CBB Exclusive: Chad Brannon and wife welcome a son

We hear that former General Hospital star Chad Brannon, 28, and his wife Carly welcomed a baby boy this morning. Hudson Allen is 5 lbs, 3 oz and 18 ½ inches long. Carly had been due on January 15th, but Chad correctly guessed that their son would be arriving in December instead. Hudson is in the NICU for now.

The couple announced their second pregnancy in November — devastatingly, they had lost their daughter at almost 7 months along in February.

It funny that he named his son Hudson because so did Jason Gerhardt because they both are/ were on General Hospital!
Small world!

Leia, I thought the SAME thing! Even funnier that they weren’t on the show at the same time together. And it’s such an uncommon name too!

I AM SO HAPPY FOR CHAD AND HIS WIFE! MY FAMILY AND I WILL PRAY THAT EVERYTHING TURNS OUT ALRIGHT FOR THAT FAMILY. I’M GLAD THAT THEY GOT THEIR LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY AFTER THEIR DEVASTATING STILLBIRTH LAST YEAR.
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN TO THEIR FAMILY

Congratulations to Chad and his wife on their arrival of their son! I’m so glad to hear that little Hudson arrived well, after Chad and Carly’s devastating loss. I wish them all the best!

Definitely a small world, though, that two GH actors welcomed sons named Hudson.

That’s wonderful news! What a great Christmas present for their family!

Does anyone know what happened to their daughter? That is just sooo sad….

Sarah’s note: If you click the link to get to her post in the above paragraph, that’s all we know. They didn’t release much information, just that she had passed away and they lost her.
