When did Nick Carter and Lauren Kitt Carter announce they were expecting their third child?
Nick and Lauren first announced the exciting news that they were expecting their third baby in January. The couple shared a video clip of their sonogram on Instagram, with Nick writing: ‘Sometimes life blesses you with little surprises. 🥰 #2021 #babynumber3 #fatherhood #happyhome’.
Their wonderful baby news came after they went through devastating pregnancy losses in the past.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE earlier this year, Nick and Lauren opened up on their pregnancy journey and how this pregnancy was a “surprise”.
“We were going to have two children and it was a surprise. I didn’t find out I was pregnant till I was about five-and-a-half months pregnant”, she disclosed.
Lauren went on to explain, “I didn’t have any symptoms; I didn’t have anything indicating that I was pregnant.”
During the interview Nick expressed to the publication how grateful he was for his family.
“I have always wanted to love somebody, someone unconditionally and give everything to those people, my wife, my kids, and be selfless.
“Now that I have it, yes, I am living my dream and I am very grateful for that and very blessed”, he declared.
