Summer Pardi opened up about the moment she unexpectedly learned she was pregnant with Baby No. 1.
Summer and her husband, country star Jon Pardi, welcomed their firstborn daughter, Presley Fawn Pardi, in February 2023. Less than one year later, they announced Summer was pregnant with Baby No. 2, daughter Sienna Grace Pardi, who arrived in July. Summer met with host Caroline Hobby on a recent episode of Get Real with Caroline Hobby. During the podcast, and shared that she learned she was pregnant after deciding she was content without starting a family.
Summer and Jon went to a pool party hosted by Kane Brown and his wife, Katelyn Brown. The Browns are parents to daughters Kingsley Rose, who turns 5 next month, and Kodi Jane, who turns 3 in late December. They welcomed Baby No. 3, son Krewe Allen, in June. RaeLynn, who was also at the pool party, welcomed her daughter, Daisy Rae, in September 2021.
“I remember one day, we were at Katelyn and Kane’s pool, and RaeLynn and Katelyn had their babies, because their girls were, like, a few months apart,” Summer said on the podcast with Hobby. “And my girlfriend Beck was with me, and we were — we went there for a pool day. …Beck and I are sitting by the pool having margaritas, and Jon and Kane are in the pool drinking margaritas, and Katelyn and Rae are over here under a tent with these newborns, and we never even spoke to the girls because they were — and I remember vividly saying to Beck, like, ‘yeah, this isn’t for me. Like, what we’re doing right now is fantastic. That life [with kids] is not for me.’ And then fast forward, probably, I think that was like two weeks later I found out I was pregnant.” She added later: “I don’t know if we’re gonna have another one [baby],” at this time.
Throughout the conversation, Summer also spoke about how her husband’s mother “played matchmaker,” opened up about what life is like on tour, her decision — and Jon’s — to “retire from alcohol” after becoming a mom, and more. Find Get Real with Caroline Hobby here.
