AceShowbiz - Brantley Gilbert has no plan to add another baby with his wife. The country singer, 39, recently revealed his plan to undergo a vasectomy alongside a group of his friends, turning what is usually a private procedure into a bro-bonding experience.
The announcement was made during an appearance on the YouTube cooking show "Something's Burning" hosted by comedian Bert Kreischer.
The father of three, who recently welcomed his third child, son Abram Howell, in an unusual setting - a tour bus during a live performance - shared, "I'm about to have a bunch of them, boy....on december 11th I'm getting clipped."
The singer emphasized the need for "moral support," explaining, "I'm taking several of my buddies, we're doing it together, you know what I mean?"
Gilbert detailed the steps they've taken to make this event happen, saying they "hired a nurse" and referred to the procedure as "really easy." He added that the vasectomies won't take place at his home, but they plan to recover there afterward, highlighting the simplicity and convenience of the process.
For Gilbert, the decision to undergo a vasectomy is rooted in practicality and the desire to avoid future mid-tour births.
His wife, Amber, who gave birth to their third child while on the road, joined Gilbert for his Off the Rails Tour despite being heavily pregnant. Gilbert reminisced about that overwhelming moment, recounting the events that led to Abram's birth in full detail. "I dropped the mic and everything and took off running," he shared.
He further praised his wife for her incredible strength, stating, "[Amber] was a soldier - such an understatement. She was just so strong." Contrastingly, Gilbert admitted he was an "emotional wreck" and credited Amber for handling the situation far better than he did.
Vasectomies, like the one planned by Gilbert and his friends, are not as uncommon as one might think. The procedure is quick, reversible, and soundly eliminates the risk of future pregnancies. Gilbert's plan to make it a group event adds an element of camaraderie, making what could be a daunting experience more manageable and even fun.
Regardless of the fame and fortune that comes with a successful music career, Gilbert's decision symbolizes a practical approach to family planning. As he humorously advocates for his plans, it's clear that for this country music star, three is just the right number.
