John Osborne and his wife, singer-songwriter Lucie Silvas, have welcomed their twins!
The Brothers Osborne artist announced the birth of Maybelle and Arthur on Tuesday (March 21). Arthur was born at 1:43 a.m., weighing 3lb, 13oz, and Maybelle followed at 1:44 a.m., at 5lb, 1 oz, according to information John shared. He hailed his wife “a damn warrior princess.”
“Welcome to this crazy world, Arthur and Maybelle. It’s going to be a wild one,” John wrote in an Instagram caption as he shared the news. “[Lucie Silvas] - You’re a damn boss."
John and Lucie, who tied the knot in 2015, underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) to start their family. Lucie previously told PEOPLE: “It is such an amazing thing to be in this position to be growing two babies. When you think that you may never have the chance to have children and then suddenly you're going to have two, it's amazing.”
John announced that Lucie unexpectedly went into labor as he posted a statement on Brothers Osborne’s social media channels on Monday (March 20). John, who performs in the award-winning duo with brother TJ Osborne, dropped out of a benefit concert at Bridgestone Arena in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee. John wrote in his statement, in part: “Turns out my and Lucie’s twins, Maybelle and Arthur, have picked up the Osborne tradition of arriving unannounced and could be here any second now! Lucie is a damn warrior and is currently holding down the fort from the hospital bed as I type this.”
The star-studded event, LOVE RISING: A benefit concert and celebration of Life and Liberty, was organized to benefit the Tennessee Equality Project, Inclusion Tennessee, Out Memphis and The Tennessee Pride Chamber in partnership with the Looking Out Foundation, per information announced earlier this month. The lineup also included Maren Morris, Hayley Williams, Sheryl Crow, Amanda Shires, Jason Isbell and many others.
John announced that he and Lucie were expecting twins as he and TJ took the stage at the 56th Annual Country Music Association Awards in November 2022. He surprised the crowd when Brothers Osborne Tok the stage to accept the CMA Vocal Duo of the Year award.
Congrats, John and Lucie!
