Known for his introspective lyrics, Shane Eagle expressed his excitement and gratitude for this new chapter by posting a picture of the couple holding hands with their new baby on Instagram.

“My most beautiful and greatest blessing, my baby daughter Gia, love you to the moon and back my lil crab,’’ he said.
