The couple welcomed 7-month-old sonMemphison Dec. 1, and the country megastar andField & Streambrand ambassador is also dad to two daughters from a previous marriage: Kendyl, 11 next month, and 15-year-old Keeley.
“After having our son, we knew we wanted to have two kids,” says Aldean, 41. “I have my two older daughters already, soafter Memphis was bornwe knew we wanted to have another one pretty quick — to go ahead and knock it out and have one that was a little closer in age to him.”
“I would much rather knock it out now while we’re used to having one in diapers and formula and all of that,” he adds. “I think it’s tougher when you get out of that and wait a couple yearsand then have to go redoit all. … We just wanted them to be close in age, and we figured we’re already in that mindset now, so why not?”

Aldean says his daughters are hugely into sports — specifically, volleyball and softball — and that Field & Stream is a “natural fit for me” considering his outdoorsy upbringing.

“I grew up loving the outdoors and hunting and fishing, so [Field & Stream] was an easy fit,” he tells PEOPLE. “I love what they stand for as far as traditions andeverything being about familyand passing things down from generation to generation, which is how I got into it — through my grandfather and dad.”
Aldean tells PEOPLE that he and his wife have been “throwing names around” for their little one on the way but “don’t have anything solid just yet.”
“When Memphis was born, we had that name picked and we liked it, andwe knew early onthat it was going to be that, but we were leaving our options open just in case something else came in that we liked better,” he recalls.
“And then we started ordering stuff and putting his name on it, so we were like, ‘All right, well,I guess that’s his name.’ But with this one we really don’t know yet,” Aldean explains.
