Thursday, September 7, 2023 – Kimberly Perry and her husband Johnny Costello announce the arrival of their son, Whit Costello.
Whit, who is their first child, was born on Aug. 26 at 4;01 p.m. in Nashville.

Our lives have become sweeter, our days have become so much fuller, our sleep has gotten shorter - but our house has truly become a home."
"We can't wait to show Whit the world - this bus baby is ready to roll."
