Hailey, 36, posted a\u00a0slideshow of photos, including one of her holding the newborn\u2019s hand, while he donned a salmon-colored onesie.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cRYE WHITTERS GEAR and just like that everything is different,\u201d the singer wrote in her caption.<\/p>\n

\u201cBorn Dec 4th on a cold moon supermoon with a true knot, we have no doubt Uncle D held you close in his heavenly arms before handing you off to us on the mortal side.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Hailey continued, \u201cThe cliche really is true \u2013 we don\u2019t know what we ever did without you here. We can\u2019t wait to see who you become.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThank you to all our friends and family who\u2019ve checked in on us these last few weeks\u2026 the boy is already so well-loved. Welcome to the world, our sweet son.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comments section flooded with congratulatory messages for the new parents, including from fellow\u00a0country star\u00a0Travis Denning, who wrote, \u201cCongratulations yall!! So happy for you both.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hailey revealed in August that she and her publishing executive husband were\u00a0expecting their first baby.<\/p>\n

She posted photos of herself cradling her growing baby bump in a loose-fitting, long-sleeved yellow mini dress while sharing a kiss with Jake in a cornfield.<\/p>\n

The setting was fitting, considering the Everything She Ain\u2019t singer was preparing to kick off her Corn Queen Tour in September.<\/p>\n

The month-long tour began in Nashville, Tennessee, and wrapped in Chicago on October 11.<\/p>\n

The cornfield also held significance to the lovebirds, who used it as the backdrop in their wedding photos when they exchanged vows in October 2022.<\/p>\n

Jake also popped the question in an Iowa cornfield in 2020.<\/p>\n
