Jake Owen’s “The One That Got Away” is already a big hit on the radio from his top selling album “Barefoot BlueJean Night”  and his new EP Endless Summer is tearing up the downloads and he’s ready to hit the Road with Florida Georgia Line on the CMT Tour.   But the BIG news these days for Jake and wife Lacey is that they are expecting their first child — a baby girl — later this month. 

Jake says that his parents are very excited about a grandchild, “Yeah, my parents — as most parents are — are very excited about havin’ grandkids. My mom has asked me for years, ‘When are you gonna get married? When are you gonna get married? I want grandbabies.’ And I told her that it just was gonna be…it’s gonna take the right person, and I really never thought I’d get married, but a lot of things in my life have happened when I least expected it, and Lacey came into my life at a time when I needed it most — and needed her the most, and thankfully she’ll be here with me ‘til my dying day.”

“My grandparents are super excited about being great-grandparents, my parents are excited about being grandparents, and I’m excited about bein’ a parent, so there’s a lot of cool feelings goin’ around the Owen household these days.”
