Lady Antebellum just announced new additions to their families – Dave Haywood and his wife Kelli are expecting a baby girl in December, while Hillary Scott and her husband, drummer Chris Tyrrell, will welcome twins in February. The trio’s brood, which includes Charles Kelley’s son Ward, Dave’s son Cash and Hillary’s daughter Eisele, have been traveling with them for the band’s You Look Good World Tour. Charles says it’s been a lot of fun having the kids on the road.

“I’ve got the youngest, and this last weekend actually was the first time he slept throughout the night on the tour bus, so that’s a big deal,” says Charles. “He slept until 8 o’clock, which is crazy. I think it’s ‘cause we pulled out all the baby pools and wore ‘em out in the sun for a little bit. It is. It’s a different thing, you know? You’ll sit there and give him, my wife and I will give him a little bath and put ‘em down for bed at 7p, 7:30p and then I’ve got to flip the switch and go try and become a rock star for the night. So, it is. It’s an interesting head space, but it’s some much fun. I mean, they put everything into perspective. You always hear about that, but it’s so true. Nothing really is that big of a deal outside of if your family is healthy and happy. You know, the rest of this stuff is so ancillary compared to it.”

Dave agrees with his bandmate. “Watching all of the kids interact is one of my favorite moments,” he says. “We had all three of them out on the road last weekend – Cash, Ward and Eisele – and watching them play together and we got some cute little photos with all of them together playing backstage in the pools and blowing bubbles and doing everything backstage. It was just a blast.”

Lady A has hit the Top 3 on the Billboard country chart with their latest hit, “You Look Good.”

The band will take their You Look Good World Tour to Englewood, Colorado on Tuesday (August 29th) and Salt Lake City, Utah on Wednesday (August 30th).

CHARLES: “It’s been a lot of fun, actually, having the kids out. It’s definitely a lot more work for me, especially. I’ve got the youngest, and this last weekend actually was the first time he slept throughout the night on the tour bus, so that’s a big deal.” DAVE: “Congratulations.” CHARLES: “He slept until 8 o’clock, which is crazy.

DAVE: “Watching all of the kids interact is one of my favorite moments. We had all three of them out on the road last weekend – Cash, Ward and Eisele – and watching them play together and we got some cute little photos with all of them together playing backstage in the pools and blowing bubbles and doing everything backstage. It was just a blast. I was laughing ‘cause last weekend Cash officially kicked me out of the bed in the back of the bus, and I’m now in the crib bunk area in the middle and Cash wants his big boy bed, as he calls it, which is my bed in the back. So, you do what you got to do, you know?” CHARLES: “Anything to get sleep.”
