It’s a Boy For Charles Kelley and Wife, Cassie
Earlier this month, Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley and his wife Cassie revealed that after a two-year fertility struggle, they are expecting their first child together. The pair revealed the news on Cassie’s website, Womanista, and also detailed some of the set backs they encountered while trying to get pregnant.
As part of Good Morning America’s fertility week, Cassie took part in an interview, which aired this morning, where she opened up about their fertility struggle and also dished on the gender of their baby.
“We’re almost four months and I’m due in February and we just found out that we’re having a boy, which I just get choked up thinking about and we’re thankful, we’re so — blessed isn’t a strong enough word … We were up against some incredible odds and it still happened,” she said.
After several negative pregnancy tests, Cassie and Charles turned to a fertility specialist last November. They learned that Cassie has a condition that causes her body not to produce an egg every month. When they planned to start the IVF (in vitro fertilization) process, they were surprised (and excited!) to find out that Cassie was already pregnant.
“So many couples struggle each month to conceive a child, and I’m thankful to GMA for shining a spotlight on infertility this week,” the expectant mother shared on her website this morning after the GMA feature aired. “Modern medicine can truly work miracles…but the GREATEST miracle of all is the gift of life, which is always in God’s hands and is always in the perfect time.”
