Maddie & Tae's Maddie Font and her husband Jonah are expecting their first baby, a boy, together this fall. The couple talked with People magazine about the news. Maddie told People, "We found out in early January that we were expecting. I surprised Jonah with a little card and the positive tests once he came home from work."
Maddie continued, "We are so excited to become parents! We've always wanted babies, so it is surreal that this chapter is beginning for us. We feel so grateful that God chose us to be this sweet little boy's parents!"
She added of Taylor Dye, who is mother to daughter Leighton Grace, "Oddly enough, my duo partner, Tae, had a feeling I was pregnant before I even knew!"
Font posted to the duo's Instagram, "Baby BOY Font coming this September! Jonah & I are over the moon and feel so blessed we get to be this little man's parents; thank you, @tristancusick, for capturing this special moment. Read the exciting news in @people!" See that post here.
The couple has been married since 2019 and have been together for over a decade.
The duo is currently on their "All Song No Static Tour." Their next stop is Thursday (4/6) in Portland, Maine.
As we reported when it happened last year, the duo's Tae Dye gave birth to her baby girl quite early as the baby, Leighton Grace Kerr, was born prematurely at 2 pounds and 5 ounces on January 17, 2022.
Tae's husband posted pictures of the baby on Instagram. He captioned the photos, "Leighton Grace Kerr, born January 17, 2022 //she's beautiful, strong, and everything we have ever dreamed of. She decided to be a Capricorn like her daddy. We already can't wait for the day we get to finally take her home."

Country music has had its fair share of country music duos, from the 1970s to today's country music. To honor Dan Smyers' 35th birthday today (8/16), we look at ten of the most popular country duos in country music history.
We are not counting solo artists like Tim McGraw and Faith Hill or Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty, who teamed together for a series of duets, but true blue country duos.
Dan + Shay

Brooks & Dunn
Rick Diamond/Getty ImagesPut together by their record label after years of both of them in solo careers, the pairing of Ronnie and Kix was genius and scored the guys' superstar status. In 2019, they became members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Sugarland

Montgomery Gentry

The Bellamy Brothers

Maddie & Tae

The Judds
Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesTragedy struck this legendary mother/daughter duo as Naomi Judd took her own life in April of 2022, just before they were to go on their final tour as The Judds and one day before they were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Wynonna is currently on The Judds' last tour without her mother but with support from several country stars, including Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood.
Brothers Osborne

They are currently touring and made a massive splash to a sold-out crowd of 60,000 at the 2022 CMA Fest in Nashville.
Big & Rich
Christopher Polk/Getty ImagesThis country duo started a movement dubbed the MuzikMafia (an abbreviation for Musically Artistic Friends in Alliance) in the early 2000s. Their hit "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" was huge for them, and the accompanying video quickly became CMT's most requested video for four weeks straight.
