Cody Johnson Reveals How Wife Brandi Told Him She Was Pregnant

Cody Johnson and his wife Brandi are preparing to welcome their third child—and first baby boy—this fall. The couple first revealed the pregnancy during the 2025 ACM Awards, where Brandi’s baby bump made its red carpet debut. But according to Cody, the idea for that public reveal was all his.

“Jessie, my publicist… she’s like, ‘We need to figure out a way to release this.’ And I was like, ‘I think when she shows up at the ACMs and she looks like she’s smuggling a volleyball in her dress, it’s gonna be pretty obvious,’” Cody told SiriusXM’s The Highway.

That same night, Cody also shared they were expecting a son. Already parents to daughters Clara Mae (born in 2015) and Cori (born in 2017), this new addition will complete their family of five.

Brandi’s pregnancy reveal to Cody was just as memorable. “She texted me…‘Hey, can you come out to the barn and help me unload my truck?’” he recalled. “It’s this like little bitty box… and she’s like, ‘Oh, by the way, here you can have this too.’ And it was a pregnancy test.”

Telling their daughters brought on happy tears. “Clara… she burst into tears, happy though… ‘Oh my God, I’m gonna be a big sister.’ And then Cori does it too,” Cody shared.

With a due date of October 25 and a lighter touring schedule afterward, Cody is excited to spend time at home. “He’ll grow up and be like, ‘Oh, I was there.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, you were there when I won Song of the Year,’” he said.

From cowboy dreams to built-in babysitters, the Johnsons are ready for their newest adventure.
