Nick Carter of the boy band The Backstreet Boys has welcomed his second child into the world! His wife, Lauren Kitt Carter, gave birth to a baby girl just a few days ago.

Nick and Lauren chose a beautifully unique name for their little girl, Saoirse Reign. Saoirse is an Irish name that means “Freedom”. Nick is already quite the doting father to daddy’s little girl!

Saoirse shares a middle name with her older brother, Odin. Odin is Nick and Lauren’s first child together. They welcomed him into the world in April of 2016.

Nick and Lauren have had their share of troubles in conceiving a child. Lauren suffered miscarriages in the past as they tried to grow their family. In his caption announcing the birth of his daughter, Nick pays testament to Lauren’s fertility issues. “To my incredibly strong wife…For 2 years I watched you endure some of the hardest things a husband could ever witness. Going through the ups and downs of pregnancy all in the hopes that just maybe, with a little help from up above, we would get to this point. I’ll never forget the moment You asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I said nothing. But deep down inside I knew what I really wanted. So on January 28th 2019 when I walked out of that bathroom with that positive test I already knew that Saoirse was coming back to us. I just want to thank you for giving me the Life, Love and family that I always wanted. You are a true Warrior and I love you.”

We are so happy for this beautiful couple and wish them all the best!
