Country music stars Devin Dawson and Leah Sykes welcome baby girl

Country music stars Devin Dawson and Leah Sykes have announced the arrival of their first child together, a baby girl named Iris Evelaine Durrett.

The couple shared the joyous news via a heartfelt joint Instagram post, accompanied by photos of the new parents holding their newborn in the hospital. 

Iris Evelaine was born on the 4th of July at 9:13pm, coinciding with the fireworks illuminating the Nashville sky. She weighed 8lbs and measured 20 inches long.

"Momma and baby are both doing well and to say I’m so proud of both is an understatement," Dawson and Sykes expressed in the caption. "We are tired and happy and finding a rhythm and just so in awe."

They extended gratitude to their family and friends for the overwhelming support they've received, mentioning their decision to take a break from music for a few weeks to fully embrace this precious time together.

"We are soaking up every bit of this as much as I possibly can," they added. "So much love all around. 💜🎀"

Dawson, 34, and Sykes, 26, initially shared their pregnancy news back in January, revealing their excitement about expecting a baby girl in July. The couple, who tied the knot in 2019 in Franklin, Tennessee, had eagerly anticipated this new chapter in their lives.
