“We are proud to announce that our baby has officially arrived,” Carter shared with a prayer hands emoji.

The 41-year-old captioned the photo, “Yes I’m a believer. I ask god to give us strength to protect mommy and baby. 🙏🏻 #fatherhood #prayers.”

This newborn is the couple’s third baby. Carter and Kitt met at a meet and greet organized by Nick’s brother, Aaron and sister, Angel. “Three hours into conversing on my balcony overlooking the beach, we saw shooting star after shooting star. We both looked at each other and it got quiet,” Carter told Inside Weddings.

Carter eventually proposed to Kitt on a private island. The wedding took place at a Santa Barbara resort, according to Inside weddings and it featured on the reality show, I Heart Nick Carter.
