Gabby Barrett Welcomes Third Child: Ivy Josephine
“Our third baby arrived earth side early this morning, at home,” the couple wrote collectively, later adding, “Another life to love and cherish. Praising God for His kindness!”
The announcement came in the form of a photo showcasing her newborn baby girl’s feet wrapped in a blanket.
The social media post concluded with Barrett and Foehner unveiling their second daughter’s full name: Ivy Josephine Foehner. Barrett also shared Ivy Josephine’s nickname, Ivy Jo.
Barrett and Foehner have never shared photos of their kids faces, and it appears they will continue to do so, as they announced the arrival of their third child with a photo of her feet.
Pregnancy Announcement
The couple first announced their pregnancy in August 2023, where they took to social media via a joint post to reveal the news with fans. In doing so, the beloved country couple shared a photo on Instagram, which they simply captioned, “SWIPE for a surprise 🩷 #livingthedream.”
The image captured Barrett and Foehner seated together on a staircase that she uses as part of her live show production. The photo’s focus point however was a speaker that sat front and center on the image, displaying the message “baby #3” accompanied by two hearts. The third slide of the post featured Barrett laying in bed with a Baby Doppler on her belly listening to their third child’s heartbeat.
How Many Kids Does Gabby Barrett Have?
The American Idol alums, Barrett and Foehner, are also parents to Augustine Boone, who was born in October 2022, and Baylah May, who they welcomed in January 2021. Together, the couple are now the parents to three children, one son and two daughters.
Gabby Barrett and Cade Foehner met in 2018 when they both appeared on Season 16 of American Idol. Their relationship continued to flourish, and Foehner proposed in March 2019. Following a short engagement, the pair tied the knot on October 5, 2019, during a small wedding in Garrison, Texas.
New Album, Chapter & Verse
The news comes just weeks after the release of Gabby Barrett’s new album, Chapter & Verse, which arrived on February 2, 2024, via Warner Music Nashville.
The 14-track project was co-produced by Barrett alongside Ross Copperman and will dive deeper into her experience as a wife, mother, and more. The title, Chapter & Verse, alludes to the sections and passages found in each book of the Bible, mirroring the ongoing chapters in her marriage, family, career, and the broader narrative of her life journey.
“I’m way more intentionally connected to these songs than my first album, I would say. Every song moves me in a certain way, and it’s just me grown up. The past years that I’ve lived, I’ve lived a lot of years in a short amount of time. It’s grown up, it’s fresh, and I’m hoping people really can resonate with it,” she previously told Entertainment Tonight.
The album features “You’re My Texas,” a song co-written by Miranda Lambert that serves as a full-hearted love letter to her husband and the Lone Star State, “Growin’ Up Raising You,” a track that details the realities of navigating motherhood as a young parent, “Cowboy Back,” which serves as an ode to her husband, as well as her current single, “Glory Days,” a tune that finds the powerhouse vocalist reflecting on the importance of living in the moment and encouraging listeners to never take the little things for granted.
Chapter & Verse also includes “Dance Like No One’s Watching,” a tune written by Luke Combs, as well as “The Verse: Doxology (Amen),” a duet with Phil Wickham and more.
