It was a night to remember at the ACM Awards on Sunday, April 15, when the world learned that Chris Stapleton and his wife, Morgane Hayes, welcomed twin boys into their family. The country music star, who won the Album of the Year award, wasn't present to accept it, leaving the audience curious. Reba McEntire stepped in to explain his absence with some exciting news.
In her announcement, Reba revealed, “Chris couldn’t be here because Morgane’s expecting twins.” She went on to share that the twins had arrived earlier than expected, surprising everyone with the fresh-off-the-press news. “Twin boys,” she exclaimed, bringing cheers from the audience. The proud parents have not yet shared the names of their new arrivals.

Announcing the Arrival of the Twins
Around six months prior to this joyous event, Morgane took to Instagram to announce her pregnancy. On Monday, Oct. 30, she posted a heartfelt message celebrating their 10-year wedding anniversary. In her caption, Morgane wrote, “Fourteen years, two babies, and two more on the way. Happy 10-year anniversary, babe! You make my whole world go round.” The black and white photo of the couple captured their love and excitement for the future.
Chris and Morgane tied the knot in 2007 after meeting while working at adjacent publishing houses. They've been raising a young son and daughter together, though they've chosen to keep their children's names private. Now, with the arrival of their twin boys, their family is growing even larger, and their journey as parents continues to evolve.
