Gabby Barrett, Tom Wolfe and Mickey Guyton are among the country stars who’ve welcomed new family members in 2021. Thomas Rhett, Travis Collins, and others are still expecting. Christie Lamb and Jake Hoot got married, while Kylie Morgan and Brooke Eden got engaged.

This is what’s happening in the country music community, all in 2021.
