Lauren Alaina shared stunning maternity photos on Instagram as she awaits her baby’s arrival.
Alaina said she’s “never felt more beautiful or proud of my body than I have carrying my little girl around for the last 9 months,” the country star wrote in her caption on Instagram on Monday evening (May 19). Alaina tagged photographer Rachel Oxford of Brasspenny Photography, and said it was “the maternity shoot of my dreams.” She added that she “can’t believe my due date is ten days away. I will miss these days, but I can’t wait for the days that are to come.”
The former American Idol contestant included a surprise pregnancy announcement in the full circle “Those Kind Of Women” music video earlier this year. Alaina dedicated the storytelling visual to her mother and to Baby No. 1, arriving in 2025. She quickly followed the pregnancy announcement with a gender reveal to share that her baby is a girl. Baby No. 1 will arrive just a few months after Alaina and her husband, Cam Arnold, celebrated their first wedding anniversary. The couple said “I do” in a stunning ceremony in February 2024 at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
Alaina is one of several country artists to announce a baby on the way this year. Others welcoming a baby into the family soon include Sam Hunt, Jordan Davis, Lady A’s Hillary Scott, Lady A’s Charles Kelley and more. See the list of pregnancy announcements here.
