Country star Jason Aldean, wife Brittany Kerr welcome son after tragedy

(WFLA) – Country star Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany Kerr have welcomed their first child.

Memphis Aldean came into the world on Friday weighing in at 9 pounds and five ounces. The baby was born in Nashville.

“So blessed today to see my little man come into the world,” Jason captioned an Instagram photo of his newest bundle of joy. “In a year that has been a rollercoaster ride, this is what its all about.”
