Who Is Gabby Barrett’s Husband and How Many Kids Do They Have?
Pop culture fans of all ages love to follow celebrity relationships, but those who appreciate country music have a particular appreciation for country couples. From Tim McGraw and Faith Hill to Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, the best country music couples are authentic, open, and real, which makes fans love them that much more. In recent years, young artist Gabby Barrett has been earning acclaim, with many comparing her soaring vocals to Carrie Underwood. It isn’t just Barrett’s voice that appeals to fans, however. Many are invested in her sweet love story with her husband, fellow American Idol contestant Cade Foehner.
When did Gabby Barrett and her husband get married?
Barrett was first thrust into the spotlight on Season 16 of American Idol. Her charismatic stage presence and top-notch voice made her a fan favorite, and although she didn’t win her season of the hit reality show, viewers loved her all the same. Barrett’s recording career has taken off since her days on American Idol, releasing hit songs like “I Hope” and “The Good Ones.”
Not only did Barrett launch a singing career thanks to American Idol, but she found true love in the wings as well. According to Taste of Country, Barrett met Foehner on the set of the show when she competed in 2018.
American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest claimed he could see sparks between Barrett and Foehner from the beginning, stating “From the first day you guys met eyes, I felt like it was love at first sight.” Barrett and Foehner kept their romance relatively private, however. In October 2019, a little over a year after they started dating, the two tied the knot in Foehner’s home state of Texas.
How many kids does Gabby Barrett have?
It didn’t take long before Barrett and Foehner decided to expand their family. In January 2021, Barrett and Foehner welcomed their first child, a daughter named Baylah May. In an Instagram post celebrating her birth, according to Billboard, Barrett wrote “Gotten to spend a very sweet week with our newest addition…meet our girl.” The post featured the baby’s name superimposed over the image of the newborn.
Although Barrett has been open about her affinity for being a mom, she has fiercely defended her young daughter’s privacy, keeping the infant’s face hidden in all social media posts and shared photos. According to PopCulture, Barrett has stood by her decision, noting that she and her husband are “protecting her from weird predators.” She has also called on fans to “please respect how we’ve decided to protect our child.” It seems as though Barrett and Foehner are determined to keep baby Baylah out of the spotlight, in spite of the high-profile lives that they lead.
What’s next for Gabby Barrett?
Even though she has a busy schedule at home, Barrett has not been neglecting her musical career. Currently, Barrett is hard at work promoting her new single “Pick Me Up,” and has several performance dates on the schedule, according to her official website. The artist is also set to assist with hosting duties at one of the biggest country music awards shows of the year—the Academy of Country Music Awards, which will take place on March 7, 2022.
Certainly, Barrett is poised to become one of the hottest stars in the country music scene. A hardworking mom and dedicated singer, Barrett is proof positive that it is possible to have it all, all while maintaining a happy marriage and home life.
