Gabby Barrett and Cade Foehner of American Idol fame have announced that they are expecting their first child together!

The couple discovered they were pregnant in May of this year and will be expecting their new bundle of joy to arrive early next year. The couple also revealed the gender of their baby. Cade wrote in the caption of his post, “I have the most amazing Wife in the world. I can’t possibly come up with strong enough words to honor her as she has honored me in giving me a baby girl! Praise the Lord our God!” It’s a girl!

Gabby, 20, and Cade, 24, met on season 16 of American Idol in 2018. They became engaged in March of 2019. They tied the knot in October of the same year in an intimate ceremony in Garrison, Texas at Union Springs.

On being pregnant during the pandemic, Gabby shared with People, “[It’s] challenging in a way of it not being normally how it goes. I have to go to some appointments, unfortunately, without my husband, which is really sad,” she says. “But I mean, if that’s what keeps the baby safe, then that’s what we’re going to do. We’ve just been trying to find ways to really work with it, because that’s all we can do at this point.”

We wish Gabby and Cade all the best as they prepare to welcome their baby girl into the world.
