Amy Grant already has a lot to celebrate this year! Her daughter, Millie Long, had a baby just at the start of 2022 and Amy is now a grandma. Amy shared a statement about the new baby girl with PEOPLE.
She said, “What a way to kick off 2022! We are over the moon at her safe delivery. Mom and baby are doing great!” She added, “It is hard to believe that same 6-week-old girl who inspired the lyrics to ‘Baby Baby’ is now a beautiful married woman. Her life has given us a lot of reasons to dance and celebrate through the years!”

The new grandchild is likely a bright spot for Amy after a rough couple of years. She underwent open-heart surgery in 2020. At the time, Amy opened up about going through an unexpected, major surgery during a pandemic.
She shared, “The only way I can explain my experience would be to ask you to imagine a non-runner who was signed up for a marathon. I didn’t want it, but I had to have it anyway and it was a week ago Wednesday. And as people heard about the surgery I started getting messages: ‘I’m praying for you’ …’I’m praying for you’.”
Glad to hear that Amy and her family are doing well. Congrats to them on the baby!
