It’s a … boy! 

Country music power couple Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd announced Tuesday via social media that they’re expecting a child. 

Morris, a 29-year-old Grammy Award winner known for “I Could Use A Love Song,” “My Church” and 2019 hit “Girl,” posted that “the irony is just too rich that after a year of living in the ‘GIRL’ headspace, the universe would give us a baby boy to even things out.” 

“See you in 2020, little one,” she added. 

The songwriting couple began dating in 2015 and married in March 2018; this will be their first child.
