Jake Owen revealed that he and girlfriend Erica Hartlein are expecting a baby in spring/summer 2019.

Jake and Erica shared the news during the ABC TV special, I’m Coming Home, on Nov. 22, as the couple visited Jake’s family in his hometown of Vero Beach, Fla.

“This will throw you guys for a loop,” said Jake, as he relaxed by the pool with his twin brother and parents. “[We] haven’t told anyone, but Erica and I will be having a little addition to our Owen family.”

“Now I’m gonna turn really red,” added Erica.

Jake has a six-year-old daughter, Pearl, with ex-wife Lacey Buchanan. The former couple split in 2015.

Congrats to Jake and Erica.
