new hobby for nearly four months now.
It has been a long road to parenthood for Brantley Gilbert and his wife Amber, but after years of trying to conceive, the couple is excitedly preparing for their baby boy. Becoming a father has been an emotional journey for Gilbert, who finds himself tearing up over his son from time to time.
“I’m a little bit emotional about this stuff right now. I can’t look at an ultrasound picture without crying. Only about that, that’s it. That is literally the one thing that may get a tear out of my eyes is this baby,” shared the Georgia native.
While emotions are high, that’s not stopping “The Devil Don’t Sleep” singer from adopting some classic “dad” traits.
“I’m trying to find some ‘Dad Hobbies,’ so I have been trying golf for the past four months,” he told Billboard.
While he’s soaking in some new hobbies, Gilbert is also absorbing any piece of advice he can get from someone who’s done their fair-share of child-rearing before… his mom Becky.
“She always has great advice,” he admitted. “I think we all think that about our mothers. She raised me and put up with me, so she definitely has had some helpful advice to raising this little fellow.”
The couple will welcome their baby boy in November 2017. In the meantime, Brantley Gilbert will continue his run on his headlining The Devil Don’t Sleep Tour with special guests Luke Combs and Tucker Beathard.
