Niko Moon And Wife Anna Moon Welcome First Baby

Niko Moon and his songwriting collaborator wife Anna Moon have welcomed their first child, a daughter named Lily Anne Moon.

The Good Time singer shared the exciting news on social media. “Lily Anne Moon is here y’all! 💛 ” he wrote on November 16.

"Thank you so much for the love on Lily, y'all," Moon further shared in a video message on his Instagram Story. "It's been overwhelming. The amount of comments and texts that we've been getting, thank you so much everybody. We love y'all. We're so happy. She's healthy, Anna's healthy, life is beautiful. I love y'all, and I'll see y'all soon."

Anna added, "I can't even begin to describe the love I feel for this little baby!! From the moment I saw her my life has been completely changed. I can't believe I get to be this girl's mommy, y'all! Still feels surreal! Shout out to my entire delivery and recovery team for making this whole experience so special. I can't wait to share more of my experience!! For now, I'm in a DREAM!"

The couple, who married in 2015, announced in August that they were expecting their first child through in-vitro fertilization. They shared with PEOPLE that their IVF journey began in 2020 after Anna found out she had uterine fibroids at a routine gynaecological examination. A uterine fibroid is a non-cancerous tumour that grows in and around the womb (uterus), which may or may not cause any symptoms. Sometimes, complications can occur like infertility issues, blocking the fallopian tubes, difficulties during labour and the loss of pregnancy (in rare cases).

After finding out they were expecting, the couple penned a song about their baby on the way.

"I Can't Wait to Love You is our favourite song that we have ever written together. It's about this really special time in life where you have this amazing miracle on the way and you're falling in love with someone that you haven't even met yet," said Moon. "After finding out that Anna is pregnant, we spent hours talking about Lily and all the perfect details that will become her... we couldn't resist the opportunity to write a song about it all."
