Maddie Marlow Font Welcomes Baby No. 2 With Jonah

Maddie Marlow Font Announces Second Pregnancy

Maddie Marlow Font is entering an exciting new phase in her life. On Wednesday, September 16, she shared the joyful news that she and her husband, Jonah Font, are expecting their second child, a baby girl. This announcement means their 3-year-old son, Forrest, will soon become a big brother.

A New Journey as a Solo Artist

This pregnancy comes on the heels of Font’s decision to step away from the acclaimed country duo, Maddie & Tae, to focus on her solo music career. She is currently gearing up to release her debut solo album while preparing to welcome another child into their family.

Balancing Motherhood and Music

In an interview with PEOPLE, Font expressed her excitement, saying, “I’m going to be popping out a baby and popping out my first solo record. I guess I’m just trying to do all the things.”

Overcoming Past Challenges

The announcement comes after a challenging period for Font, who experienced an early miscarriage in March. Reflecting on this experience, she shared, “It just really made me trust God’s timing and His ways and what He had in store for us.”

Emotional Growth and New Beginnings

Font acknowledged the difficulty of coping with the loss, stating, “It took me a while to snap out of that sadness.” Nevertheless, she gave herself time to grieve, while also pushing forward in her music career. Her faith and love for music became her guiding lights during this tough chapter.

Gender Reveal Celebration

In May, the couple found out they were expecting a girl. Font humorously recounted the moment they revealed the baby’s gender with a cake, noting her husband’s shocked reaction: “He was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m going to have a daughter,’ which is so exciting, but just, like, different.”

Support from Friends and Family

One of the first people Font shared her pregnancy news with was her close friend and former bandmate, Tae Dye Kerr. The two were together during a playdate when Font learned she was expecting, and Kerr seemed to sense the news before it was spoken. “It’s that soul sister connection, I guess,” Font reflected.

Juggling Career and Motherhood

Despite battling morning sickness, Font has also launched her debut solo single, “Drive Me Around,” and filmed its music video while managing her pregnancy. She credits her strong support system, including her husband and Kerr, for helping her navigate this busy period.

Encouraging Other Female Artists

Now that she can openly share this new chapter, Font hopes her journey will inspire other women in the music industry. She said, “I feel like in this business, especially with women, there’s this misconception that you can’t have a family and do this.” Font encourages aspiring female artists to pursue their dreams of both motherhood and a successful career.
