Meghan Patrick, Mitchell Tenpenny Welcome Baby Girl

Country singers Mitchell Tenpenny and Meghan Patrick welcomed their first child, daughter Ember James Tenpenny, on September 1, 2026, at 3:03 a.m.; she weighed 5 pounds, 12 ounces. The couple, who married in 2022, said they are grateful and savoring time with their newborn, whom they call Emmy. They have spoken openly about years of difficulty conceiving before learning they were expecting. The name honors Tenpenny’s father and grandfather, while Patrick said Ember felt strong, distinctive and beautiful. Patrick canceled the remainder of her tour to focus on her health and family, though she continued writing music during her pregnancy.
