Canadian country singer-songwriter Steven Lee Olsen and his wife of three months, Pure Country host Shannon Ella, are going to become parents before the end of the year.
“We are SO EXCITED to announce that this December, we will be adding Baby Olsen to our family!,” Ella shared in a tweet. “The fact that our love for one another is about to bring a beautiful little soul into this world is one of the most surreal and life altering feelings I have ever experienced."
In a tweet aimed at Olsen, Ella gushed: "You‘re the other half of my heart & I can’t wait to raise a family with you. It’s going be a crazy exciting adventure, learning to be parents together & I‘m so lucky to get to watch you be the most amazing father."
Olsen tweeted: “This baby doesn’t even know how lucky it is to have you yet, but I do.”

The Canadian couple, who live in Nashville, tied the knot in a backyard ceremony on May 7. Olsen and Ella met at the 2018 Canadian Country Music Association Awards in Hamilton, Ont. when his publicist asked if Ella wanted to talk to Olsen about his new song “Timing Is Everything” (in which Olsen sings about how “it feels so serendipitous” to meet “the prettiest girl on the planet”).
Olsen, a native of Newmarket, Ont., followed his country music dreams to Nashville in 2004. He released his debut EP in 2009 and established himself as a singer-songwriter to watch – earning a Rising Star nomination at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards in 2015.
In addition to performing, Olsen co-wrote Keith Urban’s 2017 hit single “Blue Ain’t Your Color,” which was nominated at both the Grammys (Best Country Song) and ACM Awards (Song of the Year).
