Country star Elle King, who shares son Lucky, 3, with Dan Tooker, has given birth to their second baby.

Elle King has welcomed America’s newest sweetheart.

Five months after sharing her pregnancy, the “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer announced the arrival of her and Dan Tooker’s baby boy.

"Our family just got a little bit brighter," the couple captioned a joint Feb. 28 Instagram post. "Welcome to the world Royal Tooker."

In September, Elle—who is also mom to her and Dan’s son Lucky Levi, 3—shared she was expecting her second baby in a sex reveal video posted to social media. In the clip, Elle, sporting a white cowboy hat and overalls, pulled a string sending blue balloons and confetti falling around her, Dan and Lucky.

Elle, who grew emotional upon seeing she was having a boy, captioned the video, “Doubling down,” accompanied by the blue heart emoji. In a follow-up post, she expressed gratitude for the support amid her family’s latest chapter.

“I am so happy,” the 35-year-old wrote on Instagram Sept. 23 alongside a photo of her holding her toddler near the shore of a river. “Thank you for all the love and support as @tatooker, Lucky, and I grow our family.”

The news of the alternative country star’s pregnancy came less than a week after Elle shared she and Dan, who broke up in April 2023, had rekindled their romance.

“We had to grow,” Elle, who met the tattoo artist in 2019 before getting engaged in 2020, told People in an interview published Sept. 18. “I don’t know. I’ll try anything twice.”

But ultimately, the “Jersey Giant” singer credited Lucky with restoring her and Dan’s relationship.

“He’s definitely brought me and his dad back together,” she said. “We have everything that both of us have ever wanted right here. Let’s put our weapons down. This is life. It doesn't get better than this.”

Noting that raising their little one together was “worth wiping a slate clean,” Elle explained, “This is worth all the effort in the world. My family, this is what deserves all the energy and effort."

And these days, that new family of four is at home in Tennessee, where the singer bought a “really gorgeous new house in the mountains of Nashville.”

"It's happy, it's beautiful,” she said. “I'm very happy, I'm very content, which is nice, and I don't know if I've ever really felt that, so it's a blessing."

The positive developments in the “America’s Sweetheart” artist's life come after a difficult period, during which she faced personal struggles that led to her drunken performance at a Dolly Parton tribute concert in January.

“I had been going through something very heavy and traumatic in my life at the time,” Elle explained during the May 16 episode of Chelsea Handler’s iHeartRadio podcast Dear Chelsea. “That day was a really big day dealing with what I was going through and am still going through, and I suffer from severe PTSD.”

Eight months after the incident, the “Baby Outlaw” singer expressed she is now “the best version” of herself, and her son was a major reason why.

“I’ve got a small son,” she told People. “He’s going to find out about all this one day, and he’s going to see that I tried to be just the best version of myself, and I used it to make myself better, and I did. It’s more of a love story of self than anything.”
