American Idol fans have since flooded both comment sections with their support for the couple, even though they’ve been parents for over a year. In 2021, they welcomed their first child, Baylah May into the world.

Since becoming a parent, fans have praised Barrett for having a strong grasp on her role as a mother as well as her country music career. Barrett quickly found her place in the country music genre soon after American Idol and has maintained her position ever since.

Fans Questioned if Barrett Was Hiding a Baby Bump On American Idol

This country star has been no stranger to the spotlight in the past few months. She’s appeared on American Idol, hosted the American Country Music Awards (ACM Awards), and more. Since she’s been prominent in the pubic, fans realized that they may have detected her pregnancy during her American Idol appearance.

“I had a feeling when I saw you in that very oversized coat on idol I said I wonder if they are having another adorable little she’s hiding under there?! Congrats you 2!!!” a fan wrote in response to Barrett’s Instagram announcement.

Barrett appeared on the competition series in April as a mentor to the Top 14 contestants. Within the series she was spotted in what looked like an oversized suit coat and matching black pants. Fans were alarmed when they saw her in this outfit because it seemed like she had something to hide. Since Barrett changed up her signature look this year, it wouldn’t have been a surprise if she was trying out a new style, but such was not the case.
