PEOPLE reported the news, sharing that the couple are very “excited” to have a baby on the way.

“We are very excited,” Gabby told PEOPLE. “The Lord has blessed us with a little one, and we’re really excited to finally be able to share the news with everybody and just have a big old family celebration about it.”

“We were in Texas visiting Cade’s side of his family,” she says. “And it’s funny, because I did not think that I was. Around lunchtime, I remember taking the test and my eyes nearly crossed! I was like, ‘Wait, is that two lines?’ I came running out to Cade and was just like, ‘Oh my gosh, I think I am.’ That’s all that I said, and he knew what that meant. I started crying, and it was very sweet.”

The duo later found out that they were expecting a baby girl.

“I get to have two Gabbys!” Cade said of the exciting news. “Ones not enough.” “One is enough,” Gabby joked. “We were really excited whether it was a boy or a girl. I always wanted a girl growing up, as well as a boy, so to have a girl first is just really exciting. I hope she gets his hair — definitely not mine.”

Congrats to the happy couple!
