Taylor Kerr took to Instagram with a precious new family photo to mark what would have been her baby’s due date. The Maddie & Tae singer and her husband Josh Kerr look lovingly at their daughter in the photo shared on Wednesday (April 6). Fans and fellow country artists — including Hannah Ellis and RaeLynn — gushed over the sweet moment for the Kerrs.
Josh and Taylor announced the pregnancy in November, saying at that time that “baby Kerr is joining us earthside in spring ‘22 and we are already so deeply in love.” Instead, however, their daughter arrived early. She was born on January 17.
Leighton Grace Kerr spent more than 50 days in the NICU before she finally came home last month. Taylor and Josh had “been blown away by all of the support and can’t thank you enough for praying her home,” they shared when they brought Leighton home on March 11. The proud parents shared when Leighton was born that she is “beautiful, strong and everything we have ever dreamed of. she decided to be a Capricorn like her daddy. we already can’t wait for the day we get to finally take her home 💜.” See their heartwarming family photo here:
