HARDY and his wife Caleigh Ryan are expecting their first child next year.
HARDY shared a carousel of photos of the couple in a maternity photo shoot on Instagram, captioning the post: “You have been our favorite little secret to keep. Baby HARDY coming February 2025,” alongside a baby bottle emoji. The photos show Caleigh in a long, off-the-shoulder white dress that shows off her baby bump, while HARDY is dressed in jeans and a long-sleeve shirt.
On her Instagram Stories, Ryan also wrote, “Thank you all so much for all of the sweet words and love you’ve shared with us about our little one!! I am so relieved and excited to finally have the news out there!! We are going to be parents! This is so fun!”
After dating for a few years, HARDY and Caleigh got engaged in August 2021 when the singer-songwriter proposed at the Lyric Theatre in Oxford, Mississippi, the same venue where the couple first met. They wed in October 2022 in Nashville before heading off for a honeymoon in Thailand.

The couple first privately shared the news that they will soon be parents during an industry-only No. 1 party earlier this week in Nashville, celebrating Kenny Chesney’s song “Take Her Home,” which HARDY is a co-writer on, alongside Zach Abend and Hunter Phelps.
As an artist, HARDY has earned three No. 1 Country Airplay hits, including “Truck Bed,” “One Beer” (with Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson) and “Beers on Me” (with Dierks Bentley and Breland). He also recently teamed with Stephen Wilson Jr. for an acoustic version of Wilson’s song “Father’s Son.”
