Country singer Jessie James Decker has given birth to her fourth child with husband Eric Decker. Page Six reported that Jessie had revealed her new baby boy on Instagram on Sunday, and shared his name with her followers.
Along with a photo of the infant, Jessie wrote in the caption, “Our beautiful boy is here,” followed by a love heart emoji.

According to the Daily Mail, the baby’s name appears to be a nod to Eric’s former profession. During his football career, Eric played for the Denver Broncos for three years. In fact, he and Jessie got married while he was still on the Broncos’ roster.
Jessie had first announced her pregnancy with a video on social media. The clip showed off the singer’s baby bump while the tune to Mariah Carey’s Always Be My Baby played in the background. A few months later, she confirmed she was having a baby boy during an interview on Today.
She mentioned the news while talking about another Instagram post she shared in which she was seen holding up baby clothes in front of a Christmas tree. The photo showed Jessie between her sister and sister in law as they held up their own baby sons in identical clothing. In the caption of the post, Jessie wrote, “These three little turkeys gonna be BFFs.”
Despite the heavy hinting, Jessie only revealed the news officially on Today. She said “Yup, we’re having another boy. Vivi remains queen,” referring to her daughter.
Baby Number 4 Was a Surprise
Jessie revealed more about how she and Eric reacted themselves to the news of her pregnancy on her Instagram Stories. She said that she was “very, very surprised” to find out she was expecting.
Jessie also revealed that her friends and family members were also surprised, including Eric. She said, “Eric didn’t believe me at first. He thought I was playing a joke on him.”

She continued by saying that Eric had believed that Jessie had gotten her sister, who was also pregnant at the time, to take a pregnancy test for her to fool Eric. Jessie described the confusion as “hilarious”, and added, “Once everyone realized, ‘This is not a joke,’ everyone was super excited. And we still are.”
In October last year, Jessie revealed just how much they had planned ahead after finding out they were having another son. She told People magazine, “We chose the name as soon as we knew the gender. We’ve always been kind of prepared.”
