Sam Hunt shared rare photos of his family in a post on Instagram on Wednesday (June 26).
“Lots of love on their mother’s side,” Hunt wrote in his caption as he posted several snapshots of his wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, and two children, daughter Lucy Louise and son Lowry Lee. Hunt’s daughter celebrated her second birthday last month. The country star’s son, whose name his a combination of Hunt’s middle name and Fowler’s middle name, made his arrival in late October 2023.
“I think what I have enjoyed most about fatherhood is the sense of purpose,” Hunt previously said in a statement shared by his record label. “It’s deep, and it’s something I couldn’t have imagined until I experienced it. It gives such meaning to all, all that I’m doing in life, all the little mundane things that I might have done by myself before having kids, now have all this weight and meaning when I do them with my children. I’ve got my little girl who’s coming up on two years old who is growing and changing every day, and I’m having a lot of fun with her. I have my first son, just a few months ago, who is growing fast and a lot of fun.
“Lucy, Lucy the Ouise (Wheeze) — we call her Ouisy (Wheezy) — Ouisy’s having a big time with her little brother, and one kid feels like a family, but two kids now feels like a big family,” he continued. “And it’s a lot of responsibility, but I feel like I’m walking in God’s will now more so than I ever have at any point in my life. So, I’m just eternally grateful for these little miracles and smelling the roses and soaking it in every day.”
Earlier this year, Hunt released Locked Up, a 4-track EP that includes his Johnny Cash-inspired single and music video, “Country House,” “Last Hurrah,” and “Outskirts.” Hunt said when he released that project that it’s “a chapter that I’m closing and hopefully will start the next one soon after.” Hunt is set to kick off his headlining “Locked Up Tour” on Friday (June 28) in Bend, Oregon. The tour includes Russell Dickerson, Dalton Dover and George Birge. See the list of tour stops here.
