Walker Hayes is going to be a dad for the seventh time.
The country singer-songwriter’s wife Laney is pregnant, he shared at the 2017 CMA Awards Wednesday night in Nashville, Tennessee.
Posing on the red carpet alongside her husband, the mom-to-be looked radiant in a V-neck lilac gown and sparkling drop earrings.
“I got news, guys … No. 7 is on the way,” Hayes, 37, told The Bobby Bones Show during the evening. “We’re losing-our-minds excited.”
“Buy seven [copies]. Help me out!” the musician, whose album Boom hits virtual shelves Dec. 8, joked to the camera of his new music. “Honestly, we’re ecstatic … no one knows but y’all.”
