While speaking to People, Brooks said:

“We are just overjoyed! We couldn’t be happier! We always wanted a sibling for Everleigh because I gave my older brother, and Kelly has an older brother and two stepsisters. So we were excited to be able to give Everleigh a sibling, and when we found out it was a girl, it was perfect because Everleigh is just so awesome, caring, strong, and such a personality.”
