Brantley Gilbert and his wife Amber welcomed their baby girl, Braylen Hendrix, into the world on September 9th. She is the second child for the couple, who also have son Barrett Hardy Clay, who will turn two on November 11th. Braylen Hendrix is such a unique name, and it turns out her first name was chosen long before Brantley and Amber were even married. Her middle name, Hendrix, is a family name on Amber’s side, and Brantley explains, “Braylen was a name … you know my wife and I have a very long history that goes back to when we were really young, and it was a name that we threw out way back then and it just kind of stuck and we kept it. And even though we spent years apart without seeing or speaking to each other, when we found out it was a little girl, it was like the plan never changed. That’s been a name that we had picked out for her for a long time.”
While Braylen is so young and breast feeding, Brantley is finishing up his Not Like Us Tour on the weekends, and continuing to promote his top ten single with Lindsay Ell, “What Happens in a Small Town,” so he doesn’t drive his wife crazy pacing the floor waiting for something to do. Plus, Brantley’s dad lives on their property, and he also has his right hand man, Steve, who lives on the property and helps Brantley with whatever he needs, so Amber is well protected and has help when he’s gone for two or three days at a time.
