Kimberly Perry, the former lead singer of The Band Perry, and her husband Johnny Costello are celebrating the birth of their baby boy, Whit. The couple announced the joyous news, sharing that Whit arrived weighing 7 pounds and 8 ounces, measuring 20 inches long. This marks the couple's first child.
In a statement, Perry expressed her excitement about becoming a mother, saying, "Welcome to the world, Whit. I feel like in just one short week, Dad and I have transitioned from a season of blooming into a super bloom. Our lives have become sweeter, our days fuller, and our sleep shorter, but our house has truly transformed into a loving home. We can't wait to show Whit the world – this little one is ready to embark on new adventures."
Perry also took to Instagram to share some heartwarming images of their newborn son.
In a separate Instagram post, the "Hip to Your Heart" singer posted an adorable close-up picture of baby Whit dressed in neutral colors, capturing his wide-eyed wonder. She accompanied the photo with a heartfelt caption quoting Psalm 139:13-16 from The Message translation, emphasizing the miraculous nature of life.
This happy moment follows Kimberly Perry's announcement of her pregnancy in April, which came amidst The Band Perry's creative hiatus. Perry and Johnny Costello tied the knot in June 2021, marking a new chapter in her life three years after her divorce from former MLB player J.P. Arencibia.
Perry shared her elation about the upcoming addition to their family in a social media post, expressing her gratitude and joy for being able to balance her career and motherhood simultaneously. She thanked her fans for their support and promised to keep them updated with more news about their new bundle of joy.
The birth of Whit brings immense happiness to Kimberly Perry and Johnny Costello as they embark on this new journey of parenthood, eagerly anticipating the adventures that lie ahead. Their love and joy are palpable, and they can't wait to share it with the world. Congratulations to the new parents!
