Hannah Ellis is pregnant with Baby No. 1!
The “‘90s Country” artist announced on Monday morning (June 23) that she and her husband, fellow singer-songwriter Nick Wayne, have “been keeping a secret.” Ellis shared a compilation of some of the sweet moments throughout her pregnancy so far, including her reaction when she saw the result of the pregnancy test, the moment she surprised Wayne on his birthday, and more. She also posted stunning maternity photos by photographer Hudson Bloom, debuting her growing baby bump and sharing sonogram images in Aspen, Colorado.
“Baby Richardson coming this November! 🤍,” Ellis wrote in her caption on Instagram.
Ellis and Wayne got married in a “romantic and whimsical wedding ceremony and reception” at The Estate at Cherokee Dock in May 2021 in Nashville, Tennessee. According to information shared by the venue, the two artists began dating seven and a half years before tying the knot. They lived across the hall from one another in their apartment building in downtown Nashville, and bonded over music. They got engaged in June 2020. Earlier this year, Ellis and Wayne released “Waiting to Die,” the first original duet they’ve ever recorded. The duet, inspired by Wayne’s grandparents, serves as a tribute to lifelong love.
Ellis and Wayne are some of the latest artists to announce a baby on the way in 2025. Others expecting a baby this year include Lady A’s Hillary Scott, Lady A’s Charles Kelley, Cole Swindell and more. See the growing list of pregnancy announcements here.
