Morris also showed a few photos of the baby, captioning her pictures simply with “Hayes Andrew Hurd. 3/23/20. Love of our lives.” The pictures, which showed a smitten (and likely tired) Morris, garnered reactions from several of the couple’s fans, including actress Reese Witherspoon, who wrote “Aww how precious. Congratulations!”

Morris and Hurd already decided they will bring Hayes out on the road with them. Morris will kick off her RSVP: The Tour in June, with Hurd serving as her opening act for some of the shows.
“It’s been so cool to see it be normal to have children out there,” Morris told Taste of Country. “It’s a real life; they don’t know any different,” Morris noted. “I think it’ll be cool to have this baby grow up on the road and that be a normal thing.”
It was Fairchild whom Morris reached out to when trying to figure out how to juggle a tour and a baby.
“She just seems like she has the answer for anything,” Morris boasted of her friend. “She just has that energy, that boss lady energy like ‘I’ve got it covered.’”
Hurd is also eager to have time with Hayes while on the road, which he says is the main reason his wife invited him on her tour.
“I’m there to pretty much hold the baby from 9:30 to 11,” Hurd told PEOPLE. “That’s basically why I got booked. I was asked and told that we will be touring together this year.”
Morris’ RSVP: The Tour is scheduled to begin on June 5. Find tour dates by visiting her website.
