Hailey Whitters and husband Jake Gear welcomed their first child, son Rye Whitters Gear, on December 4. The couple shared the joyful news on Instagram on Tuesday (Dec. 9) alongside adorable photos of them with their new baby. “And just like that everything is different,” Whitters wrote in the caption. “We don’t know what we ever did without you here. We can’t wait to see who you become. Welcome to the world, our sweet son.” The 36-year-old country star – who won New Female Artist of the Year at the 2023 ACM Awards – announced her pregnancy back in August, calling their baby “our greatest production yet.” Whitters and Gear were married in October 2022 in a quaint country church in her hometown of Shueyville, Iowa, after being together for over a decade.
