Jesse Keith Whitley Welcomes Son, “Konrad Thomas Whitley”

Jesse and Kristen Whitley announced they were expecting back in October of last year with a reveal featuring their two daughters, 5-year-old Kimber Rose and 2-year-old Kallie Rayne.

Jesse also has a 12-year-old son from a previous marriage named Jackie Keith Whitley, who goes by the nickname “Tuff.”

Now, Jesse and Kristen have officially welcomed their third child together into the world. This time, their family was blessed with a healthy baby boy.

In a post shared to his official Facebook page, Jesse announced that their son was born on Saturday, April 12, at 8:08 am. He weighed 9.1 pounds and measured 21 inches long.

Just like their daughters, they have continued the tradition of giving their children names that start with the letter “K.” Their baby boy is named Konrad Thomas Whitley. The name “Thomas” was chosen in honor of Jesse’s grandfather, George Morgan, who also shared the same middle name.

Family, friends, and fans filled the comment section of the post with love and congratulatory messages. They also couldn’t stop talking about how sweet the photos that went along with it were.

The pictures showed Jesse, Kristen, and their newborn son in the hospital just moments after his arrival.

See the first photos of their new baby below.

The Famous Whitley Family Name Continues

It’s so exciting to see Jesse and Kristen’s family grow, now even more complete with the addition of their baby boy.

What makes it even more special is that little Konrad is now part of one of country music’s most legendary families. If you didn’t know, Jesse is the son of Lorrie Morgan and the late Keith Whitley.

Keith passed away in 1989 when Jesse was just a toddler, but Jesse has kept his memory alive by becoming a singer himself and honoring his dad through music whenever he can.
