Country music star Jessie James Decker and her husband, Eric Decker, are celebrating the arrival of their fourth child, as announced by Jessie in a heartwarming Instagram post on Sunday.
In the post, Jessie shared a glimpse of their newborn nestled on her chest in a hospital bed, while Eric looks on adoringly. Another photo captures the little one resting on a soft blanket, clad in a cozy romper adorned with playful prints of helicopters and cars.
The Deckers are already proud parents to three children: sons Eric Thomas, 8, and Forrest Bradley, 5, as well as daughter Vivianne Rose, 9. Their anticipation for a new addition was revealed last August when Jessie joyfully flaunted her baby bump on Instagram, set to the tune of “Always Be My Baby.” Later confirming they were expecting a boy.
Speaking to People magazine, Jessie shared the excitement within their family as the kids eagerly assist in preparing the nursery. Forrest, at 5 years old, has been especially charming, expressing his affection through love letters to his upcoming sibling, while Eric, the eldest, has taken on a protective role.
Reflecting on her surprise fourth pregnancy in August 2023, Jessie humorously admitted on Instagram that it wasn’t planned, despite her nudges for Eric to consider a vasectomy. She recounted suggesting the procedure to her husband, a 36-year-old former NFL player, believing they had completed their family. However, Eric’s reluctance, citing concerns over losing “his manhood,” left the decision pending.
Jessie has been candid about this aspect of their journey, sharing in an interview with US Weekly in January 2023 Eric’s reservations about the procedure. Despite their playful banter on the matter, the Deckers are undoubtedly overjoyed by the arrival of their newest bundle of joy.
