Sam Hunt is a father of three!
The singer, 40, and wife Hannah Lee Fowler welcomed their third child, son Weyman Allen Hunt, on May 21, according to a Facebook post by the Cedartown First Methodist Church. At the time of his birth, the baby weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces.
Hunt and Fowler tied the knot in April 2017, and also share daughter Lucy Louise, 3, and son Lowry Lee, 21 months.
“They’re good,” Hunt told Taste of Country in an interview published on Monday, July 7. “A little sleep-deprived. Our most recent child got here in May, so he’s finally starting to sleep a little better.”

He added, “We got spoiled with the first two — they were fairly easy — but Weyman, my third one, Weyman’s his name, he likes to beat to his own drum, I guess you could say.”
Hunt confirmed Fowler’s pregnancy in November 2024, telling the “Katie & Company” podcast, “It’s about to get real. I’m elated. I can’t wait.”
At that point, Lucy and Lowry had been marginally aware that they would soon have a new sibling.
“[Lucy] sort of [understands.] We talk about it,” Hunt previously remarked. “I say, ‘Mama has a baby on the way,’ and we’ll point to her belly and she says, ‘No. I have a baby on the way.’ So, not quite.”

In July 2023, Hunt said that fatherhood had forced him to mature as an adult.
“There were years there where, you know, maybe I didn’t realize how much growing up I had needed to do,” he told ET Canada at the time. “And having a child forces you to do that. It shifts something in your nervous system. There’s a skin that I needed to shed, and I did that when I had my child.”
He characterized the experience of first-time parenthood as waking him up “out of this, I wouldn’t say I was sleepwalking, but I had definitely gotten into a routine after years of doing the same thing over and over. … I was just at a place in my life where I really needed that, and I’m grateful for it and I feel like I leveled up in a lot of ways.”
He added that he had “a long way to go in general now, but I feel up for the challenge,” especially when his children act “like a mirror in some ways” for him to review his own behavior.

“All this self-awareness comes over me and I want to make sure I’m carrying myself in a way that is responsible. … I have so much more perspective on myself,” he said. “What I’m saying, how I’m saying it, how I’m carrying myself, and that’s powerful to see yourself through your child’s eyes.”
