Country music superstar Brantley Gilbert put his October 11th concert in Tupelo, Mississippi, on a temporary hiatus to embrace the arrival of his third bundle of joy. Without a moment's notice, Gilbert rushed offstage, citing an "urgent backstage matter," only to reveal later through an Instagram video that his wife, Amber, had seemingly welcomed their newborn son amidst the rolling wheels of their tour bus.
"Last night, life served up its wildest ride yet. Witnessing the unparalleled courage and grace of an extraordinary woman giving birth is a memory etched forever in my heart," Gilbert captioned his heartfelt post. The video, underscored by his poignant 2019 ballad "Man That Hung the Moon," painting a father's unwavering devotion to his infant son, kicks off with Gilbert's hasty exit from the spotlight.
The footage then transports viewers to the intimate confines of the tour bus, where Gilbert shares tender moments with Amber and their newborn, creating a poignant tableau of familial bliss. In a particularly endearing scene, Amber cradles their cherished child as she and Brantley lock gazes, their love and adoration palpable.
The video also captures a tender phone call between Gilbert and his mother, where he shares the joyous news: "You've got a brand-new grandchild in the family." When inquired about Amber's well-being, Gilbert's pride overflows as he chuckles, "She's a total warrior, Mom." His voice wavers with emotion before regaining composure.
Determined to complete his commitment to the stage, Gilbert informs his mother of his impending return and the video cuts to him receiving a hero's welcome from the audience. "We've got a baby on board!" he announces to the thunderous cheers.
In his caption, Gilbert pours out his gratitude: "To our road family for rallying around us, Brittany Thornton for assisting in this miraculous arrival, Tupelo, Mississippi, for your unwavering love and support, and most importantly, Amber Gilbert – for showing me the boundless strength of a woman's heart. I adore you, my love."
His legion of fans flocked to the comments, sharing in his joy and awe. "Incredible! Baby boy's already a seasoned tour pro," one exclaimed, adding a heartfelt emoji. "This little one has a tale to tell for generations," another mused. Amber was hailed as a "rockstar mom" for seemingly bringing forth life on the road, with fans gushing, "What a powerful woman and an unforgettable story! Congratulations to your beautiful family!" Brantley and Amber, married since 2015, are also proud parents to Barrett, aged 6, and Braylen, 5, and their growing family continues to inspire with each new chapter.
