Meet the newest (and fluffiest) member of the Underwood fam.

Country music sensation and American Idol judge Carrie Underwood recently welcomed a new addition to her Tennessee farm—a baby lamb born on the same day as the season 3 finale of American Idol. In a heartwarming gesture, Carrie named the lamb “Jamal” after the show’s winner, Jamal Roberts.

The “Cowboy Casanova” singer shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo of the newborn lamb nestled beside its mother. She captioned the image, “Surprise! We’ve got another new life around the farm! This little guy happened to be born on the day of the @americanidol finale, so we figured it would only be right if we named him Jamal!!! ☺️Mama and Baby J are doing well…and I’m popping by the barn to get snuggles every chance I get! Welcome to the world, little dude!”

The timing of the adorable lamb’s birth added a special touch to the finale, which saw Jamal Roberts crowned the winner after a tight competition. Roberts, a 27-year-old P.E. teacher from Meridian, Mississippi, impressed judges and audiences alike with his soulful performances throughout the season. His victory marked a significant milestone in his career, earning him a recording contract and cash prize.

Carrie’s farm, which includes a variety of animals, has been a source of joy and relaxation for the busy singer. She previously shared moments from her life on the farm, including her latest hobbies like canning garlic, drying fruit, baking sourdough, and tending to her animals.

Fans of both Underwood and Roberts have expressed their excitement over the lamb’s name, with many taking to Carrie’s comment section to congratulate the new competition champ.

As Carrie continues to balance her music career with her life on the farm, the story of Jamal the lamb serves as a reminder of the unexpected joys that life can bring.
