Congratulations are in order for Chris Carmack and Erin Slaver.

The Nashville star, 35, and his fiancée welcomed their first child – a girl – the new mom announced via Instagram Thursday.

“In my life, I never imagined I’d experience something so beautiful,” Slaver captioned the image of her newborn lying on her chest.

She added: “I couldn’t have made it through naturally without @britteanderson and @realcarmack by my side. We are completely in love with our 2 day old, sweet baby girl.”

The new parents met on the set of Nashville when Slaver appeared as one of Juliette Barnes’ (Hayden Panettiere) backup singers.

Nashville returns Jan. 5 at 9 p.m. ET on CMT.

Congratulations to the Slaver-Carmack family.

In my life, I never imagined I’d experience something so beautiful. I couldn’t have made it through naturally without @britteanderson and @realcarmack by my side. We are completely in love with our 2 day old, sweet baby girl…
