Lady A’s Hillary Scott and her husband Chris Tyrrell have welcomed their fourth daughter, Selah Jean. The name’s spiritual meaning — and the story behind it — has fans emotional.
Hillary Scott of Lady A Surprises Fans With Fourth Baby — and the Name Choice Is Turning Heads
Country music star Hillary Scott, one-third of the Grammy-winning group Lady A, just shared the sweetest surprise — the birth of her fourth daughter!
Hillary and her husband, Chris Tyrrell, welcomed their new baby girl, Selah Jean, on July 25, 2025, the couple confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE.
“We are absolutely overjoyed to introduce you to Selah Jean!” the couple said in a joint statement.
“She’s already brought so much love and light into our lives. From the moment she arrived, it felt like a piece of our hearts we didn’t know was missing had been found.”
🌸 The Meaning Behind Baby Selah’s Beautiful Name
Hillary and Chris also shared the deep spiritual meaning behind their daughter’s name — and it’s resonating with fans.
“Selah,” a word often found in the Book of Psalms, is interpreted to mean pause and reflect. Her middle name, “Jean,” translates to God is gracious.
Together, the name symbolizes peace, gratitude, and divine grace — values that Hillary says guide her family’s life.
“In just a few days, we already see how deeply Selah embodies those words,” the singer said.
“She brings calm, joy, and wonder into our home. She truly feels like a miracle — like Christmas came early this year.”
👧 A Joyful House Full of Girls
With Selah’s arrival, Hillary and Chris are now parents to four daughters —
-
Eisele Kaye, 12
-
Twins Emory JoAnn and Betsy Mack, 7
-
And baby Selah Jean, their newest little blessing.
“Watching Eisele, Emory, and Betsy step into their new roles as big sisters again has been incredibly heartwarming,” Hillary shared.
“They are so attentive, nurturing, and excited. Selah is already surrounded by so much love.”
Hillary first revealed her pregnancy in February through an intimate Instagram post that melted hearts. In the photo, her daughters’ wrists wore friendship bracelets reading “big sister,” beside a labeled bin marked Maternity.
She captioned it:
“Our family will be made complete with one more precious little girl joining us this summer. I’m dusting off that maternity bin from storage one more time.”
The singer also called her husband “the absolute BEST girl dad,” adding:
“We are thankful that God has entrusted us with a household full of girls. Each one of them is a gift.”
💖 Faith, Loss, and Gratitude: The Story Behind the Scott-Tyrrell Family
Hillary and Chris have long been open about their journey — both the blessings and the heartbreaks.
In 2015, the couple suffered a miscarriage, a loss Hillary has described as “life-changing.” She’s since spoken about how the experience deepened her faith and resilience as a mother.
When their twin daughters were born in 2018, she shared an emotional message:
“Our family is proud and so thankful to share that our precious baby girls arrived safely. Thank you, Lord, for healthy babies.”
That mixture of pain, gratitude, and faith continues to shape their outlook today.
🎄 “Christmas in July”: A Season of Joy
Now, seven years after welcoming their twins, Hillary says her home feels “more alive than ever.”
Between songwriting, motherhood, and touring, she’s embracing the beautiful chaos of life with four daughters.
“She truly feels like the most priceless blessing,” Hillary said. “It really does feel like Christmas in July — something magical, unexpected, and full of light.”
As they adjust to life as a family of six, Hillary and Chris remain grounded in faith, family, and love, cherishing every moment with their girls.
