A Love Story Rooted in Teenage Sweethearts

Long before Payton and Hannah became husband and wife, their love story started back when they were just teens.

It’s a classic tale of young love blooming into a lifelong partnership, filled with shared dreams and endless support.

The pair tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in 2021, marking the beginning of their married life.

Now, just a few years later, they’re preparing to step into their roles as mom and dad.

“It’s very surreal to know that we’re going to be parents,” Payton shared, the joy in his voice unmistakable. “We’re over the moon about it.”

The Sweet Surprise

The big news of their upcoming arrival came in a way that could only be described as heartwarming. It was just before Father’s Day when Hannah began to suspect she might be pregnant.

With Payton on the road for a show, Hannah took a pregnancy test, unable to wait for him to return. When the result was positive, she knew she had to make this Father’s Day unforgettable.

“I actually ended up surprising him when he came home with a Father’s Day gift,”

Hannah explained. The surprise went off without a hitch, leaving Payton absolutely stunned.

As he walked through the door, Payton had a feeling that something big was about to happen.

“I remember thinking, ‘this could be the last time that I don’t know I’m going to be a dad,’” he recalls.

The moment he opened the gift and realized he was about to become a father, emotions overwhelmed him. “I broke down and I bawled like a baby,” Payton confessed. “Nothing prepares you for that moment. It was pure joy.”

Preparing for Parenthood

The news of the pregnancy, while unplanned, was a delightful surprise for the Smiths. They had always wanted to start a family but hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.

“I think that family is one of the most important things for both of us,” Hannah said. “We have really great parents and family members who have modeled that very well for us.”

This baby is undoubtedly a dream come true for the couple, who are now gearing up for the changes that come with parenthood.

Currently, Hannah is in her second trimester and enjoying the first flutters of baby kicks. While the first few months came with the typical bouts of morning sickness, she’s now feeling much better and eagerly anticipating the next stages of her pregnancy.

The couple is excited to find out the baby’s gender soon, which will help them in decorating the nursery – a room in their Nashville home that’s currently doubling as Payton’s music room and Hannah’s office.

A Home Full of Love, Laughter, and Music

Despite their busy schedules, Payton and Hannah are making time to prepare for their little one’s arrival. They’ve already picked up some adorable baby items, including onesies and tiny Nike shoes.

While they’ve got a lot more to get done, there’s no rush – they’re savoring every moment. And in true musician fashion, Payton can’t wait to share his love for music with his child.

“I hope our home will always be filled with music and laughter,” he says. “Those are the sounds I grew up with, and I want the same for our baby.”

Balancing Family Life with a Flourishing Music Career

As Payton looks forward to fatherhood, his music career is also hitting new highs. His latest album, What Colors Your Wild, released in 2023, has been a massive hit among country music fans.

He’s set to join Lily Rose on tour this September, a venture that he’s both excited about and a little anxious to embark on, considering his impending daddy duties.

Balancing a rising career with the joys and responsibilities of fatherhood is no small feat, but Payton feels ready for the challenge.

“My life is full of gratitude right now,” he shares. “I’m grateful for my career, my fans, and most of all, for this new chapter we’re about to start as a family.

I want to soak in every moment and hold onto it. Every song I write now has a new meaning, knowing that soon, I’ll have a little one listening along.”
