Country music sensation Cody Johnson shared joyful news during the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards: he and his wife Brandi are expecting their third child. The 37-year-old singer made the announcement during the awards ceremony, using the special occasion for both a pregnancy and gender reveal.

“We’re having a little boy,” Johnson confirmed in an exclusive interview with People. While he didn’t reveal the due date, the couple is clearly overjoyed about the newest addition to their family.

Johnson, already a proud father to daughters Clara Mae, 10, and Cori, 8, expressed excitement about how his girls would embrace their new roles. “You can’t beat my girls — I love them with all my heart,” he said. “I’m excited to see them help raise this little boy.”

Reflecting on his journey, the musician observed that he’s in a better place now, both financially and in his career, than he was when his first two children were born. “He’s gonna get a horse a little quicker than my kids did,” Johnson joked, hinting that the new baby might reach milestones a bit earlier.

Longtime Love Story

According to People, Cody and Brandi Johnson have been married for over a decade, having met as teenagers. Their family began with the birth of Clara in 2015, followed by Cori in 2017. The couple has kept much of their life out of the spotlight, Johnson has often spoken about parenthood and his commitment to helping his children pursue their dreams.

Johnson, who was nominated for Entertainer of the Year at the 60th ACM Awards, called winning a potential career milestone. “It would be a culmination of my whole career’s hard work — and not only mine, but everyone who’s been on the ride,” he said.

Hosted by Reba McEntire, the ACM Awards were televised live from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, on Prime Video.
