Country Stars Who Welcomed Babies in 2018

2018 is almost over, and the year has brought several bundles of joy for some of country’s biggest stars.

While some stars welcomed children for the first time this year, others continued to expand their families, with two singers even adding twins to their brood. Naturally, every one is equally adorable, and thankfully, their parents are fans of social media, posting plenty of sweet shots of their new additions.
