Lady A’s Charles Kelley Welcomes Second Child With Wife Cassie

Lady A member Charles Kelley and his wife Cassie have welcomed their second child, son Archer Lancaster Kelley.

According to an announcement shared with People, the baby was born Tuesday at 11:14 a.m., and weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces. Archer joins the couple’s older son, 9-year-old Ward, born in 2016.

“Our little miracle Archer Lancaster Kelley arrived at 11:14 am on Sept. 16 and we are absolutely in love,” Kelley told People in a statement. “We are so thankful to get to be his mom and dad, and to share the joy with his big brother, Ward, who is over the moon!”

A photo shared with the outlet depicts the family in a hospital room, gathered around their new addition and smiling as Cassie holds newborn Archer.

Charles and Cassie celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary earlier this year and were wed in June 2009.

Musically, Lady A’s Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood are gearing up for a holiday project release, when the album On This Winter’s Night (Vol. 2) drops Sept. 26. The album will feature collaborations with Ricky Skaggs and Chris Tomlin. The album follows their 2020 holiday project On This Winter’s Night.

Lady A will also hit the road this upcoming holiday season for their first Christmas tour, which begins Dec. 5 in Atlanta. The group’s 2025 This Winter’s Night Tour will include 12 days of Christmas music during shows across the United States, and will wrap with a three-night run at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Dec. 21-23.
