He wrote on : "So last night might have been the craziest night of my life. Watching such an amazing woman do such an amazing thing is something I'll never forget. Thank you to our road family for rallying around us, Brittany Thornton for helping us bring this little dude into the world, Tupelo, Mississippi for showing us mad love and support, and most of all... Amber Gilbert, for letting me love you and showing me EXACTLY how incredibly strong a woman can be. I love you."

The Bottoms Up hitmaker made a quick call to his mother to inform her of the news, and then he ran back on stage to continue his performance.

In a video posted to his social media page, he told the crowd: "We got a baby!" The couple then jointly shared the news on their social media profiles, and captioned the post: "We've got a new addition to the Gilbert family ... God is good."

The family revealed the news that they would be expanding on Mother's Day last May, as the singer held up an ultrasound photograph. They captioned the post: "How's this for a Mother's Day?" In 2015, Brantley topped the Billboard country music charts with his album Just as I Am: Platinum Edition.

In his social media video, the hitmaker detailed exactly what happened, saying he’d been pulled aside for a “backstage emergency” shortly after kicking off his set. The hitmaker was seen running offstage and out of the venue at the time.

Later on, Brantley’s spokesperson confirmed he had run to his wife, who was in labour at the time. They are yet to reveal the name of their newborn son.

Brantley also revealed the conversation he had with his mother when telling her the news. She could be heard asking her rockstar son how he was, to which he replied: “Not as good as you are about to be. You got a new grandbaby.” She excitedly said back: “I got a new grandbaby? I do?”

Brantley added of his wife: “I know she is. She’s amazing. She’s absolutely amazing.”
