Dan + Shay’s Shay Mooney And Wife Welcome Baby Boy

Dan + Shay's Shay Mooney and his wife Hannah welcomed a baby boy on January 17 in Nashville. Shay just posted a video of himself holding the new baby while gently stroking him and softly singing a song, "When I Pray for You."

Mooney posted the video clip on Instagram, captioning it, "Abram Shay Mooney 1/17/23 Grateful doesn't begin to cover it." He sang, "I wanna be the dad that my dad was / I hope that I don't mess this whole thing up / I pray you love like your momma / And you forgive just like she does / And when this life knocks you down / I hope you get down on your knees / Cause that's what I do, that's what I do / When I pray for you / Oh, and I pray for you."

Fans are over the moon with the new baby announcement, including one who wrote, "Welcome sweet boy! You are loved!" Another fan wrote, "Congratulations, I just became an aunt myself for the fourth time. I have three nieces and my new little nephew Hayden." One more fan commented, "Congratulations, Shay and Hannah!" with a heart emoji.

In August, Shay Mooney and his wife Hannah announced they were expecting their third child, and the couple revealed on Instagram that the new baby would be a boy.

At the time, the couple posted a video of them telling their son Asher who is five. Hannah asks him, "Do you remember when mommy told you they were going to call us this week and tell us if we're having a boy or girl? Do you think you're going to have a baby brother or a baby sister?

Asher says, "I wanted a baby sister, so it's a baby sister," Hannah then questions, "Okay, will you be sad if it's a boy?" Asher responds, "Yes, because I want a sister."

Hannah says, "Well, baby, it's gonna be another baby brother." "I wanted a sister," he responds.

She captioned the sweet clip on Instagram, "Mooney Baby #3! Thankful. Excited. Tired."

Dan + Shay is back after taking some time away to regroup. They are set to be the first duo to be coaches on NBC's The Voice when Season 25 of the show premieres in the Spring of 2024. The new season will also include Reba McEntire in a coach's chair.

They also recently announced their forthcoming fifth studio album, Bigger Houses, co-produced by Dan Smyers and set to release worldwide on September 15 via Warner Music Nashville.

Dan Smyers said of the duo's fifth album, "Some of our records have been more pop- or hip-hop/R&B-infused, but on this record, I wanted to make tracks that we could hop up at any bar anywhere with our live band and play the songs as they were recorded."

He added, "Ultimately, this music, this whole album, is something that I'll be able to look back on in a decade or two and be really proud of the way it turned out." This comes shortly after the revelation that the successful duo almost broke up. But it seems they are pretty happy lately: at a recent show, they both took their shirts off, showing off the results of their fitness routines.
