Country singer and songwriter Brett Young told People that he and his wife, Taylor Young, are going to be parents this year.

“We have always shared the same heart for wanting a family,” Young, 38, told People. “I love knowing that we get to give this little one an amazing life, and I just can’t wait for the future ahead of us as a family. We are so blessed.”

The baby is due early fall, Taylor Young wrote on Instagram.

“We could not be more excited,” she wrote. “Finding out we were expecting a little one was one of the happiest moments of my life. Feeling so blessed.”

The couple learned the good news in early February, according to People, when Taylor Young, “on a whim,” decided to take a pregnancy test.

“I was in shock when it read positive. I really just didn’t believe what I was seeing,” she told People. “After it sunk in, I was so happy and so overwhelmed that I just started crying—happy tears of course. Brett and I hugged, kissed and talked for hours about how long we had been wanting this and how excited we are to become parents.”

Both of the soon-to-be parents said they have confidence in each other’s parenting skills.

“There is absolutely no doubt that she will be the best mom on the planet,” Brett Young said.

“I think being a father will come so naturally to him,” Taylor Young said. “He’s kind, patient, and a good listener, but he’s also a goofball and isn’t afraid to have fun.”

She added that family is “so important” to both of them, and that despite his touring schedule, she doesn’t “have a single doubt” her husband will be will be a “very present” and “involved” father.

The couple were married on Nov. 3 at the Bighorn Golf Club in Palm Desert, California, after being together “on and off” for more than a decade. The two broke up for two years after Brett Young moved to Nashville to pursue songwriting.

“It was one of those things where we needed to be apart to grow up before we could come back together,” Brett Young told People about their two-year break.

Taylor Young said she would hear his songs and wonder if they were about their relationship and breakup, which she said some clearly were.

After the couple got back together, Brett Young said the two still shared feelings for each other, and that all the “bad stuff that was born out of immaturity was gone.”

Now they call each other their  “best friend.”

“Thank you for making me the luckiest boy in the world. You’re the most incredible human I’ve ever known. Your beauty inside and out never ceases to amaze me,” Brett Young wrote to Taylor Young on Instagram on Valentines Day. “There is no doubt in my mind that forever will not be near long enough for me to fully express to you how much I love you. You are my whole world.”

Both now have another love in their life.

“I love this little one so much already,” Taylor Young told People. “Being a mom is going to be the biggest accomplishment and best thing I’ve ever done.”

“Knowing how much I already love this baby” is the most exciting thing about becoming a dad, Brett Young added.
