Aly Michalka Welcomes First Baby, a Boy, with Husband Stephen Ringer: 'Everything We Could Imagine' (Exclusive)


"It was a very peaceful and calm birth, which is really what we were hoping for," Aly & AJ musician and actress Aly Michalka tells PEOPLE after welcoming her first baby, son Jack Francis, with husband Stephen Ringer.

The Aly & AJ musician and actress, 35, has welcomed her first baby, son Jack Francis, with husband Stephen Ringer in a home birth at their Santa Barbara residence after nine years of marriage, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal. Given the recording studio's distance from their home, Aly and her husband put a "backup plan" in place to welcome Jack at a nearby Airbnb and had her "full birth kit" ready to go. Looking forward, Aly's excited to bring Jack on tour once the new album is released and anticipating simple milestones, from trying "pizza and ice cream" to visiting her "mom's ranch with all the horses, little animals and dogs running around."
