The 25-year-old country crooner was joined by wife on Wednesday evening at the 2019 CMT Awards in Nashville, Tennessee, where they walked the red carpet with baby bump on full display. Brown kept it casual in a sporty monogrammed cap, brown patterned zip-up, distressed jeans while Katelyn donned a vibrant wrap dress with ruffled mini skirt.

On the red carpet, the singer told CMT he wrote a song inspired by his wife’s pregnancy but that fans may never hear it. “Well, I wrote a song about baby. I didn’t know if it was a boy or girl yet,” he said. “I don’t know if I’m gonna release it ’cause it was more towards a guy, but now I gotta write one for a little girl!”Speaking to PEOPLE a short time later, Brown continued to gush about the baby on the way. “I’m excited. I wish I could fast forward time and just get her here already. We’ve had a couple of babies at our house recently and we’ve just been holding them and practicing. We’re pumped.”Impending fatherhood has also given Brown a chance to reflect on his own father, who has been incarcerated since 1996. “I love my dad to death but I grew up without a father figure,” he says. “He still ain’t here, even though we talk on the phone. I just wanna be that person in her life.”He says growing up with a single mom would come in handy for raising a daughter — to a point, at least. “I was raised by all females so I think I know the majority of it but we’ll see. I’m sure I’ll get surprised.”Brown is one of many artists scheduled to perform during tonight’s ceremony. He’s also nominated for video of the year and male video of the year for his songs “Good As You” and “Lose It,” respectively.
