Hillary Scott expands family, Cody Johnson shares how he found out wife was expecting | Music City Minute

A huge congratulations to Hillary Scott of Lady A and her husband, Chris Tyrrell, who welcomed their fourth baby July 25. The ecstatic couple shared the news via “People” magazine with a little help from their older daughters Eisele, Betsy and Emory. Mom and Dad chose the name, Selah, for the bundle of joy, explaining the name means “pause and reflect” and “God is gracious.”
In other baby news, Cody Johnson opened up about how his wife Brandi broke the news that she was pregnant. Johnson explained that one day after his wife returned from running errands, she asked him to help her unload the truck. “The Painter” singer was thoroughly confused when all he saw was a tiny box. Brandi said there was one more thing she needed him to grab and handed a positive pregnancy test. After Johnson’s initial shock wore off, Mom and Dad couldn’t wait to tell their older girls they have a baby brother who would be arriving in early fall.
