Country star Lauren Alaina is sharing a sneak peek at her growing baby bump.
On Tuesday, January 28, Alaina shared a “get ready with me throwback” with her fans. “Get ready with me and help me pray about hiding my 20 week pregnancy,” Alaina said to the camera.
The video was filmed two weeks before she shared the news of her pregnancy with the public.
Alaina confirmed the news of her pregnancy in an interview with People after hinting about it in her newest music video, Those Kind of Women.
“Those Kind of Women is all about the women who made me who I am and raised me and when I recorded this song, I was not pregnant,” she explained. “I was not planning on getting pregnant, that was a nice little surprise.”
This is Alaina and her husband Cam Arnold’s first child. The pair have been married since February 2024.
Alaina said there were a lot of other songs she recorded that she “thought they would release first.” But after learning she was pregnant, Alaina called it “a little God nod” to release Those Kind of Women first “to celebrate the pregnancy.”
The singer said she’s always been very close with her mom, calling her “a wonderful mother,” but said sharing this “season of life” with her “has made us even closer.”
“It’s been very stressful hiding it,” Alaina said of being five months pregnant at the time. “But it’s been so fun because it’s like our own little family secret. I live a life where everything’s in the public eye, but this little baby’s my best kept secret to date.”
Alaina then opened up about how hard of a year 2024 was for her and her family after “losing my dad in July.”
She continued, “We weren’t even trying to get pregnant. I truly believe my dad got up there in heaven and said, ‘Somehow we got to get a baby involved.’”
“My baby is still such a light in my life, a light in the midst of sadness and what felt like a lot of darkness,” Alaina explained. “So very much looking forward to Baby Arnold getting here.”
In a separate video, Alaina also revealed the sex of her unborn baby.
Enlisting the help of their fur babies, Alaina and Arnold revealed they are expecting a baby girl.
“Your dad sent you a built in best friend,” a commenter wrote.
