Jordan Davis and Wife Welcome Baby Boy

Jordan Davis and his wife Kristen have welcomed their third child, a baby boy named Elijah Patrick. Jordan posted a black and white photo holding the baby's hand on Instagram.

Davis captioned the photo, "God is good! My son Elijah Patrick is in the world…His momma did incredible in getting him here, and we hope to get him home to his brother and sister soon."

Many fans responded to the post, including one fan who wrote, Been waiting for this announcement! Congrats, Davis family!" Another fan said, "Congrats to your beautiful addition to your family." One more fan commented, "On the same day, your music video dropped! Amazing."

Jordan played Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest over the weekend (6/8) for the first time in his career. Backstage before he performed for 60,000 plus fans, Jordan shared his path to country music stardom.

Davis told us, "Long story short, I moved to town to write songs. I had never played with a band; I'd never played a show. I was trying to get a publishing deal and trying to get other artists to cut my songs. I truly started playing music and trying to go after being an artist because I didn't know if that was going to happen."

He added, "I figured I was already this far down the road, so I might as well start trying to make some money gigging around, and here we are. I kind of fell backward into it, but I'm very grateful I did. I truly never, never dreamed that I would be playing on the stage that I'm getting to play on tonight."

Jordan Davis is a first-time Male Artist of the Year nominee at tonight's (5/11) ACM Awards, which will air live on Amazon Prime at 7 pm ET and will be hosted by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks.

Jordan told us recently about getting a ACM nomination in the Male Artist category. Hearing his name read as ACM nominations came out, he said, "I'll be honest with you, I haven't been that shocked in a long time. Definitely the most shocked I've been since I started doing music."

Davis added, "I knew I made it through to the last round, but you all see the other nominees in there, some heavy hitters. It was pure shock. In 2019, I was up for New Artist, so I think it goes to show that I've got a great team and great fans, and we made some great music that is connecting with people. The awards are amazing, but to be nominated with those guys is a huge win for me."

Jordan admitted that he has had a little more pep in his step since the nomination. He said, "I think you always want to make sure that you're doing something that's special. I've always been confident in my music, but it feels good to see that it's connecting. I think that's the main thing. We all do this because we love it, and it is a lot easier to do something you love when you see that people are reacting to it."

As Davis crosses his fingers to hear his name read when the winner of the Male Artist Award is announced, we look at him over the past few years. He's come a long way.
