Jason and Brittany Aldean are proud parents to two adorable toddlers, four-year-old Memphis and three-year-old Navy. But although Navy’s the baby of the family, she’s technically older than her big brother, Brittany explains.
That’s because both kids were conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF), as the couple struggled with infertility as a result of Brittany’s endometriosis.
The first of two rounds of IVF yielded five embryos, one male and four female. “I was set on having a boy first, so we transferred the one boy we had and he didn’t implant,” Brittany shares.
So they went for round two of IVF, producing two male embryos. The first once again did not implant, but the third and final male embryo resulted in Brittany’s pregnancy with Memphis.
For their second child, the couple implanted one of the embryos from the first round of IVF, “and were immediately pregnant with Navy,” Brittany continues.
“Sooooo…in a sense, she’s older, right?” the singer’s wife sums up, along with a mind-blown emoji.
No matter who’s technically older, one thing’s for sure: Both the Aldean tots are adorable. The two kids frequently appear in the pictures Brittany posts to social media, and Memphis even occasionally makes an appearance onstage at his famous dad’s concerts.
