Gabby Barrett Looking Forward To Adding ‘Another Girl’ To Family

By Movieguide® Contributor

Country singer Gabby Barrett is looking forward to welcoming Baby No. 3—and adding another girl to the family!

“[I’m excited about] having another girl and another girl personality in the house,” she said while walking the red carpet at the first-ever People’s Choice Country Awards.

Barrett explained, “My first was a girl, second was a boy, third will be a girl again. So love girls, love raising my first one. So, lots of personalities in the house.”

The singer added that her oldest child, daughter Baylah May, “understands that there’s a baby” and is excited about having another sibling.

“She always feels my belly and lays on it and kisses it, which is very sweet,” Barrett said. “She’s 2½, and so she understands it all and is very excited for her sister.”

She and husband Cade Foehner announced her pregnancy earlier this year in an Instagram post, writing, “#livingthedream.”

Barrett has shared some of the lessons she has learned about being a parent over the last few years.

“What I’ve learned about myself is probably to be more grateful to my parents for what they have done for me,” she said. “It takes a lot to be a parent. It takes a lot to be a mother trying to balance another job.”

Movieguide® previously reported on how faith has played a role in Barrett’s career success and family life:

Although Barrett is thankful for the payoff of her hard work, she also notes that she holds on to her down-to-earth roots and, most importantly, her faith in God.

“I like to show people on social media [my real life]. Social media can portray just a lot of the positive things and the upsides…but not the nitty gritty of life,” Barrett said, adding that God is at the center of her family: “When I first got married, that changed me in a lot of different ways. It makes you grow up in a lot of different ways and then when you have a baby, you grow up in even more ways. My husband and I are very large Christians and we’re very firm in our beliefs.”

She continued: “There is a term in the Christian faith called ‘dying to yourself,’ and definitely when you have a baby you learn to die to yourself and everything is just about them. And it’s actually really helpful because you definitely become more selfless and help other people in a lot of different ways.”
