Sam Hunt shared previous family photos — including of his baby for the first time — over the weekend, and the country star’s social media followers gushed over the adorable father-daughter snapshots.
Hunt and his wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, welcomed firstborn child Lucy Lu last year. The “Women In My Life” artist first announced her arrival during a headlining benefit performance at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. He said at that time that although the music business had “sort of hardened my heart…it’s amazing how that little girl melted that all away overnight a couple weeks ago.”
Now, Hunt and his wife are getting ready to welcome Baby No. 2. He made the announcement during his two-night run at Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas last month.
“It’s changed drastically. I mean, the way I experience everything on a day-to-day basis is drastically changed,” Hunt recently said, per his record label, of his transition into parenthood. “I live outside of town, and there’s a little pond, a little gravel driveway. We live in a little cabin. There’s a little pond several hundred yards from the cabin. And, you know, when we first moved out there, I’d go down to the pond occasionally, but not really all that often and almost on a daily basis. I’ll take Lou down to the pond and just sit her down the edge on the top of the canoe or just in the grass there, and I experience the pond and the birds and whatever else is going on out there in nature in a way that I was just numb to before having a child. And so that goes for every other little thing, coffee in the morning or picking up a book and reading it as she’s playing on the floor. All those things that I maybe in the past, all of a sudden, I’m experiencing in a whole new way.”
