Blair and Schmidt dated for five years before tying the knot in Nashville in 2022. Blair said they had discussed having a baby fairly quickly, but they didn’t expect to conceive immediately, according to People.
Things aren’t going according to plan, but Blair is excitedly going with the flow.
“I was originally hoping to get pregnant right now actually, in May 2023, on our honeymoon in Italy — which has now been postponed for two wonderful reasons: the pregnancy and because Mom and Dad are nominated for ACM song of the year for co-writing HARDY’s Wait in the Truck,” she said.
The country music star has a lot happening in her life, and it all seems to be happening at the same time.

“I’m excited to be nominated for my first ACM alongside my husband, and also showing our son one day that we were thriving and living at an all-time high while he was growing in my belly!” she said. (RELATED: Robert De Niro Is A Dad Again At Age 79)
Her husband has the same connection to this very special time in their lives.
“I’m so excited to share this moment with my wife and our unborn child, and I can’t wait for the day we show him pictures of how he was at the 58th ACMs!” Schmidt said to People.
