Country singer Lauren Alaina and her husband, Cam Arnold, have welcomed their first baby. On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, the couple became parents to a baby girl. They named her Beni Doll Arnold. The baby was born in Nashville at 8:44 AM, weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces and measuring 19 inches long.
Lauren Alaina shared the news on Instagram. She wrote that her heart changed the moment she saw her daughter. She called Beni “absolute perfection” and said they are “honored God chose us to be your parents.” She also thanked fans for their love and support. At the same time, Lauren released a brand new song. The song is called “Heaven Sent.” She wrote it for her daughter and to honor the memory of her late father. Beni arrived just ahead of Father’s Day, which will be Lauren’s first without her dad. She said that Beni is a gift from God and that her dad is “sitting up there in Heaven Sent.” The song came out on June 13, 2025.
Lauren Alaina's daughter Beni’s birth and meaning
Beni was born on June 11 in Nashville. Both Lauren Alaina and Cam Arnold shared moments from the hospital with fans. They posted photos from the hospital room showing them holding their newborn baby. In the posts, Lauren talked about how she felt. She said,
"The right words are hard to find to describe how parts of my heart that I didn’t even knew existed were unlocked at 8:44 am when they laid you on my belly for the first time. I will never be the same. You, to your dad and me, are absolute perfection. We are honored God chose us to be your parents. Thank you to everyone for all of the love, prayers and support for our precious daughter."
Lauren and Cam were married in February 2024 in Nashville. They had wanted a child, but there was also sadness in their year. Lauren lost her father, J.J. Suddeth, in July 2024. She says this baby feels like a new start after a hard time.
“Heaven Sent”: a song for Lauren Alaina's daughter and father
Lauren Alaina released a new song called “Heaven Sent” on June 13, 2025. The song came out just two days after Beni was born. It was co‑written with songwriters Hardy and Ben Johnson. The song is a mix of joy and reflection. Lauren says it was written while she was sad about her father’s passing and at the same time learning she was pregnant. She said she didn’t know when she would share the song, but watching her husband become a dad made her want to do it now.
The timing was powerful. Beni was born just before Father’s Day, Lauren’s first Father’s Day without her dad. She says the day will always be hard, but now she has a new reason to celebrate: Beni’s dad. She calls Beni “truly a gift from God that my old man sitting up there in Heaven Sent”.
The lyrics talk about “two pretty little pink lines” on a test and about feeling that her father had something to do with this new life. The song is now streaming everywhere.
Lauren Alaina and Cam Arnold are now proud parents of baby Beni Doll Arnold. The birth came with happiness and new meaning after a hard year. Congratulations to the happy family. We wish them joy, health, and love as they grow together.
