    Hardy and his wife Caleigh Ryan have welcomed their first child into the world

    The 34-year-old country musician's other half gave birth to a little girl named Rosie on March 7, with the newborn weighing just over 9 lbs


    The couple confirmed the new arrival on Sunday (09.03.25) by posting a series of professional photographs of the little one wrapped in a pink bow and with her name revealed on an embroidered bonnet.

    In one of the pictures, Hardy - whose real name is Michael Wilson Hardy - can be seen squeezing baby Rose's cheeks, and in another, Caleigh is nose-to-nose with her little girl.

    The Instagram carousel is captioned: "Rosie Ryan Hardy [white heart emoji]. Born March 7, 2025. 9 pounds 2 ounces."

    The tot is seemingly named after Caleigh's late great-aunt Rosie, as when the couple got married in 2022, she wore her aquamarine ring as her "something blue".

    Rose's due date was in February.

    The couple shared when they announced the pregnancy back in October: "You have been our favorite little secret to keep [baby bottle and praying hands emoji] Baby Hardy coming February 2025 (sic)"

    Caleigh also penned to her Instagram Story at the time: "Thank you all so much for all of the sweet words and love you've shared with us about our little one!!

    "I am so relieved and excited to finally have the news out there!! We are going to be parents! This is so fun!"

    The pair got hitched in October 2022 at Nashville's Diamond Creek Farms in front of friends and family as well as musicians including Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert, Morgan Wallen, Lauren Alaina, RaeLynn, Ernest, Lindsay Ell and Travis Denning.

    The ceremony was conducted by Hardy's close friend Smith Ahnquist.

    In an interview given to PEOPLE magazine at the time of their Nashville nuptials, the couple revealed they want to have "like four kids".
