Country artist Randall King and his fiancée, fellow singer-songwriter Brittany Warthan, quietly welcomed Baby No. 1 earlier this month.
The new parents shared a few heartwarming photos by photographer Evan De Stefano on Instagram. King, 35, revealed his newborn daughter’s name is Paisley Leanna, which honors the singer’s late sister. He wrote in a heartfelt Instagram caption, signed by himself, Warthan, and the couple’s two dogs, Zemriah (Zemi) and Zad:
“What a joy it is to be a father! I’ve dreamt of being able to start a family for so long, and now here we are in this beautiful new chapter of life. I was built to be a daddy and Britt is already such a wonderful mom to little Paisley Leanna. It’s only fitting to give her my sister’s name on the 5th year of Leanna’s passing. She has the same big bright spirit, I can already tell. We also decided to up the game by adding a puppy, Zemi, to our little family! Now with our other rotten rottie, Zad, we have the best of both worlds with the 5 of us!”
“I look at our little family and think just a year ago I was praying for this … and now here we are,” Warthan wrote in an Instagram post of her own. “The last part of my pregnancy was pretty difficult, yet everyone is happy and healthy, so it was worth it, especially when we hold our little one in our arms.
“Paisley is a gift from God. She’s such a sweet little girl — dare we say the puppy Randall brought home is more work!” Warthan continued. “I sit here reflecting with gratitude to have a partner in life who goes above and beyond for us every day. Sending you all love and blessings from our family of five!”
The new parents confirmed their daughter’s April 3 arrival to Us Weekly. They shared the pregnancy news with the outlet earlier this year, and debuted an emotional duet called “Baby Steps” as a tribute to their growing family. Warthan shared a few updates during her pregnancy as she counted down the months to her daughter’s birth.
King and Warthan are two of the latest artists to welcome a child in 2025. Others include singer-songwriter Maggie Rose, Dan + Shay’s Shay Mooney, HARDY, and more. Lauren Alaina, Lady A’s Hillary Scott, Lady A’s Charles Kelley and other artists have also announced babies on the way. See the list of pregnancy announcements here.
