Maddie Font, formerly of the duo Maddie & Tae, is embarking on a significant new phase, announcing her second pregnancy while simultaneously introducing her solo music career. The singer is expecting a baby girl, who will join her 3-year-old son, Forrest. This joyous announcement comes after a challenging period, as Font revealed she experienced an early miscarriage in March.
Font shared that the loss made her trust God's timing, influencing her approach to both her personal life and burgeoning solo career. The miscarriage occurred shortly before she entered the studio to record her upcoming EP. The couple discovered they were expecting again in May, and Font is due early next year.
She has already released her first solo single, "Drive Me Around," with the music video filmed while she navigated pregnancy sickness. Font acknowledges the prevalent misconception in the music industry that women cannot balance motherhood and a career, expressing hope that her story will encourage other female artists.
