Great news about Luke Bryan's brand new great nephew Jonathan!  Luke's niece recently gave birth to a baby boy, but he was born around seven weeks early and is spending some time growing in the NICU. Jordan Eudy delivered son Jonathan on May 7 and weighed just under four pounds. Now he mostly "just needs hugs".

The great news is, he is now doing well! and Luke recently shared that the little guy is over six pounds now.  Luke and Jordan have a very close bond.

Jordan's mother (Luke's sister) died in 2007 and her father died seven years later.  Luke became her guardian and also to his nephew Til.  By all accounts Luke has been an exceptional parent figure to his sister's kids and we are so happy for Jordan, Luke and baby Jonathan.

I know a little something about having a prematurely born baby boy.  My son William was born five weeks early and some some time in the Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit.  The happiest day of my life was when we got to bring him home.  I know just the joy that awaits them.
