The new addition will join the couple’s sons Christiaan, 2, Ezra Stephen, 5, Elijah Craig, 10, and William Clayton, 14, and daughter Mary-Elizabeth, 13.

‘The shock of it being another boy, for Mary, it lasted a couple of hours. There were some tears shed, I won’t lie,’ Walker told People at the time.
‘It was because of expectation, but that was overcome with the thought that we’re not in control of that.’
‘We don’t decide if it’s a boy or girl, and she was able to understand that after a while,’ he added.
And while the couple didn’t reveal when their baby was due, Walker may have to do some juggling with his calendar.
The Chain of Love singer kicked off his Country Side Tour in February and will be on the road through July.
The If I Could Make a Living singer is hitting stops in Texas, Missouri and Kansas through June.
The chart topper then heads out on a swing across the west coast with stops in Nevada, California and Oregon in July.
From mid-July through early October the soon to be father of eight hits stops in Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Idaho, Pennsylvania, New York and Indiana.
It’s a girl! ‘We are beyond excited about having a little girl!’ Walker wrote in a press release. ‘Her brothers and sisters are awaiting her arrival. God is great!
