Country singer Drake White and his wife announce the death of their baby daughter shortly after birth.

Country music singer Drake White and his wife, Alex, are grappling with profound grief following the loss of their newborn daughter, Della Elizabeth White, who died shortly after birth. The tragic event occurred last week, and the couple shared their sorrowful announcement via social media, reflecting the emotional weight of their experience.

In a heartfelt message posted on Instagram, the Whites revealed that Della was born on August 31 at 8:52 a.m., weighing just over 3 pounds and measuring 13.25 inches long. Just twenty minutes later, at 9:12 a.m., their daughter passed away peacefully. The couple expressed gratitude for the brief moments they were able to spend with Della, stating, “We are so thankful for the holy moments God gave us with her.”

Accompanying their announcement was a poignant photograph featuring the couple in a hospital setting, with Alex cradling their daughter. The image was underscored by the Bible verse from Psalm 34:18, which offers solace to those experiencing deep sorrow. The couple conveyed that although they are heartbroken, they are supported by their faith, stating, “The Lord has been so near and close to us during this difficult time. He has held us up and sustained us through it all.”

Drake and Alex, who have been married since 2014, are also parents to a 2-year-old son named William. His birth followed a challenging six-year journey laden with infertility and health complications. Earlier this year, in May, the couple had announced their excitement at expecting another child after overcoming hurdles related to Alex’s type 1 diabetes and an autoimmune disorder. Their second pregnancy was made possible through in vitro fertilization (IVF), and they were anticipating Della’s arrival in November.

As they navigate this painful chapter, the couple’s resilience and faith shine through during a time of unimaginable loss. The support they received from their community, alongside their deep-rooted beliefs, will undoubtedly play a significant role in their healing process as they cope with the loss of their beloved daughter.
