Brantley Gilbert is still reeling from the birth of his baby boy on Nov. 11, he says in sharing the first photo of his new son on Instagram.
Gilbert shows off his pride and joy, Barrett Hardy-Clay Gilbert, in a sweet snapshot of the little one resting in the palm of his father’s hand and staring directly at the camera. Barrett is even flexing his little muscle as he makes a fist.
“Still speechless,” the singer writes next to the rare capture. Barrett was born on Saturday (Nov. 11), in Gilbert’s native Athens, Georgia, at 1:37PM in Piedmont Hospital, People confirms. He weighed 6 lbs., 7 oz., and was 20 inches long at birth. The newborn’s two middle names honor both Gilbert and his wife Amber’s families.
Clay pays homage to Gilbert’s late grandfather, and Hardy represents Amber’s family name. Barrett is a name the couple has had picked out for a while after they fell in love with it. “Honestly, I’m just speechless,” Gilbert says about witnessing the birth of his first child. “Watching the delivery, I don’t even know what to say. Amber and I are just so thankful and blessed to have this beautiful little boy.”
