Country singer Conner Smith and his wife, professional surfer Leah Thompson Smith, are officially entering a brand-new chapter of life together: They’re going to be parents.
The couple announced they are expecting their first child with a sweet Instagram post featuring sonogram photos, Leah’s growing baby bump, and adorable moments of Conner kissing her stomach. “Our greatest blessing is on the way,” the couple shared, instantly sending fans and fellow country stars flooding the comments with congratulations.
The news comes a little over a year after Conner and Leah tied the knot in April 2024.
Fans have followed their whirlwind romance since Conner proposed during a romantic picnic in September 2023. Their intimate chapel wedding quickly became a fan favorite online, with many praising the couple’s down-to-earth love story and obvious chemistry.
Now, they’re preparing for their biggest adventure yet.
According to Conner, Leah has fully embraced pregnancy life and is already obsessed with planning the nursery. He joked that his wife has become a Pinterest expert overnight and couldn’t be more excited about welcoming their baby. The singer also shared how emotional it has been telling family and friends the news and watching everyone celebrate this next step with them.
For fans, the announcement feels especially meaningful.
Over the past few years, Conner has become one of country music’s brightest young stars, earning praise for songs like Creek Will Rise and Take It Slow. But away from the stage, he’s often spoken about how much family means to him and how excited he was to build a life with Leah.
Now, that dream is becoming reality.
And judging by the joy in these photos, the couple couldn’t be more ready for what’s next.
