In May, Eden and Hoover told PEOPLE exclusively that they were expecting their first baby together, opening up about the first time they learned Hoover was pregnant.

“We were in our kitchen and just held each other and cried for 10 minutes,” Eden told PEOPLE. “I looked at the [pregnancy test] about 100 times, and then of course we were waiting to confirm it 100% with the doctor. And when we got that news, we were both so elated and just the happiest ever.”

“And pleasantly surprised,” added Hoover. “We’re just on the other side of the first trimester, sliding into [the] second [trimester] right now. I had a rough few weeks, but other than that, I’m feeling great.”

The longtime couple, who tied the knot in 2022, live in Nashville and said that they always knew their family would grow.

“The very first day that I met [Hilary], I told her she was meant to be a mom,” remembered Eden. “[Hilary] just had such the most natural maternal instinct. We’ve known from the very beginning that we wanted to start a family together. It’s always just been a matter of when and how.”

A year before they shared their exciting news, Eden and Hoover told PEOPLE they were beginning the process to start their family.

"Hilary, my wife, is getting her eggs taken out in two weeks, and I'll be getting mine in two months to be frozen so that we can just be ready for whenever we're ready," Eden told PEOPLE at the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards.

"But yeah, we definitely want kiddos," the "Left You for Me" artist added.
