Nick Carter and wife Lauren Kitt have welcomed their third child into the world as the star revealed they’ve been dealing ‘minor complications’ following the delivery.
The Backstreet Boy shared the news with fans on Thursday morning as he tweeted: ‘We are proud to announce that our baby has officially arrived.
‘But as a parent knows all to very well, sometimes things don’t turn out the way you plan it. We have been experiencing some minor complications but things are looking a little better after the first night.’
The 41-year-old singer added: ‘I wanted to thank everyone for all the prayers and good thoughts during this time. We will keep you updated.’
Fans had been worried after the singer shared a post asking for prayers on Wednesday evening.
Alongside a picture of him praying, he wrote on Instagram: ‘Yes I’m a believer. I ask god to give us strength to protect mommy and baby. #fatherhood #prayers.’
One concerned fans commented: ‘we’re here with you, we’re in prayer, everything will be fine! We love you.’
Another added: ‘I so would like to hug you tight to give you @nickcarter and @laurenkittcarter all the strength love and good vibes… everything gonna be alright… take some rest as you can. And Family first.’
The Grammy nominee and his partner tied the knot in April 2014 in Santa Barbara, California, after six years of dating.
Nick and Lauren are already parents to five-year-old son Odin and one-year-old daughter Saoirse.
He announced Lauren’s latest pregnancy on Instagram this January with an ultrasound video.
‘Sometimes life blesses you with little surprises,’ he wrote at the time, adding, ‘#2021 #babynumber3 #fatherhood #happyhome.’
