Justin Moore admits he was shocked to learn he was about to become a dad. The singer, who last month found out he had a baby on the way, laughs as he tells TheBoot.com the news was hard for him to believe, since, quote, "I don't think I've been home but three days the whole year." He and his wife, Kate, know they're having a girl. Moore first saw the baby in an ultrasound when his wife was about five months into her pregnancy, and he admits, quote, "my daughter kinda looked like an alien -- most beautiful alien I've ever seen." But he adds, quote, "You could see her sucking her thumb already that early, and I said, 'Well, that's it. I'm in love.'"Justin and Kate have already picked a name for their little bundle of joy -- Ella Kole. Justin says his wife chose both names, noting she just likes the name Ella, while Cole -- spelled with a "C" -- is also his middle name. Ella Kole is due in February.
Little Ella isn't the only new arrival for Moore. He just released "Backwoods," the third single from his self-titled debut CD, as well as a video for the song. The clip for "Backwoods" is up for viewing on CMT.com and his label's website, TheValoryMusicCo.com.
