During his performance at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the "Take Your Time" singer paused to tell fans about the bouncing baby girl he welcomed alongside his wife.

In addition to surprising the audience with the unexpected bombshell, the bearded heartthrob also shared his daughter's name and the profound impact the little one has on his life.

Although it was unclear when the four-time Grammy nominee and Fowler had the baby, the Billboard chart-topper noted that his precious "Lucy Lu" began changing things "a couple of weeks ago."

According to the former quarterback for the University of Alabama, fame had hardened the musician's heart as he could not be compared to the man he used to be while living in the small town of Georgia.

However, the CMT Music Award winner no longer had to fear the negative impacts of his lucrative career as his little angel melted all the problems overnight.

Nonetheless, the doting parent did not regret venturing into the music industry. The "Hard To Forget" singer explained that the past few weeks had made him grateful for his numerous blessings.

While fighting back his tears, the renowned guitarist said: "I just want to say up here on The Ryman stage how grateful I am to have been a part of Country music for the last ten years."

Aside from his career, Hunt had a lot to be thankful for, especially his wife, as the arrival of their daughter came a few weeks after Fowler called off their divorce.

Last month, The Blast reported that the lovebirds had chosen to reconcile nearly three months after the mother-of-one filed to end their love story.

At the time, the country star's wife cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for separation in the court documents and listed shocking allegations against the "Wishful Drinking" artist.

The media personality accused her husband of "inappropriate marital behavior and adultery," using the musician's poor behavior to fuel her request for the sole custody of their yet-to-be-born child.

Fowler's demands included child support, alimony payments, and a plea for the pair to be "given separate property." Fortunately, the situation did not result in a separation.

Although no reasons were given for their reconciliation, fans were pleased to see the couple back together and continue their iconic romance.

The dynamic duo first met in 2008 and felt the intense flames of love that grew stronger each day until the "Kinfolks" musician's career took off in Nashville, Tennessee.

However, Hunt could not live without his significant other as he went beyond limits to reunite with Fowler years later. The couple eventually tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2017.

The "Young Once" Singer Previously Announced The Gender Of His Yet-To-Be-Born Child

Back in March, Hunt appeared on the Country Countdown USA radio program, where the 37-year-old Country star revealed the gender of his yet-to-be-born baby.

While discussing his hit song "23," the chart-topper surprised fans by announcing he was expecting a female child with Fowler, who would deliver between the "end of May or early June."

When the show's host queried the guitarist about searching for parental advice, Hunt confessed that he had asked his friend Russell Dickerson about fatherhood.

Although the former athlete did not share what advice he received, the AMA winner noted that many of his friends were parents, and watching them made the artist feel ready to be a dad.

As for his soon-to-be-born child's name, the entertainer stated that he and his wife were still thinking about the perfect name for little angle.

However, Hunt wanted his daughter to be born before choosing her identity. According to the "Single for the Summer" singer, his child's name would appear to him after meeting the precious bundle of joy.
