Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and his wife, Hayley, will welcome their third child into the world later this year. The baby, a boy, will become a brother to two-year-old Olivia and Luca, who will turn one in August. It’s a lot for the parents, but Tyler says they are as ready as they can be.
“In a weird way, I think we’re looking forward to the challenge,” Tyler told People. “The whole experience of having a child is like none other. It’s a rush of emotion and love that can hardly be explained. We’re looking forward to experiencing that again and then just knowing we’re going to be finished. This is our family, and let’s grow together.”
Tyler and his Florida Georgia Line partner Brian Kelley, have had an unprecedented amount of time at home, due to the coronavirus pandemic. The duo was supposed touring with Kenny Chesney, on his Chillaxification Tour, but instead is off the road, which means Tyler gets plenty of time with his wife and children.
“We do have more challenging days,” Tyler acknowledged. “They definitely keep us busy and are nonstop entertainment for us. At times we would enjoy a little bit of alone time, but for the most part we are having a lot of fun. It’s an experience that we would have never had — being at home with the family this long — so we’re really just trying to make the most of it.”
The Hubbards weren’t planning on having three children so close together in age, but Tyler is still grateful for the surprise addition.
“It’s definitely such a blessing and it’s such hard work as well, I’m not gonna lie,” Tyler previously stated. “But it’s so much fun, and to see Luca, where he’s at, and to know that in six more months, or whatever it is, we’re gonna have another little dude here, it’s just fun to think about. It’s fun to think about what the future is gonna be like.
“But right now, they keep us on our toes,” he continued. “So, we just feel extra blessed and extra thankful and we definitely have something to keep us busy during this off time. But it’s so rewarding and so fun at the same time.”
Florida Georgia Line just dropped a new EP, 6-Pack. The record, which includes their current single, “I Love My Country,” is available for purchase at Amazon
