Gabby Barrett is debuting her latest baby bump.

On Thursday, the American Idol alum, 23, stepped out on a red carpet for the first time since announcing she and husband Cade Foehner are expecting baby No. 3 — a girl! The country star showed off her belly while walking the red carpet of the inaugural People's Choice Country Awards, airing live from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on Thursday.

The "I Hope" artist was glowing as she smiled on the carpet and held onto her growing bump, which was proudly on display with the silhouette of her tight, floor-length gown.

The singer also took the opportunity to make daring fashion choices: She sported a one-shoulder, asymmetrical black velvet dress and wore a glove adorned with silver chains.

The "Pick Me Up" singer is among the presenters at the 2023 PCCAs. She's appearing at the award show on the heels of the summer release of her latest song "Glory Days," the first single off her currently undated, forthcoming album.

Barrett and Foehner's new addition, a little girl, will join 10-month-old son Augustine Boone, whom they welcomed in October 2022, and 2½-year-old daughter Baylah May.

The singers announced their exciting baby news in a joint Instagram post in August.

In the first photo, the couple sat on a stage surrounded by bright pink lights with a black box at the forefront of the picture. The second shot then revealed that the box read, "Baby #3."

A third slide showed the "I Hope" singer in bed, holding an at-home ultrasound machine to her stomach as she whispered, "There she is."

"SWIPE for a surprise 🩷#livingthedream," the pair captioned the joint post.

The musicians first met in 2018 while they were both competing on season 16 of American Idol. Barrett and Foehner's TV romance quickly turned into a serious relationship, and the pair announced their engagement a year after their season of American Idol wrapped.

The couple wed on Oct. 5, 2019, in a Texas ceremony surrounded by close family and friends.

"It is a blessing to find a husband or wife in this life, marriage is a profound and special thing, and we are so excited to finally be husband and wife," Barrett said of her wedding to Foehner.
