‘In case you didn’t know’ — Brett Young is going to be a dad! The singer and his wife Taylor announced their exciting news early Saturday morning (4/6).

“We have always shared the same heart for wanting a family,” Young shared with PEOPLE of their exciting news. “I love knowing that we get to give this little one an amazing life, and I just can’t wait for the future ahead of us as a family. We are so blessed!”

The couple first learned they were expecting in February after deciding to take a pregnancy test on a whim.

“I was in shock when it read positive. I really just didn’t believe what I was seeing,” said Taylor. “After it sunk in, I was so happy and so overwhelmed that I just started crying — happy tears of course! Brett and I hugged, kissed and talked for hours about how long we had been wanting this and how excited we are to become parents.”

Added the mom-to-be, “Brett is so good with kids — he’ll be an incredible dad. I think being a father will come so naturally to him. He’s kind, patient, and a good listener, but he’s also a goofball and isn’t afraid to have fun. Family is so important to both of us, so I don’t have a single doubt in my mind that he will be a very present and involved father and that our child and family will always come first.”

The couple, who wed in November after 10 years of dating, will welcome their first child in the fall.
