The country star, 35, andCoffee with Kaileypodcast host, 33, posted a two-part video to Instagram on Tuesday to share their special news.
“God gave me a…. BOY! So grateful we get to tell you Remington is going to be a big brother this fall!! 🎉🎉,” Kailey captioned the sweet footage in reference to the singer-songwriter’s “God Gave Me a Girl” song.
The clip began with Kailey smiling in the mirror while holding a pregnancy test. “Oh my gosh,” she said as their son Remington, 2½, repeatedly called for “dada” in the other room.
“Will you hold those?” Kailey asked Remington after showing viewers a “yes” on one of the sticks. “Let’s take those to Daddy.”
Filming the little boy as he adorably clutched the two tests, the camera showed Remington going down the stairs of the family’s outdoor deck to his dad, who was working on some house chores down below. “Nuh uh,” a shirtless Russell said in disbelief as he witnessed what his son was holding. “No way!” Russell added with a huge smile as his jaw dropped open, moving in to kiss and embrace his family.
As “God Gave Me a Girl” played over the celebration (with Russell shouting the word “boy” instead), he and Remington rocked out in long-haired blue wigs, shooting off blue streamers as the family cheered.

“It felt like drowning and trying to swim towards the sun to find the surface. I didn’t know if I’d ever share this, but something about going into this next year, I needed to leave this news in 2022,” she continued.
“The loss; however, is something that will always be written into our story. I know I’ll share more about it when I’m ready, but for now, and for the last several months, I’m holding these two extra close,” she shared.
Kailey talked more about the loss and why it’s important for people to treat one another with grace and kindness.
“It gives me hope, knowing we are more connected than we think,” she wrote. “And it gives me solace knowing nothing and no one’s life is perfect or without pain. May we all give each other some more grace this next year… more kindness because we don’t know what someone is truly going through… more love because we all need it.”
“And may Jesus be near to the broken-hearted. He sure has been for us 🤍,” she wrote at the end of her post.
