Country Artist Niko Moon Welcomes First Child With Wife Anna

Niko Moon reveals the first photo of his precious daughter, Lily Anne Moon.

Niko Moon and his wife Anna Moon are officially parents. 

The country couple welcomed their first child, Lily Anne Moon. The "GOOD TIME" singer turned to social media late Tuesday (Nov. 15) evening to announce the exciting news. 

The snapshot featured the 40-year-old in the hospital cradling their bundle of joy. The vocalist kept his daughter's face hush-hush, as the newborn was photographed wrapped in a baby blanket and hat. 

"Lily Anne Moon is here y'all 💛," wrote Moon in the caption. "This man was made to be her daddy," Anna pointed out on her Instagram story. 

Members of the country community flocked to the comments to congratulate the new mom and dad. 

"So happy for you both," said breakout star Kylie Morgan. "This is awesome. Things will never be the same in the best way ever," shared Zac Brown Band's Coy Bowles. "Congrats man!! Kids change you in ways you never thought possible," added Bryan Lanning. 

Moon and his songwriting collaborator wife have yet to reveal additional information about the birth. However, Moon asked his devoted fan base for parenting "advice" and any tips or tricks that would be beneficial early this week.  

"Get as much sleep as you can now! You will have interrupted sleep for about 6-9 months. You will love every minute of it, though," shared a follower. "Spend as much time with her as you can. They grow up quick," added another. "Just be her dad! Be there for her when she needs you. For now, take turns and help out the best you can. That's my advice." 

The fast-rising artist told CMT that their pregnancy journey had been far from easy. He explained that his wife has a rare genetic condition called hereditary leiomyomatosis [HLRCC], a  complication that typically occurs during the childbearing years and causes growths within the uterus. The two struggled to start a family for nearly two years, until they decided to do IVF [in-vitro fertilization]. 

"One to 200 women in the world have this, and it makes you very prone to cancer. She had about nine tumors that were growing inside of her uterus. So, she had surgery to remove all the tumors. Then she needed to do IVF," explained Moon. "We did three rounds of IVF. The respect level for my wife could not be higher. What she has gone through to make this a reality for our family is massive." 

Moon stressed that he was born to be a father and that they decided on a family name for their miracle baby. 

"I am meant to be a father," said Moon with a beaming smile. "Her middle name is the family name. My mama's middle name is Anne, and my wife's mama's middle name is Anne. Then Lily, we just love Lilly's. We just thought it was a beautiful, soft name." 

After discovering they were pregnant, Moon and Anna wrote a lullaby-like tune titled "I Can't Wait To Love You."  

"I can't wait to hear your laugh, I can't wait to see your smile |  I can't wait to look into your eyes and get lost for a little while | I can't wait to feel your hand when it's holding onto mine," they sing. "I can't wait for you to say my name, it's gonna get me every time |  Out of all thД things that I can't wait to do | I can't wait to love you."

The seasoned songwriter confirmed that the sentimental melody is his favorite track to date and from an angle he has never heard before. The relatable song is destined to become a timeless tune that parents will sing to their children for years to come.
