“Watching the delivery, I don’t even know what to say,” he said, adding, “Amber and I are just so thankful and blessed to have this beautiful little boy."
As the couple prepares to bring home baby No. 3, they are also approaching their ninth wedding anniversary.
While celebrating eight years together last June, the country star shared a wholesome Instagram post, writing, "It’s hard to believe I get to call this fire ass hot, rockstar mom my wife. We’ve been through, and been blessed with, so much in the last 8 years, and I can only imagine what God has in store for us and our family in the next 8… and after.”
"I love you, pretty girl,” he added. “Happy anniversary!"
In 2022, Gilbert revealed to PEOPLE that parenting is “one of the scariest things on the planet" to him. “You only get one chance to do it, right? You have to do it correctly,” he said at the time. “And I worry about it.”
The star also explained that he has a "bad habit of thinking that I know everything," but that being married and starting a family "showed me that I didn't have as much figured out as I thought."
"Especially when it comes to girls like my wife and daughter, I feel like those relationships are always evolving and changing," he said. "It's pretty tough for a dad sometimes."
