We now know if Lady A‘s Charles Kelley and his wife Cassie are welcoming a son or a daughter. In a video posted on social media, the couple reveal if their nine-year-old son Ward is gaining a brother or a sister.
In the video, Cassie is the one who first found out the gender, surprising her husband, who then told Ward.
“It’s a boy!” Kelley exclaims.

Kelley and Cassie announced last month they were expecting their second child.
“Biggest surprise of our lives!” Kelley captions the photos, showing Cassie’s pregnancy. “Baby Kelley coming early fall 2025. Big brother is the MOST excited.”
When Cassie became pregnant with Ward, she was told by doctors she had a one percent chance of becoming pregnant, making this new arrival even more special, especially since Cassie is now 42.
“It’s all been an interesting thing to wrap my head around,” Kelley tells American Songwriter. “But we’re just trying to enjoy the moment of it all. Obviously, with a little bit of an older pregnancy, you worry, and we’re still keeping an eye on it all. But everything seems really good so far. Everything seems healthy.”

Kelley also has a new solo album coming out later this year. The Georgia native just announced the release of Songs For A New Moon, out this summer. The record includes two tracks Kelley has already released, both “Can’t Lose You” and “Here With Me.”
“A New Moon is the beginning of a new chapter, a new cycle, and that’s what this is to me,” Kelley explains. “I feel like we need a little feel-good music in the world – I need some feel-good music. And I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited, because everything feels so different. This is me having fun with no fear.”
“Can’t Lose You,’ which Kelley wrote with Josh Kear and Michael Whitworth, is about his sobriety journey, and how Cassie inspired him to get sober.
The couple was vacationing in Greece when Kelley turned his phone off one night and went out for a night of drinking. It was the turning point he needed in their relaitonship.
“The next morning, I said, ‘You need help. You have to deal with this,’” Cassie recalls on CBS This Morning. “And he said he knew, and he made a plan with his manager, and he flew directly from Greece to treatment. But at that point, I thought I was fully flying back to the US, and I was going to meet with a divorce attorney. That was it.”
The Lady A family is growing even more. Hillary Scott also recently announced she was pregnant, expecting her fourth child this year as well.
