Country legend John Prine’s family has a brand-new reason to celebrate.
The late country-folk legend’s son, Tommy Prine, and his wife, Savannah, welcomed their first child together on September 24 in Nashville, Tenn. Their son, Theodore Chandler “Teddy” Prine, arrived at 2:01 a.m., weighing 7 lbs., 3 oz.
The couple shared that their son’s arrival was especially meaningful after years of fertility challenges. “After two years of trying and even beginning the IVF process, we were overjoyed to find out we had gotten pregnant naturally,” they explained, adding that their doctors called it “a true medical miracle.”

On Instagram, Tommy and Savannah posted a photo of themselves with their new bundle of joy and wrote, “On September 24th at 2:01 am our hearts utterly exploded to make room for the love we have for our son, Theodore Chandler Prine ♥️ (but to dad…. He’s just Teddy 🧸).”
