“He is second only to his mother. He is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen. We have been waiting for this moment all year and are thrilled to finally have our baby boy with us. McCreery stated in the same statement that we have started a new grand adventure that will last for the rest of my life.”
The proud new father stated, “Gabi is a rock star during Avery’s conception.” She is my pride and joy. She is already a pro at motherhood. Gabi has already done a great job as his mom. That is part of what makes me happy as his dad.”
American Idol’s winner joked that he wasn’t the last McCreery male. It’s up now to Avery.
Scotty and Gabi got married in North Carolina in June 2018. Although they had been together for six years, the two lovebirds had been close friends all their lives. McCreery explained to PEOPLE in 1996 that such a story does not happen very often. They are now a three-person family. We are so proud of Scotty, Gabi and the entire family.
