Lauren Alaina’s pregnancy brought her even closer to her husband, Cam Arnold.
“It has attached me to my husband, which I’m already attached to my husband,” Alaina, 30, exclusively told Us Weekly at Variety’s Power of Women event hosted by Lifetime on Thursday, May 1, in Nashville. “It was really hard to leave him every weekend, so he started coming on the road towards the end of the Rascal Flatts tour, which helped.”
The American Idol alum and Arnold wed in February 2024, nearly one year before announcing they are expecting their first baby. While speaking with Us about how starting a family has impacted her relationship, Alaina joked that she is now “very pregnant.”
“I am taking it day by day, and I’m really proud,” she gushed on Thursday. “I’ve been telling everyone, this is the most confident I’ve ever felt because I’ve been kind of hard on my body in the past and struggled for a really long time with self-worth and feeling confident in my skin and being on stage. Being pregnant and just representing this little girl in here who’s going to be a woman someday has just made me so proud.”

Alaina and Arnold are expecting a daughter, whom the singer says has “changed [her] life already.”
“[She’s] not even here,” Alaina added, teasing how it’s felt to continue touring throughout her pregnancy. “I just performed at Bridgestone [Arena with Kane Brown]. We just wrapped up the Rascal Flatts tour. I have one more show on May 10th, so [I could] possibly have her that night. … You celebrate wrapping up that show, get that check and run to the hospital, I guess. Take the tour bus to the hospital? A working woman!”
Alaina, who noted that she has “felt really good” throughout her pregnancy, also can’t wait to inspire her daughter as a working mom.
“I was a little girl with a big dream. Now I’m having a little girl and it has just changed everything for me, to think about who she’s going to be and what she’s going to want to do,” she told Us. “I think that is why I’ve worked all the way to the end of the pregnancy — because she’s changed my perspective [by] thinking about her and the woman she’s going to become and setting an example for her.”

Alaina is also grateful that fellow attendees Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood and more can also inspire her little girl.
