Brantley Gilbert isn’t planning on growing his family anytime soon.

The country singer, 39, appeared on the Wednesday, Dec. 18 episode of the YouTube show Something’s Burning where he spoke about how he’s going on a “guy’s trip” to get vasectomies with a few of his friends. Gilbert, who recently welcomed his third baby after his wife Amber gave birth on his tour bus, shared that he just wanted “moral support.”

“I’m about to have a bunch of them, boy we having a testicle festival December 11th,” Gilbert said on the show. “I’m getting clipped.”

“I’m taking several of my buddies, we’re doing it together, you know what I mean?” he continued. “I wanted moral support.”

Gilbert added that they “hired a nurse” and everything, saying that the process was actually very easy.

On Oct. 11, Gilbert and his wife Amber Cochran Gilbert welcomed their third baby, son Abram Howell, on their tour bus while Gilbert was mid-show at Cadence Bank Arena in Tupelo, Mississippi, during his Off the Rails Tour.

Chatting with Audacy later that month, the dad of three shared new details from the unforgettable experience and praised his wife for her strength that night.

“[Amber] was a soldier – such an understatement,” Gilbert shared. “I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. She was just so strong.” On the other hand, “I was such an emotional wreck — it was ridiculous. She handled it a million times better than I did,” he admitted.

The dad of three then recalled the night Abram was born in full detail, sharing, “We were four songs into the set, and my tour manager comes up and pulls on my arm. The first thing that came to mind is, ‘It’s a security threat.’ “

“He looked at me, and he gave me a stern like, ‘Come on.’ He was like, ‘Baby.’ He mouthed ‘baby’ to me and when he did, I dropped the mic and everything and took off running,” he remembered.

Gilbert continued, “The minute I walked on the bus, I washed my hands really quick, and the minute I knelt beside her, her water broke. I looked at the midwife, and she looked back at me, and I was just wide-eyed. She’s like, ‘We’re having a baby.’ “

The country star initially revealed that the couple welcomed baby No. 3 in an Instagram video featuring the conversation between himself and his mother as he told her the news.

He wrote in the caption, “We will never forget the way you got here and we can’t wait to see what you do here. Abram Howell Gilbert 10.11.24”
