Before this, all fans were able to see was the child's hand in a darling Instagram photo.

That image was shared to Instagram on Mother's Day. 

'The most perfect Mother's day … I wish all you Mama's the happiest of days today!' she wrote alongside the snap.

They also have three other sons (two of which are one-year-old twins) and a daughter.

They have never released the names of their children.

Chris, 41, and Morgane, 36, met in 2003 and wed in 2007.

Stapleton made the announcement that Morgane was pregnant for the fifth time when he was performing in November at Madison Square Garden in New York City. 

He was heard telling the audience: 'I've got an announcement to make. Some of you may know that we have four children. We just had twins about seven months ago. Now there's four for us, but we're gonna make it five!'

In June he talked about welcoming twins in April.

'Well, you know, it's like a baby times two, so we sleep less than having one baby,' Stapleton said.

 'But we're doing great, they're doing great and you know, it's an amazing and wonderful thing.'

He clicks with JT! Chris worked as a songwriter for years before he launched his own singing career. He was a hit early on, picking up award after award. But he did not come to international fame until he sang Tennessee Whiskey with Justin Timberlake at the CMAs in 2015. Seen in February at the BRIT Awards

And he said the older kids were thrilled too.  

'They're super helpful and kind and sweet to them, and I'm so proud of them,' Stapleton added. 'They're doing far better than I would have expected for the loss of attention that they have received in the last few months. So they're remarkable individuals.'

Last year he also talked about the magic of his marriage.

'We're married so we hold each other accountable,' Chris told The New York Times. 'We can lift each other up on bad nights, kind of give each other a wink when we screw up or do something funny.'
