On the podcast, he said, “December 12, baby Booth on their way. It’s happening. I’m gonna be a father. The mother is somebody who I’ve been close with for years. We’ve had a relationship and we’ve dated. This just isn’t some random girl I met at Honky Tonk Central. This is a big surprise for the both of us. [To be] open and honest, this wasn’t something that was planned. But it will be and is the most beautiful surprise I’ve ever had in my life. And it’s gonna be very special. I can’t wait. I’m ready. I’m 37 years old. I’ve always wanted to be a dad.”

What else did he reveal about the pregnancy?

So far Shawn has not revealed who the mother of his child is. However, he is hoping to have her on the podcast sometime soon. He is leaving the ball in her court as to if she wants to be seen.

He also revealed to fans that the mother-to-be is 18 weeks pregnant. Plus, they are going against the norm and decided to not find out the gender of their little one until it’s born in December. The couple will incorporate both of their last names when they officially name their baby.

Shawn praised the mother of his child and said she’s been a champ and a rock star. It’s taken him a while to adjust to the idea of being a dad but he’s excited.

He also already had a message for his critics. Shawn shared that he really doesn’t care what anybody thinks. For him not being married is not the most important part of all this.

Congrats to Shawn and his girlfriend on their big news!
