Casey James and Family Welcome Second Child
Country singer and former American Idol contestant Casey James is now the father of two! The artist's wife have recently gave birth to their second child, a baby boy.
James shared his family's happy news on Instagram on Saturday (Dec. 16). Although he did not say when his son was born, James did reveal his name: Maverick Pierce James.
"Thank you Jesus for this amazing blessing," James writes on Instagram. "The best gift for the Christmas season that I could ever ask for."
James revealed that Baby No. 2 was on the way in late June; the singer and his wife welcomed their first daughter in February of 2016. The American Idol star is extremely tight-lipped about his personal life, so few details are available about his children or wife. Reps for the singer confirmed confirmed his nuptials in December of 2014; James was previously married, in the mid-2000s, for just a few years.
James first made a name for himself during Season 9 of American Idol, in 2009-2010; he eventually finished third during the season. In 2015, he released a single called “Fall Apart,” but severed ties with his record label shortly thereafter. On June 9, James released a new album, Strip It Down, which features appearances from Delbert McClinton and Bonnie Bishop.
