NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As revealed on People.com, “Lewis Brice is a father!” The couple welcomed their first baby together, daughter Rhaelynn Dawn Brice, on Monday, April 29.
Lewis reveals the inspiration behind their daughter’s name to People.com, “Rhaelynn Dawn Brice — a.k.a. Rhae Rhae, a.k.a my little Rhae of sunshine — is a full family name deriving from my wife Denelle’s middle name, her grandmother’s middle name, her mother’s first name and my last name as well.”
Lewis expresses the profound experience of holding his newborn daughter for the first time to People.com, describing it as an encounter with perfection. “The first time I got to hold Rhaelynn Dawn I felt like I was holding perfection at it’s best,” he shared. “A sweet little baby angel. I’ve never known I could stare at something so much and never want to stop. She’s amazing and the feeling I got is almost indescribable because it was such an awesome moment. We are truly blessed.”
Lewis and Denelle tied the knot in October 2022, opting for an outdoor wedding in Delano, Tennessee. The two first met when they crossed paths at Tin Roof in Nashville in 2017, where Denelle was working as a bartender at the time. Lewis said he knew immediately that she was someone special.
Recently, Lewis released the music video for his sentimental love song, “Shadow,” which was exclusively premiered by Taste of Country, noting that “Brice pours his heart out over a grand piano in the stark, intimate clip.” Brice shared with Taste of Country on the inspiration behind the video, “I was honing in on my now wife, Denelle, and how she’s my fire and inspiration for a lot of music that’s gotten me to where I am.” To watch the official music video for “Shadow”, click HERE.
