Jessie James Decker And Erik Dekker's family just got a little bigger as the couple welcomed baby No. 4.
βOur beautiful boy is here π Denver Calloway Decker,β Jessie posted via Instagram on Sunday, February 18. β8.7 [pounds] 9-2-24 π.β
The country singer announced her pregnancy via Instagram in August 2023. “Good morning,” she captioned a video in which she showed off her baby bump as she Mariah Carey's song “Always Be My Baby” played in the background.
Jessie and Eric β who married in June 2013 β are already parents to daughter Vivianne and sons Eric Jr. and Forrest.
Days after sharing her pregnancy news with the world, Jessie revealed that Eric was shocked by the development. β[Eric] actually didn't believe me. He thought I was joking with him, but I would never joke about something like this,β she told fans during an Instagram Story Q&A. βHe thought literally [my then-pregnant sister] Sydney was peeing on a stick and we were messing around with him.β
Once Jessie assured Eric she wasn't joking, he got excited about their growing brood. βI thought, 'I'm not kidding. This is real,β she said. βIt was a shock for a while, but as soon as he knew it was real, I mean, you know him. β¦ We love kids, so we say, 'Yes!'β
As for whether the couple was trying to get pregnant, Jessie revealed that this was not the case. 'I've probably been asked this question the most often. It wasn't planned,β she said. βWe were very, very surprised.β
Jessie has been outspoken in the past about urging Eric to get a vasectomy, but he has been hesitant to undergo the procedure. βI felt like we were done and I just feel like God always has other plans,β she said during the question-and-answer session. βSo it was extremely shocking and surprising, but like: [weβre] Cheerful [and] excited.”
Although Jessie noted that the couple's children were “so excited” to have a younger sibling, she also expressed her gratitude. βI love being a mother and it was God's plan for me to have another,β she added. “I'm so grateful. … Being able to have another little baby is the most incredible blessing.”
Jessie previously hinted in a July 2023 interview with We weekly that she and Eric may not be done expanding their family just yet. βThree is such a good number, but anything is possible,β she said at the time. βEvery month I take a deep breath because I have no idea.β
Speaking about her bond with her children, Jessie talked about how they changed her. βI became myself when I became a mother,β she said Us. βMy children make my life complete.β
