Several singer-songwriters shared their congratulations on Instagram, including Charley Crockett, who commented, “Congratulations 💗.”
Paul Cauthen wrote, “🙏🙏🙏 love you guys can’t wait to meet the nephew. ⚡️⚡️⚡️.”
The news comes over a year after the couple wed on Aug. 31, 2025, according to a September 2025 interview Lane did with The Sydney Morning Herald. She told the outlet of newlywed life a month after the wedding, “I am lucky to have found a loving and kind person.”
In the same article, the “Highway Queen” revealed that she first met her husband, who had been an Englishman living in the U.S. for 15 years, through mutual friends in 2023. She shared that she took him “two-stepping” and they have “talked every day since.”
“He was looking for someone who could match his energy and long-term goals,” she recalled.
Lane said he eventually proposed to her while on a road trip to Aspen, Colo. During the trip, the pair made their way through Las Vegas and passed a wedding chapel sign, and Crescent waited for the perfect moment to pop the question.
“I felt a pang of excitement. He had a ring on him and we got engaged,” Lane recalled.
