By Movieguide® Contributor
Former AMERICAN IDOL contestant Gabby Barrett just welcomed her third baby with her husband, Cade Foehner.
In an Instagram post, she shared a photo of her new daughter’s feet, with the caption, “Our third baby arrived earth side early this morning, at home. Another life to love and cherish. Praising God for His kindness! Ivy Josephine Foehner.”
Fans expressed congratulations to the new parents.
“I admire you all…stay in God, raise those babies, love one another as God designed and make amazing music!! You are blessed,” one user commented.
“Way to go, Gabby and Cade! [He] has blessed you two greatly!” another user said.
Barrett participated in AMERICAN IDOL season 16 in 2018 and finished in third place. She met her husband, who was also a contestant, on the show.
PEOPLE previously reported, “The musicians first met in 2018 while they were both competing on season 16 of American Idol. While neither singer walked away with the competition’s first-place prize, they did come out of the experience in love. Barrett and Foehner’s TV romance quickly turned into a serious relationship, and the pair announced their engagement a year after their season of AMERICAN IDOL wrapped.”
In an interview last year at the People’s Choice Country Awards, Barrett shared her excitement for the new baby girl.
“My first was a girl, second was a boy, third will be a girl again. So love girls, love raising my first one,” she said. “So lots of personalities in the house.”
“My first understands that there’s a baby and what’s in mom’s belly. And she always feels my belly and lays on it, and kisses it, which is very sweet,” she continued. “She’s 2½ and so she understands it all and is very excited for her sister.”
Barrett has been outspoken about her faith and incorporates it into her music.
Most recently, she partnered with Phil Wickham to release their rendition of the classic “The Verse Doxology (Amen).”
In an announcement on Instagram, she shared, “I am so thankful to have collaborated with @philwickham on such a special song, one that will forever touch the Christian heart, deeply. Phil, thank you for your witness & help on creating something that will go on to praise God while on earth.”
Movieguide® previously reported on Barrett:
Country music star, Gabby Barrett opened up about her faith and her plan to create a Christian album.
The recent conversation with Christian Headlines came after Barrett was featured on Colton Dixon’s song, “Build a Boat.”
In reference to Dixon’s team, Barrett told Christian Headlines, “I had actually loved the song before they even reached out. I heard it on the radio, downloaded it on my phone. I was listening to it and – no joke – probably like three days later, after I downloaded it, my team was like, ‘Hey, there’s this singer named Colton Dixon and he has this awesome song.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, I already listen to it. And I love it.’ So I absolutely wanted to jump on it.”
Barrett, 23, has already had two No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart and a third song that made it into the Top 10.
