Brad Paisley is throwing his congrats to Carrie Underwood back to the 2018 CMA Awards.
Referencing the “Before He Cheats” singer’s announcement that the second child she was pregnant with at the time would be a boy, Paisley re-shared Underwood’s photo of husband Mike Fisher that she posted Wednesday to announce the birth of their son Jacob Bryan.
“Like I said, it’s a Willie! Er … a Jacob!” joked Paisley, congratulating the couple and their 3½-year-old Isaiah Michael in the remainder of the caption on his Wednesday post.
Fans of Underwood, 35, will recall her hosting gig with Paisley at November’s CMA Awards — their 11th consecutive year running the show together! — when Paisley tried to coax her into spilling the beans.
“Seriously Carrie, give me a little baby hint? Johnny or June? Keith or Nicole. Garth or Trisha. Tim or Faith. George or Tammy. Waylon or Willie?” he prodded.
“Oh my gosh — Willie, it’s a Willie, okay?!” she conceded.

“When I saw Brad, after not seeing him for a little bit, and I had kinda popped, I guess … ” a then-pregnant Underwood said in a sit-down with PEOPLE Now ahead of the CMAs.
” ‘Popped’ is the word,” agreed Paisley, 46.
“I walked in the door and he said, ‘Holy cow!‘ ” she continued, joking, “Poor choice of words.”

“Jacob Bryan Fisher! You are a gift from our Lord!” the former pro hockey player, 38, captioned his post. “The last few years has had its challenges and it makes this moment even more sweet!”
