Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and his wife Hayley, are expecting the second child, a baby boy, in the next month and Tyler is quite excited.

The couple has chosen the name Luca Reed for their son, and Tyler explains, “We liked the name Luca, thought it was kind of American but kind of cultured as well. And also it means ‘bringer of light’. So we kind of thought that was cool. And the middle name Reed is my middle name, so we just wanted to carry that over, thought it kinda had a little ring to it, Luca Reed.”

Hubbard loves the name but he confesses, “I can’t take a lot of credit. My wife’s the one that came up with all that, but I definitely agree and think it’s a cool name.”

Florida Georgia Line is currently out on the road with their families in tow on their "Can't Say I Ain't Country" tour. The guys are touring through September and then get back on the road in November.
