Happy news! Country music star Maren Morris has announced she is pregnant and expecting her first child with husband Ryan Hurd.
The pair both announced the news on their Instagram accounts, confirming they are expecting a baby boy in March 2020.
Posting a snap of her baby bump alongside 32-year-old husband Ryan, Maren wrote: "The irony is just too rich that after a year of living in the 'GIRL' headspace, the universe would give us a baby boy to even things out. See you in 2020, little one."
Singer-songwriter Ryan, who married Maren in March 2018, also posted a photo of the couple with Maren's baby bump on display.
He cheekily captioned the post: "MY BOYS CAN SWIM. BABY BOY HURD 2020! Look at her... cannot believe this life with this girl.
"Also, thank you George Constanza for this caption that I’ve been sitting on my entire life..."
