Elle King Reveals Exciting Baby Announcement

Country music singer Elle King made a huge announcement on social media on Monday-- she is expecting!

The 35-year-old Grammy-nominated singer revealed via an Instagram Reel that she and her partner, Daniel Tooker, are having their second baby boy. The couple met in 2019 when she visited his tattoo shop for some new ink.

Elle King and Daniel Tooker got engaged in October 2020 and welcomed their son, Lucky, in September 2021.

In her recent Instagram video, the couple celebrated their pregnancy and hosted a sex reveal, joined by their three-year-old son, Lucky Levi, as they released blue confetti.

"Doubling down," the soon-to-be mom of two captioned the post, adding a blue heart emoji.

Fans immediately flooded the comments section to congratulate King. "CONGRATULATIONS! Momma of 5 boys here, it’s just great!" one of her followers said. "Lucky is going to love his new big bro role!"

"There’s nobody I would be happier for this to happen to than Elle King," another said. "Keep thriving sister."

Although King and Tooker are currently together, they experienced a brief split after welcoming their first child. The couple proposed to each other a year after meeting and revealed in March 2021 that they were starting a family following several miscarriages.

Their rainbow baby arrived that September.

By May 2023, King and Tooker had parted ways, a sentiment the singer hinted at when she performed in a “Single” jacket.

In a recent interview with People Magazine, the country music singer shared, "We're back together."

"We had to grow," she said of her reconciliation with Tooker, which they did for the sake of their son, Lucky. "I don't know. I'll try anything twice."

"He's definitely brought me and his dad back together just because, what are we doing?" the singer said. "We have everything that both of us have ever wanted right here. Let's put our weapons down. Come on. This is it. This is life. It doesn't get better than this. This is worth trying. This is worth wiping a slate clean. This is worth all the effort in the world. My family, this is what deserves all the energy and effort."

King added, "We're starting fresh. We just bought a really gorgeous new house in the mountains of Nashville. It's happy, it's beautiful. I'm very happy, I'm very content, which is nice, and I don't know if I've ever really felt that, so it's a blessing."

In January, King graced the stage of Nashville’s legendary Grand Ole Opry to celebrate Dolly Parton’s 78th birthday, joining a lineup of talented musicians, including Ashley Monroe, Tigirlily Gold, Dailey & Vincent, and Terri Clark.

However, she quickly stole the spotlight for a different reason when she candidly told the audience, “Hi, my name is Elle King. I’m f-cking hammered.”

As she struggled to sing Parton’s 2001 hit "Marry Me," it became apparent that she had forgotten the lyrics. Not one to shy away from the moment, King cleverly improvised, saying, “I don’t know the lyrics to this thing in this f-cking town. Don’t tell Dolly ’cause it’s her birthday.”

Months later, King went on Kaitlyn Bristowe's "Off the Vine" podcast where the 35-year-old country star reflected on her tumultuous January performance, claiming she "went to a different type of therapeutic program" after the incident because she "was very sad, and nobody really knows what I was what I was going through behind closed doors."

"And I just took that as, if it wasn't this, it's gonna be something else," King added. "I've had to heal and deal and go through things. And, someone said to me, I think you might find a silver lining or something good that comes out of your experience with that."

The Dolly Parton incident was not the first time the country music singer addressed the backlash.

Two months after the infamous performance, King took to Instagram, sharing a video of herself running up and down the stands of a concert venue during a workout. “To everyone sending me love because I’m human and already talked to Dolly. I love you,” she wrote over the video. “To everyone who told me to kill myself, I love you too.”

The country music star has previously spoken out about her battles with alcohol and drug abuse.
