The “All on Me” singer, 36, and his wife welcomed their first child, daughter Iris Evraine Durrett, in July 2024. She announced that she plans to give birth to her second child in September 2025, a little over a year later.

December baby announcements include various shots of newborns. In the first photo, Sykes, 27, was smiling as he proudly held Nora Victoria. A second photo shows the newborn lying in a hospital basket, wrapped in a pink swaddle and hat.

A third photo shows baby Nora in Dawson’s arms as he lies next to his wife in a hospital bed. It also included a family selfie that showed her older sister Iris in the hospital with her.

Many people congratulated the couple in the comments section, including Lexi Burke, who wrote: “Welcome to Earth sweet Nora!!!!”

Charles Esten commented, “Congratulations!! 🎉🎈🎊❤️.”

Dawson and Sykes have been married for six years since October 2019, and their family has expanded. The two said they knew they were meant for each other after they met at Belmont University in Nashville.

“After our first date, I told my brother I didn’t want anyone else to be with her,” Dawson previously shared with PEOPLE. “He told me to lock the door! This was big because we had never talked about love or relationships at all.”

Sykes, on the other hand, knew Dawson as someone who “always prioritized the things that were important to me: my family, my music, my faith.”
