Elvie Shane is officially a girl dad!
The “My Boy” singer and his wife Mandi welcomed their first baby together on Tuesday, July 20. Zaelyn Journey Payton weighed 8 lbs., 1 oz., and measured 19.5 inches long.
“Our hearts are so full! Celebrating a top 15 single about ‘our boy’ and the birth of a beautiful, healthy, baby girl all in the same week is more than we could have ever hoped for,” the couple told People.
“A while back, my mom called me to tell me she had a dream that God told her I was going to have a baby girl — I didn’t think much of it until we decided on the name Zaelyn and looked it up. Lo and behold, it means a ‘gift of God.’ “
Elvie is also dad to his teenaged stepson with Mandi. Shane wrote “My Boy” about his stepson Caleb.
