‘American Idol’ star Scotty McCreery and wife, Gabi, have big baby news. What we know

“American Idol” winner and North Carolina native Scotty McCreery’s family is expanding.

McCreery and his wife, Gabi, are expecting a new addition to their family in November. The couple are having a baby boy, as first reported by People magazine Tuesday morning.

They took to Instagram to announce the exciting news with photos of the ultrasound and their yellow lab dog, Moose, a puppy they adopted two years ago.

McCreery, 28, is a native of Garner and the 2011 winner of “American Idol.” He and his wife married in 2018 at the Twickenham House & Hall in Jefferson. The couple now lives in Raleigh.

Gabi McCreery has a background in pediatric nursing, according to People. The couple told the magazine they always planned to have children.

They were surprised they were having a boy, McCreery told People. McCreery, who attended N.C. State University, is the only boy on both sides of his family.

McCreery’s latest single “Damn Strait” climbed the charts to No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Country Airplay and No. 6 on the Hot Country Songs. He has released five studio albums with his latest, “Same Truck,” released in 2021.

Two of the album’s songs are inspired by Gabi, “Why You Gotta Be Like That,” and “You Time,” The News & Observer previously reported.
