Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard welcomes first child

Florida Georgia Line vocalist Tyler Hubbard and his wife Hayley are new parents.

The couple on Saturday afternoon welcomed their first baby – daughter Olivia Rose Hubbard – in their native Nashville.

‘We’re so overwhelmed with joy and already more in love than we could have ever imagined with this little angel that God has given us,’ Tyler told People on Sunday. ‘Olivia is the best Christmas gift we could have ever asked for.’

The duo’s rep told the magazine the baby weighed seven pounds and 13 ounces, measuring at more than 19 inches long.

Tyler took to Instagram on Sunday to express his exhilaration about his newfound parenthood.

‘I had no idea I could love somebody as much as I love [Hayley] but last night God gave us Olivia Rose and melted our hearts,’ said the country vocalist, who tied the knot with Hayley, a 31-year-old blogger, in the summer of 2015. ‘We love this little girl more than words can describe and it hasn’t even been 24 hours yet.

‘Our life has been forever been changed for the better.’

Tyler admitted he had been a bit overeager with his camera amid the precious life milestone. He wrote: ‘I can’t wait to share more photos with y’all. I’ll try to contain myself from being the annoying parent that post 50 pics a day but I’ve already taken over 100 so forgive me.’

The happy pairrevealed their pregnancy this past June.

At one point, the couple had mistakenly believed they were expecting a son, but were going off the results of an erroneous blood test. By August, they realized they would be having a daughter. 

Hubbard wrote on Instagram, ‘So many emotions but really really excited about this next chapter even if God does like throwing us a curve ball every now and then.’
