Idol’s Scotty McCreery and Wife Gabi Expecting First Baby

Now, Scotty, 28, is looking forward to all the moments he and his son will share together, including introducing him to baseball, which he describes as his “first love right there with music.”

Gabi, 28, told People that her career as a pediatric nurse has “definitely prepared me in many ways” for motherhood, something her husband is extremely grateful for.

“It’ll be great for me because I’ll be so nervous,” Scotty said about his wife’s expertise. “If the baby coughs, I’ll be like, ‘Hey, Gabi, is this okay? What’s happening here?’ So, knowing that she has that experience, I think will be huge.”
